Redbeard Intelligence and Investigations provides professional TSCM bug sweeps and electronic surveillance detection for executives, attorneys, business owners, and private individuals in Tampa, Florida. As a licensed Florida agency — — with statewide and nationwide reach, we help Tampa Bay clients confirm whether an office, boardroom, residence, vehicle, or device has been compromised, then restore confidence that private conversations stay private.
Technical Surveillance Countermeasures, often called bug sweeps, combine physical inspection, radio-frequency analysis, and technical testing to locate covert eavesdropping devices. In and around Tampa, our work is tailored to the corporate, legal, and executive concerns that define this market. A sweep is not a single gadget waved around a room; it is a disciplined, methodical process carried out by trained investigators.
For offices in the Westshore business district, downtown Tampa, and surrounding commercial parks, timed around sensitive meetings and negotiations.
For leaders who want assurance that private strategy and personal conversations are not being monitored.
In conference rooms, private offices, hotel suites, and short-term rentals.
For company fleets and personal vehicles, a frequent request during contentious business or personal disputes.
For signs of surveillance software, unauthorized remote access, or compromised communications.
Securing a space before confidential discussions, depositions, or mediation.
Tampa is the seat of Hillsborough County and the anchor of the wider Tampa Bay region. Our TSCM teams serve the full metro, not just the city core. That includes Hillsborough communities such as Brandon, Riverview, Plant City, Temple Terrace, Ybor City, and the Westshore and downtown business corridors.
Because so much of Tampa Bay commerce moves across county lines, we also work throughout Pinellas County — including St. Petersburg and Clearwater — as well as fast-growing areas in Pasco County to the north. Whether your concern is a high-rise office near the port, a healthcare or logistics facility, or a private home in a gated community, we can reach the location and complete a thorough sweep.
Redbeard maintains offices in Orlando and Naples, both within convenient reach of Tampa Bay, and we routinely travel to Hillsborough and Pinellas counties for on-site work. There is no need to bring sensitive equipment or paperwork to us; our investigators come to you.
Every engagement begins with a confidential remote intake by phone or secure email, so you can describe the situation without anyone at your office or home knowing a sweep is being considered. We then schedule the on-site work discreetly, frequently after hours or on weekends, and coordinate arrival to avoid drawing attention. For urgent matters — a suspected leak before a critical meeting, for example — we prioritize rapid response across the Tampa Bay area.

When a device is found, we handle it in a way that preserves your options, whether that means quiet removal, evidence preservation, or coordination with your legal counsel.

Clients across Tampa Bay choose Redbeard because we bring a calm, credible, and discreet approach to what is often a stressful situation.

Our investigators are Florida licensed, methodical, and experienced at working without disrupting your day-to-day operations or tipping off the people you may be concerned about. Just as important, we communicate plainly: you receive a clear account of what was inspected, what was found, and what we recommend, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Tampa clients who request TSCM bug sweeps often pair them with our other capabilities. Related Redbeard services include corporate investigations, executive protection, digital forensics and cyber investigations, background investigations, and surveillance.
