Vehicle Inspection
Executives negotiate, debrief and take their most candid calls in the back of a car. A car is a meeting room that parks unattended in public. No other environment you use is easier to reach.
The exposure
Vehicles combine three vulnerabilities no office tolerates: they are routinely left unattended and physically accessible; they pass through third-party hands, valets, workshops, detailers, drivers, as a matter of course; and they are dense with electronics into which a device can disappear. A magnetic GPS tracker takes seconds to place. A hardwired audio device installed during a service visit draws vehicle power indefinitely and never needs retrieval.
Tracking is rarely the end goal. Knowing where a principal travels, when, and with whom is the raw material for litigation ambush, hostile negotiation, media exposure, extortion and, in parts of the region, physical threat planning. For chauffeured fleets, the driver's own devices and the fleet's telematics platform widen the attack surface further.
What we inspect
- Executive cars and chauffeured fleet vehicles, cabin, chassis, wheel arches, bumpers and concealment voids.
- GPS and cellular tracking devices, magnetic and hardwired, including devices dormant between reporting bursts.
- Covert audio transmitters and recorders wired into vehicle power or concealed in trim and accessories.
- OBD, telematics and infotainment compromise, including aftermarket dongles and modified head units capable of cabin audio capture.
- Driver and passenger accessories: chargers, dashcams and courtesy items adapted for collection.
- Yachts and private aircraft interiors, staterooms, salons and cabin areas where in-transit meetings take place.
How it works
Inspections are conducted where the vehicle naturally rests, residence garages, corporate car parks, hangars and marinas, or at a secure location during a scheduled service, so drivers and staff need not be aware. Fleet programmes are inspected on rotation, with priority vehicles covered before sensitive movements: transaction periods, court schedules and executive travel.
Discovered trackers present a choice: removal, or a period of controlled use to establish who is monitoring and why. We preserve devices and their data trail to evidential standard, and coordinate with counsel where findings support civil or criminal action.
Timing that matches the threat.
Before sensitive periods
Transactions, proceedings and negotiations during which movements and in-car conversations gain value.
After third-party custody
Servicing, valet use, long-term parking, cross-border storage or any unexplained access to the vehicle.
On personnel change
Driver departures and replacements, particularly where the departure was contentious.
On acquisition
New, pre-owned and lease vehicles inspected before first use by the principal.
When surveillance is suspected
Adverse parties appearing at destinations, routes anticipated, or in-car conversations known externally.
On rotation
Scheduled fleet coverage under a continuous monitoring programme, aligned to the principals' calendars.
Where you go, and what you say on the way, is nobody's business.
