The Challenge

A petrochemical giant in Jamnagar suspected that refined product pricing strategy and export schedules were being leaked to international traders.

The client needed a government-grade espionage detection service to secure high-level executive boardroom discussions.

2

The Problem

Refinery environments generate massive radio noise from industrial sensors, walkie-talkies, and SCADA systems, making it difficult to isolate covert transmitters.

  • Audio transmitter detection for long-range LoRa and GSM devices.
  • Threats for national and corporate energy interests.
  • Need for TSCM equipment capable of filtering extreme industrial interference.
3

The Action

Wahid Shaikh led a 48-hour Energy Shield operation to establish a quiet spectrum and compare day-time versus night-time emissions.

  • High-speed spectrum analysis using OSCOR Blue.
  • Harmonic analysis for hidden semiconductor signatures in metal-heavy spaces.
  • Telephone and line analysis using TALAN 3.0 across copper and fiber infrastructure.
4

The Findings

The team found a laser microphone reflector disguised as a tiny patch on executive dining hall window glass and a mains-powered GSM bug hidden in a wall power distribution box.

The GSM device stored a full day of audio and transmitted it in a single high-speed burst at 2:00 AM.

5

The Solution

  • Installed window vibration jammers to defeat laser microphone attacks.
  • Delivered secure encrypted VOIP solutions for board communications.
  • Implemented 24/7 RF monitoring in the executive wing.
6

Outcome

The leak was stopped and the client regained control over sensitive pricing strategy, strengthening Indiebim’s standing in critical infrastructure TSCM.
