Electronic Sweeps for Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)
An M&A operation concentrates, for weeks, the most valuable information of two companies into a few rooms and a few devices. That is precisely the moment of greatest interest to espionage — and the moment when electronic sweeping protects the most value.
In short
In mergers and acquisitions, the leak of a number or a clause can cost the entire deal. Electronic sweeps (TSCM) protect negotiation rooms, physical data rooms, board meetings and residences where the deal is discussed — detecting bugs, cameras and wiretaps before and during the process. SCS Detect serves sensitive operations with absolute discretion and response within 4 hours.
Negotiation rooms and board meetings verified before each round
Physical data rooms and due-diligence environments
Telephony and devices used by the deal teams
Residences and vehicles where the deal is discussed
Baseline sweep + periodic re-inspections during the process
Why M&A is such a sensitive target
Price, structure, synergies and a negotiation’s breaking points are hugely valuable to the other side, to competitors and to the market. A single well-placed bug in a negotiation room can reverse the information asymmetry that underpins the deal.
What to protect and when
We recommend a baseline sweep before critical rounds and periodic re-inspections as the operation advances, covering negotiation rooms, data rooms, telephony, team devices and external environments used to discuss the deal. Environments reopened by third parties (cleaning, IT, renovations) should be re-inspected.
How SCS Detect serves M&A operations
We work with reserved scheduling, outside business hours when needed, and a reinforced confidentiality protocol. We deliver an executive report for decision-makers and a detailed technical report, preserving the confidentiality of the operation from start to finish.
