What ComSec does

ComSec LLC is a privately held Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) and Cyber TSCM firm headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia, founded in 2007 by J.D. LeaSure. The company detects, locates, and neutralizes electronic eavesdropping devices and cyber surveillance threats for government, military, Fortune 500/100 corporations, defense contractors, and high-net-worth individuals, operating both in the United States and internationally across more than 62 countries. Its core offering combines traditional RF sweeps (spectrum analysis, non-linear junction detection, thermal imaging) with Cyber TSCM capabilities covering Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular network vulnerabilities, IMSI catcher detection (via exclusive USA rights to the Phantom BTS Hunter), spyware/malware detection, GPS tracker location, and hybrid device identification. ComSec pioneered the Cyber TSCM discipline in 2012 and claims the first documented discovery of a nation-state attack using GSM cellular networks to steal corporate intellectual property.

The company's technology stack is anchored by exclusive North American and USA distribution rights to a portfolio of TSCM brands — Kestrel TSCM Professional Software (since 2015), JJN Digital handheld equipment (2019), QCC Sentinel and Phantom BTS Hunter (2021), Komcept Solutions (2023), and OverWatch IMSI detection (2017) — augmented by proprietary ComSec Shadow real-time spectrum analyzers (2024), the MEFF M2-PRO AI-enhanced analyzer and MEFF M3-PRO malware scanner (2026), and bundled field kits (Operator, GrayMan, COVERT, Storm SIGINT). Service delivery is high-touch and on-site, with 24-48 hour deployment and 5-business-day electronic survey reports; pricing is custom-quoted based on facility size, geography, and scope.

ComSec generates revenue through three streams: (1) professional TSCM/Cyber TSCM services priced per engagement (corporate sweeps ranging from C-Suite wings to 200,000+ sq. ft. facilities, residential sweeps from executive apartments to 30,000+ sq. ft. estates, meeting/hotel sweeps, aircraft inspections, cell phone forensics); (2) equipment sales to government, military, law enforcement, TSCM practitioners, and corporate clients, with disclosed annual kit sales above $2.2 million and a single order in excess of $1.3 million in 2018; and (3) exclusive distribution markups on partner product lines. Distribution is direct field sales with phone/quote-based engagement, supported by content marketing, industry conference presence (SOFIC, AOC, ERII), and an extensive client testimonial program. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed outside funding and operates with a small team of cleared, credentialed specialists.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Kroll: Risk consulting and investigations firm offering cyber risk, investigations, and security advisory services. Comparable due to its enterprise investigations practice, including digital forensics and counter-espionage-adjacent work for large corporations and governments, though it operates across a much wider service portfolio.
• Stroz Friedberg (Aon): Digital forensics, e-discovery, and cyber risk firm now part of Aon. Comparable due to its digital forensics and investigations practice serving large enterprises and law firms, overlapping with ComSec's forensics and corporate TSCM buyers.
• Cellebrite: Public mobile forensics and digital intelligence vendor providing cell phone forensics tools and services to law enforcement, government, and enterprise. Comparable because ComSec uses Cellebrite technology for its cell phone forensics service line and addresses overlapping endpoint forensics buyers.
• Pinkerton: Global corporate investigations and security services firm offering surveillance, due diligence, and protective services. Comparable because it serves many of the same Fortune 500 and high-net-worth clients that ComSec serves, although Pinkerton's TSCM work is a small part of a much broader investigations and guarding portfolio.
• Control Risks: Global risk consultancy providing political, security, and integrity risk services to multinational corporations. Comparable for serving Fortune 500 clients with security advisory, investigations, and crisis response that overlap with corporate TSCM buyer needs.

Direct peers

• Aston Scott Group: Specialist TSCM and counterespionage services firm serving corporate, government, and private clients globally. Directly comparable as another specialized bug-sweep and technical surveillance countermeasures provider competing for the same enterprise and high-net-worth clients.
• Guidepost Solutions: Security and investigations consultancy providing technical surveillance countermeasures, due diligence, and security consulting to corporate, government, and high-profile individual clients. Directly comparable as a specialized TSCM and investigations firm with similar client profiles and service mix.
• Murray Associates: Long-standing Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) specialist firm providing bug sweeps and counterespionage services to corporations, governments, and private individuals. Directly comparable as a specialized TSCM-only competitor with overlapping methodology and customer base.

Emerging players

• Jäger Group LLC: Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business providing training, foreign language services, and IT/cyber security to DoD, NATO, and private industry. Comparable as a minor partner with adjacent DoD/cyber capabilities relevant to ComSec's government customer base.
• SpearTip: Cyber intelligence and counterespionage firm offering proactive threat response and digital forensics. Comparable as an emerging player in the counterespionage space with overlap in cyber-driven surveillance detection; already a known partner/competitor referenced in ComSec's data.
