Surveillance
Corporate surveillance is a term that is used to describe any type of discreet monitoring of activities within a business or within the industry associated with that business. When this type of surveillance is utilized internally, the goal is usually to protect the interests of the company. This is done by using various forms of employee monitoring to make sure all policies and procedures are being followed, and that employees are conducting themselves and their use of company property in a manner that is considered ethical and legal. In situations that relate to monitoring the activities of major competitors, corporate surveillance will typically involve monitoring media outlets as well as using technology to stay abreast of any information in the public domain that relates to those competitors.
In businesses where security is extremely important, corporate surveillance may also involve the use of equipment that monitors movements through company operated facilities. This can make it possible to determine when an employee enters a restricted area and take action to correct the potential breach in security. This type of business protection is not uncommon among corporations that handle sensitive data that is only made available to employees on a need-to-know basis.
As a tool for remaining in tune with what is happening in the industry, corporate surveillance may involve monitoring the activities of direct competitors. Here, the surveillance may take the form of using software that immediately locates any new information released online that has anything to do with competitors. Engaging in this type of corporate surveillance can often provide companies with data that makes it possible to maintain market share by developing new ways to counter the efforts of the competition.
