How can I add TSCM protection without increasing
my security budget?
The money is probably there; just misallocated.
Many security budgets are lopsided.
Security budgets morph out of shape over time. Pressure to protect easily seen physical assets, and over-spending on IT security are common causes.
Avoid a situation where 80% of your budget winds up protecting 20% of your assets.
Intellectual assets are more valuable than physical assets. Evaluate what makes your organization valuable. Adjust.
Don't over-protect low-value assets. Make your security dollars work.
Protecting intellectual property is profitable.
Tip: For the cost of your lowest paid security guard, you could have a basic Counterespionage Strategy with quarterly eavesdropping detection audits.
