Your firewall does not cover the conference room.

The collection target

Technology intellectual property is the most systematically targeted commercial asset in Asia, by competitors, by well-funded new entrants seeking a shortcut, and in some sectors by state-aligned industrial collection. While cyber defences absorb attention and budget, the physical-acoustic route remains the soft underbelly: a product war room, an architecture review, an executive offsite where the three-year roadmap is debated slide by slide.

The sector's culture compounds the exposure. Open offices, hot-desking, contractor-heavy workforces, rapid hiring, prolific meeting-room technology and a general assumption that threats arrive through the network, all of it makes physical collection easier. An engineer's departure to a competitor is reviewed for code exfiltration; almost no one asks what the meeting rooms heard in their final month.

How we protect technology firms

• R&D and lab perimeter assurance, the rooms where unreleased products, prototypes and architectures are discussed, inspected on a cadence matched to your release cycle.
• Executive floor and war room coverage, leadership suites, strategy offsites and launch war rooms protected during the most sensitive phases of the product calendar.
• Meeting-room technology audit, the conferencing systems, wireless presentation devices and room-booking hardware that saturate tech offices, examined for compromise and misconfiguration, the sector's most common leak path.
• Departure-linked inspections, targeted assurance when senior technical staff exit to competitors, complementing your existing offboarding forensics.
• Insider threat response, when a rival's product or filing looks uncomfortably familiar, our Corporate Espionage Response capability establishes the channel and preserves your legal options, including trade-secret litigation support.
• Partner and vendor meeting support, joint-venture negotiations, licensing discussions and supplier meetings, where the counterparty across the table may also be a competitor.

Complementing your security organisation

We work alongside CISOs and corporate security teams, not around them. TSCM findings feed your existing incident processes; our infrastructure observations align with your network team's remit; and our independence gives your board an external check no internal function can provide about itself.
