Private, certified counter-surveillance — across California.
From Los Angeles executive offices to the venture offices along Sand Hill Road, the studio lots of Hollywood, Vandenberg Space Force Base's defense contractors, the biotech labs of South San Francisco and Torrey Pines, the terminals at the Port of Long Beach, and the Central Valley's agribusiness operations, California's executives, attorneys, and high-profile residents face real surveillance risk. Bugged deploys certified TSCM specialists statewide to detect and remove hidden cameras, audio bugs, GPS trackers, and compromised devices - discreetly, and on your schedule. Every sweep is law-enforcement-grade and completely confidential.
Recording laws in California: what you need to know.
California generally requires all-party consent for many private communications - and that higher-consent rule matters if you suspect surveillance.
Phone & electronic - all-party consent
In many private call or electronic communication scenarios, every party should consent before recording. Intercepting a conversation you are not part of can create criminal exposure.In-person - privacy matters
Private in-person conversations in California can trigger consent and privacy rules, especially when hidden devices are used without notice.Unlawful recording or surveillance can carry criminal penalties and civil consequences. If you suspect a hidden device is present, a professional sweep can confirm the threat and document the evidence.
California industry hotspots for corporate espionage.
Certain California industries and campuses draw a disproportionate share of surveillance and espionage attempts. Here's where - and why - the risk concentrates.
Vandenberg Space Force Base & Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works
Cleared contractors around Vandenberg and Palmdale's Skunk Works handle classified launch, satellite, and stealth programs - making badge-holders, briefcases, and boardrooms near these sites prime targets for foreign intelligence collection.
Sand Hill Road & the Googleplex
Venture term sheets, unreleased source code, and acquisition talks moving through Sand Hill Road and Mountain View's tech campuses are exactly the kind of trade secrets that draw corporate espionage and insider-threat surveillance.
Warner Bros. Studios & the Hollywood Backlots
Unreleased scripts, casting decisions, and pre-release footage moving through Burbank's studio lots and Hollywood production offices routinely attract leaks, paparazzi surveillance, and industrial espionage between rival productions.
Port of Los Angeles & Port of Long Beach
As the busiest container port complex in the Western Hemisphere, the Ports of LA and Long Beach carry shipping manifests, customs data, and supply-chain routing that make terminal offices and logistics firms attractive intercept targets.
Genentech's South San Francisco Campus & Torrey Pines
Clinical trial data, patent filings, and licensing negotiations across South San Francisco's biotech corridor and San Diego's Torrey Pines research cluster represent billions in IP - a magnet for competitor and state-sponsored espionage.
The Central Valley & Fresno's Ag Belt
Proprietary crop genetics, water-rights negotiations, and export contracts across the Central Valley's almond, pistachio, and produce operations give agribusiness executives real reasons to sweep offices and packing facilities.

What people are saying
Three decades of high-stakes cases — in the words of the people we protected.
Thanks, Michael, for discovering an illegal hook-switch bypass in our conference room — a bug that cost us billions. Even when the company couldn't be saved, it kept Lorenzo out of the airline industry for good.
Peros uncovered over 65,000 illegal intercepts. That evidence led to the case being thrown out — and earned praise from the U.S. Inspector General's Chief Investigator.
Michael Peros, our White Knight, saved us from malicious prosecution when we were wrongly charged with our child's murder. Exposing the illegal microphone hidden in our bedroom was key to prevailing — all charges dropped.
Michael saved me $3M in legal fees and protected 12 other defendants. He uncovered illegal wiretaps and a hidden “Brady Bug” in my office — what's considered the largest illegal wiretapping case in U.S. history.
Michael found a TK-400 Japanese audio bug hidden behind my desk. He saved my billion-dollar company — the greatest TSCM counter-surveillance engineer there is.
Thank you, Michael Peros, for saving my professional horse track from financial disaster by exposing 13 illegal wiretaps on the phones.
