For over 40 years, we have operated as an independent counterespionage consulting firm serving businesses, government agencies, and at-risk individuals. Our focus is assuring your environment is free from electronic surveillance, and your information stays secure.
Murray Associates—A Uniquely Different TSCM Consultancy
• One specialty… Provide clients with privacy and information security.
• Independent security recommendations… Vendor commissions or favors not accepted.

• Ethical practices… We are a signatory to the IAPSC Code of Ethics.
From bugs in your boardroom to digital information loss, trade secret theft, and other types of corporate espionage (both on and off site), today’s security threats are increasingly prevalent and harder to detect. We can mitigate all these risks for you ensuring your organization maintains its competitive advantage and remains profitable.
With today’s advanced technology, it takes experienced specialists with extensive electronic eavesdropping detection training and certifications, combined with a proven record of successes to assess threats and solve your information security and privacy concerns.
