Welcome to the world of Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) in Switzerland, where safeguarding your business is paramount.
Join us on a journey with Archthetic to explore the essentials of TSCM, how it enhances security standards, the legal landscape ensuring compliance, cultural nuances, and our commitment to challenging the status quo in the financial sector.
Why Archthetic Expanded into the Swiss TSCM Market : A Response to Espionage Threats
The Swiss Federal Intelligence Service (FIS) authorized the credible Institute for Criminal Law and Criminology at the University of Bern to investigate the scale of industrial espionage in Switzerland. Astonishingly, about one-third of surveyed companies disclosed falling prey to industrial espionage, likely victims of unauthorized technical surveillance, known as “bugging,” during these covert operations.
The financial impact of these activities is substantial, with a significant 11% of these companies facing a real risk of going out of business.
This isn’t just a problem in Switzerland; other European nations have found similar results.
The widespread nature of these espionage threats highlights the urgent need for better security measures. Archthetic’s decision to expand into the Swiss TSCM market is a response to these challenges, aiming to offer effective solutions and protect businesses from potential risks.
