- SIGNS THAT WARRANT A SWEEP
You may not know for certain. That is exactly the point.
Modern surveillance devices are small, cheap, and designed to be invisible. Most people who are being monitored have no definitive proof — just a pattern of things that do not add up. Common indicators that warrant a professional sweep include:
- A business competitor who seems to know confidential information they should not have
- Conversations held privately that appear to be known by a third party
- A former partner who knows your movements and whereabouts in unusual detail
- Unexplained interference on phones or audio equipment within a specific space
- Unfamiliar objects in unusual locations within your home, office, or vehicle
- Involvement in a high-stakes legal, commercial, or personal dispute where monitoring would benefit another party
- A general sense that your private communications are not as private as they should be
- WHAT WE DETECT
The full range of current surveillance threats.
Consumer detection equipment misses most of what professionals find. RIVICA uses professional-grade TSCM equipment covering the full range of current surveillance technology:
- Audio listening devices: hardwired and battery-operated
- GSM and cellular-transmitting bugs that send recordings remotely
- RF transmitters operating across standard and non-standard frequencies
- Hidden cameras and covert video recording devices
- GPS tracking devices on vehicles and personal property
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-enabled surveillance devices
- Devices concealed within everyday objects including power adaptors, smoke detectors, clocks, and chargers
- Compromised telecommunications infrastructure within premises

Why Clients Choose RIVICA
Investigators, not just technicians.
RIVICA’s team brings investigative experience to every sweep. Understanding why a space might be targeted, how a device was likely placed, and what the broader context of the threat means is what separates a thorough professional sweep from a basic equipment scan.
Operational expertise on both sides of covert surveillance.
Our team’s background includes deploying and detecting covert surveillance across law enforcement and government operations. That dual expertise means we know not just what to look for, but how people conceal what they do not want found.
Professional-grade detection equipment.
We use current-generation, calibrated TSCM equipment across the full frequency spectrum. Consumer-grade detectors are not used.
Complete operational discretion.
If someone has installed a device in your space, the last thing you want is for them to know you are looking. Every RIVICA sweep is conducted with strict operational security from scheduling through to reporting.
Clear, documented reporting.
Whether the sweep finds something or confirms a clean environment, you receive a written report documenting the scope, methodology, and outcome. That documentation has value for legal proceedings, insurance, board reporting, and your own records.
Fast deployment.
RIVICA can typically mobilise within 24 to 48 hours of engagement, including outside business hours where required.
0% subcontracting.
Your sweep is conducted by our team under direct senior oversight. We do not outsource this work to third-party operators.
Case Studies
Executive Device Security Audit
A senior executive at a Melbourne company had concerns that their personal mobile phone and laptop had been accessed or compromised. Confidential communications appeared to have been leaked and the executive needed to know whether personal devices had been targeted.
RIVICA conducted a comprehensive device security audit covering physical inspection for hardware implants and an examination of devices for indicators of unauthorised access or compromise. The matter was handled with complete confidentiality given the executive’s profile and the commercial implications.
The audit identified indicators of potential compromise on one device. A full documented findings report was provided with recommended next steps for the executive’s legal and IT security teams. The client praised the team’s thoroughness, discretion, and knowledge throughout the process.
Listening Device Found in Residential Property
A Melbourne resident had growing suspicions that a listening device had been installed in their home. Conversations held privately were appearing to be known by a third party with no other means of accessing that information. The situation was causing significant distress.
RIVICA scheduled and conducted a full residential sweep, systematically examining all rooms, fixtures, fittings, appliances, and infrastructure using professional detection equipment. The process was explained clearly to the client at every stage.
A covert audio recording device was located concealed within a common household item. The device was preserved as evidence and the client received a full documented report of findings along with advice on their legal options. The client described the peace of mind delivered as invaluable and praised the calm, professional approach throughout a highly stressful situation.
GPS Tracking Device Located Following Relationship Breakdown
A Melbourne client had recently separated from a controlling partner and had growing concerns that a GPS tracking device had been installed on their vehicle. Their former partner appeared to know their movements in detail despite having no legitimate means of doing so.
RIVICA conducted a thorough vehicle sweep, systematically checking all common and concealed locations where a tracking device could be magnetically attached or hardwired to the vehicle. Communication with the client throughout was calm and empathetic given the personal nature of the situation.
A GPS tracking device was located concealed beneath the vehicle. The client was advised on evidence preservation and their legal options under Victorian surveillance device laws. The client described the outcome as putting their mind at ease and praised the team’s sensitivity and professionalism throughout.
Corporate Office Confirmed Clean Before Commercial Negotiations
A Melbourne business preparing for significant commercial negotiations had growing concerns that commercially sensitive information discussed in their boardroom was reaching outside parties. They needed certainty before negotiations commenced and a documented result to present to their board.
The sweep was conducted after hours to ensure complete discretion. RIVICA conducted a full technical sweep of the boardroom and adjacent meeting spaces using professional-grade detection equipment, systematically examining all surfaces, fixtures, fittings, furniture, and infrastructure. A thorough written report documenting scope and outcome was prepared.
The premises were confirmed clean. The business proceeded with negotiations with full confidence in the security of their communications. The client described the process as professional, thorough, and exactly what the situation required.
