Office Bug Sweeps
Surveillance detection for executive offices and corporate workspaces where confidential information is handled daily.
Your private office is where strategy is made, cases are prepared, and confidential information flows freely. It's also the highest-value surveillance target in any building. A single device placed in your office before a major negotiation, deposition, or HR meeting can compromise everything that follows. Empire Investigation LLC has conducted professional office bug sweeps for Pittsburgh attorneys, physicians, executives, HR directors, and business owners for over 40 years.
Our office sweep protocol covers desk areas, conference tables, visitor seating, phone handsets, power outlets, ceiling tiles, wall art, and every object in the space — particularly anything new or recently moved. We use RF spectrum analysis, NLJD scanning, and optical lens detection. We work after business hours to avoid disruption, and we provide written documentation of findings or confirmation that the space is clean.
High-risk timing for an office sweep: before a major negotiation, immediately following a terminated employee's last day in the office, after office renovation or any contractor access, and before sensitive legal proceedings.
Common Surveillance Risks in Office Environments
Office surveillance devices are often installed during after-hours cleaning, IT maintenance, or visits by outside contractors. Executives, attorneys, financial professionals, and anyone handling sensitive organizational information are at elevated risk. Devices in offices may be designed to capture audio, video, or both — and may transmit in real time or store data for later retrieval.
What a Professional Office Sweep Covers
A thorough office sweep includes physical inspection of all surfaces, objects, and fixtures; electronic scanning for RF and wireless transmissions; NLJD inspection for passive devices; and a review of telephone and network infrastructure. Every object in the space is treated as a potential concealment point until confirmed clear.
What We Look For
- Hidden cameras in office equipment or personal items
- Microphones concealed in desk accessories or furniture
- Wireless devices transmitting over office Wi-Fi or cellular
- Hardwired devices connected to office electrical systems
- Devices in telephone handsets or office communication equipment
