A correct statement about technical security countermeasures (TSCM) is that they:

Technical security countermeasures (TSCM) are specialized techniques and tools used to detect and prevent unauthorized surveillance or eavesdropping. These measures are most effective when integrated into a broader overall protection strategy that includes physical security, personnel training, and information security.

Integration into Protection Strategy:

TSCM complements other security measures by focusing on electronic surveillance threats.

Examples include detecting hidden microphones, signal intercepts, and other forms of technical espionage.

Specialized Expertise:

TSCM requires advanced technical skills and equipment, often provided by trained specialists.

Proactive and Reactive Measures:

TSCM includes regular sweeps and ongoing monitoring to identify vulnerabilities.

A: TSCM is highly specialized and cannot be performed by an average security supervisor.

B: While some countries regulate TSCM, government approval is not universally required.

D: Remote TSCM is not feasible due to the need for on-site detection and physical assessment.
