What We Do
Three Capabilities. One Practice.
Red Castle’s TSCM practice, in addition to end-to-end cybersecurity posture and hygiene assessment, combines physical sweep expertise, digital signals intelligence, and secure room engineering – the firm in Nigeria offering all three in a single engagement.
Tier 1 · Tier 2 · Tier 3
Professional TSCM Sweeps
Systematic, evidence-grade detection of all known surveillance threats using calibrated professional instruments operated by trained practitioners.
- RF spectrum surveillance detection (100 kHz–6 GHz)
- Non-linear junction detection - finds powered and unpowered devices
- Thermal imaging - identifies heat from hidden electronics
- Optical camera detection - reveals hidden cameras
- Telephone line analysis - detects PABX and copper taps
- Clearance Certificate + formal Sweep Report
Cyber TSCM
Digital Signals Intelligence
Physical sweeps integrated with digital analysis – rogue wireless devices, network anomalies, and IoT-based surveillance threats detected and documented together.
- Software-defined radio signal analysis
- Rogue WiFi and Bluetooth device discovery
- VoIP and network forensic traffic analysis
- IMSI catcher (fake cellular tower) detection
- AI-assisted signal anomaly classification
- OT/ICS control room integration available
Retainer
Ongoing SCR Protection
A monthly retainer that keeps your executive environment permanently protected – with scheduled sweeps, whitelist management, and priority emergency response.
- Monthly scheduled sweep + Clearance Certificate
- Whitelist pre-population before every meeting
- Priority 24-hour emergency call-out SLA (Lagos)
- Quarterly deep sweep + full systems recertification
- Monthly TSCM Status Report to CISO/CSO
- Annual TSCM awareness session for staff
Secure Conference Room
A Room That Cannot Be Bugged, Recorded, or Leaked.
A Red Castle Secure Conference Room (SCR) is a purpose-hardened meeting space built on
six defence layers. Communications cannot leave. Recordings cannot survive. Your approved team operates normally.
six defence layers. Communications cannot leave. Recordings cannot survive. Your approved team operates normally.
01
Physical Acoustic Isolation
Purpose-built construction to international acoustic standards. Raised-voice discussion in the SCR is unintelligible from any adjacent space – regardless of directional microphones, contact sensors, or laser microphones positioned externally.
02
Passive RF Shielding
A continuous conductive enclosure blocks all electromagnetic transmission – inbound and outbound. No wireless device inside the room can transmit. No external signal can penetrate. No surveillance device can phone home.
03
Active RF Control & Whitelist
A licensed system manages cellular access: your approved phone numbers work normally. All others receive “No Service.” Enterprise WiFi authentication blocks non-enrolled devices. Approved executives remain fully connected.
04
Ultrasonic Anti-Recording
Ultrasonic emitters mounted in the ceiling saturate the microphones of smartphones, laptops, and wearables. Any recording made inside the SCR is incoherent – even if the device appears to be functioning normally.
05
White Noise Masking
Broadband acoustic noise is injected into every structural surface of the room. Contact microphones on walls, pipes, and windows detect only noise. Laser microphones aimed at the glass receive only noise. STI target: <0.25.
06
Entry Protocol & Device Management
Every device entering the SCR is logged and physically isolated. Approved attendees register devices in advance. The Security Host manages the door. No unregistered device enters. No unregistered device records.
SCR Classification: Level 1 – RESTRICTED: Sweep + device protocol (existing space) | Level 2 – CONFIDENTIAL: Anti-recording + WiFi whitelist + acoustic treatment | Level 3 – SECRET: All layers – Faraday shielding + licensed cellular management + full construction
The Whitelist Solution
Approved Phones Work. Everything Else Goes Dark.
Our whitelist architecture is the answer to the question every executive asks: “But what
about my phone?” Your approved devices are registered in advance. They maintain full connectivity. Unauthorised devices are blocked without any disruption to your business.
about my phone?” Your approved devices are registered in advance. They maintain full connectivity. Unauthorised devices are blocked without any disruption to your business.
✅ Approved - Fully Connected
📱Pre-registered executive phones – calls and data work normally throughout the meeting
💻Enrolled corporate laptops – connect to approved network with full access
📞Approved VoIP conferencing lines – inbound and outbound calls permitted to whitelisted numbers
🖥️Certified room AV systems – videoconference codec and approved infrastructure operational
❌ Non-Approved - Blocked
🚫 Unregistered SIM cards – “No Service” displayed; cannot make or receive calls
🚫 Non-enrolled personal laptops and tablets – denied WiFi authentication
🚫 Hidden recording devices – RF shielding prevents wireless transmission of recordings
🚫 Unknown Bluetooth devices – cannot pair with room infrastructure or relay audio
Use Cases
Who We Protect. What We Prevent.
Red Castle’s TSCM practice serves organisations where a single intelligence leak could cost
a transaction, a competitive position, or human life. Here is a representative sample of what we do.
a transaction, a competitive position, or human life. Here is a representative sample of what we do.
Banking / Capital Markets
Pre-Board Sweep - USD 2B Acquisition Discussion
A Tier-1 bank’s GMD requests a full sweep 24 hours before a board meeting on a pending acquisition. Red Castle sweeps the boardroom, activates all countermeasures, and issues a Clearance Certificate. A rogue device is found and documented. The meeting is rescheduled. The deal closes – securely.
Oil & Gas
Multi-Site PSC Negotiation Protection
An upstream operator suspects their prior negotiation positions were leaked to a counterparty. Red Castle sweeps three venues – Lagos HQ, Port Harcourt office, and the neutral hotel suite – in a 72-hour window. Clearance certificates for all three sites are issued before negotiations resume.
Government / Critical Infrastructure
Ministry Conference Room - SCR Level 2
Cabinet-level sessions on sensitive national policy. The ministry’s conference room is swept, hardened to SCR Level 2 specification, and certified. A monthly Red Castle retainer maintains ongoing protection. Approved ministerial phones remain fully operational throughout every session.
Legal & Professional Services
Privileged Communication Integrity - Law Firm
A major law firm’s privileged litigation strategy appears to have reached opposing counsel. An after-hours sweep discovers a device in the partners’ conference room. A forensic chain-of-custody Compromise Assessment Report is issued for use in legal proceedings.
High-Net-Worth / Personal Security
Residence & Vehicle Fleet Sweep
A principal’s personal security officer identifies a credible surveillance threat. A plainclothes Red Castle team conducts a Tier 3 sweep of two residences and a vehicle fleet – covertly and discreetly. Ongoing retainer activated. No media attention. No disruption to the principal’s schedule.
OT / Critical Infrastructure
Integrated TSCM + OT/ICS - Power Generation
A power generation company suspects SCADA screen content is being observed and recorded in the control room. Red Castle deploys a joint TSCM and OT/ICS team – equipped to address both physical and operational technology surveillance threats in one engagement.
Red Castle serves 20+ documented use case types across Banking, Oil & Gas, Government, Legal, Telecoms, Diplomatic, Hospitality, Healthcare, Media, Defence, and Education sectors.
