About us: BlackSweep and how we work

BlackSweep is a private electronic counter-surveillance operation, also known as TSCM (Technical Surveillance Countermeasures): techniques to detect and neutralize surveillance technologies that allow unauthorized access to information[1]. We exclusively serve high-net-worth individuals and companies, in Brazil and abroad, by private appointment.

What we do

We inspect environments, vehicles and devices for bugs, hidden cameras, trackers and spyware, and deliver a private report, a technical report and a hardening plan. Our services:

What we do not do

  • We do not intercept third-party communications or install listening or monitoring devices. In Brazil, intercepting communications or carrying out ambient bugging without a court order is a crime, punishable by 2 to 4 years of imprisonment and a fine[2].
  • We do not install spy apps. Breaking into someone else’s device is also a crime in Brazil[3].
  • We do not disclose clients, cases or locations served.

Why we do not disclose clients or team names

Confidentiality is the service itself. People who hire a sweep usually do not want anyone to know they did. That is why this site has no testimonials, client logos or team photos, and why content is signed collectively. What we publish instead can be verified: sources, open data and method.

Authorship and editorial policy

Content on this site is signed by the BlackSweep team and follows these rules:

  • Every article shows its publication date and the date of its last real update.
  • Figures, laws and specific technical claims only appear with an identified source, listed at the end of the text with a link to the original.
  • We do not publish client stories or statistics without a verifiable origin.
  • Our own studies include method, limitations and the dataset for checking.
  • Content about laws is informational and does not replace advice from a lawyer.
