Risk Assessments
		Security Consulting, Surveys and Audits
		Technical Services Countermeasures (De-Bugging)
		VIP Protection

In several recent Asia-wide business surveys, business interruption and disaster recovery, as well as political unrest and threats from various terrorist and insurgent groups, were all listed as major concerns for Western businesses operating in Asia. 

Since 1984, senior management within OSI has conducted many risk assessments and security surveys throughout the Philippines, both for the U.S. government and major international corporations, to include within the high risk areas of the Southern Philippines. Such efforts have included the development of in-depth risk assessments with focus on such factors as the influence of the Communist Party of the Philippines, New People’s Army, MNLF, MILF and Jemaah Islamiya (JI)/Abu Sayaaf’s activities and interests in the area concerned.

OSI’s senior management personnel have over 45 years of combined experience conducting risk assessments and security surveys throughout the Philippines, to include in the security consulting discipline of VIP protection.

Another major area of concern for Western businesses operating in Asia is corporate espionage. Many companies are unaware that industrial spying could affect their businesses. One of the techniques used in business espionage is the use of electronic eavesdropping devices and wiretaps. Such devices are easily obtained within Asia and can cost as little as several U.S. dollars each.

OSI utilizes state-of-the-art Technical Services Countermeasures (TSCM) resources to conduct periodic sweeps of business offices and residences; as well as for the monitoring of important meetings to insure that the environment is secure. OSI uses the OSCOR-5000 (Omni Spectral Correlator), the most advanced Technical Counter surveillance detection system on the market today. It is designed to detect all major types of audio and video transmitters, including RF, carrier current and infrared.

Additionally, their TSCM manager was trained by the U.S. government in 1981, and served as a Special Agent within the Technical Services Division of OSI and then the U.S. Department of Energy, focusing specifically on TSCM surveys until his retirement in 1997. In that capacity, he conducted hundreds of TSCM sweeps within government facilities, to include U.S. Embassies, worldwide. He has found clandestine listening devices in the past, to include within Philippine-based businesses.
