Executives and boards: protecting boardrooms and strategic decisions

The value of strategic information peaks precisely before it becomes public. An acquisition under study, a restructuring, a pricing proposal or a change in leadership are sensitive assets while they remain restricted to the board and senior management.

Competitors, negotiating counterparts and self-interested insiders have concrete reasons to want to hear these conversations. The boardroom is where competitive advantage is exposed out loud.

Boardrooms receive visitors, contractors, IT and facilities teams, plus a turnover of devices: projectors, videoconferencing systems, remotes, smart outlets. Each connected item is a potential capture surface.

Renovations, furniture changes and electronic gifts are classic implantation opportunities. And the smartphone on the table remains the most common microphone of all, often without its owner knowing it is compromised.

We inspect boardrooms, executive offices and decision environments with spectrum analysis using the Rohde & Schwarz FSH8 and Aaronia SPECTRAN V6, NLJD scanning with the REI ORION 2.4 HX, and cabling and telephony inspection with the REI TALAN 3.0. FLIR thermal scanning complements the search for embedded devices.

For critical events, we set up a pre-meeting inspection and, when needed, spectrum monitoring during the session to detect active transmissions in real time with platforms such as the Aaronia IsoLOG 3D DF. The room is cleared and kept under control.

Beyond the one-off find, we help establish an in-meeting device policy, a sweep cadence and hardening of the physical environment and lines. Counterintelligence is not an isolated event; it is a governance routine.

We deliver a confidential report, a technical assessment when there is evidence of a crime, and a shielding plan aligned with the LGPD and the board's confidentiality duties. All with absolute discretion, without exposing the company or signaling weakness to the market.
