Privacy and security in the hospitality sector

Hotels are structurally vulnerable to privacy risks and security breaches. From hidden cameras in rooms to keycard fraud and unauthorised access — the threats are real and the consequences severe. SAJ Recherche provides the hospitality sector with operational security services: we test, inspect and report. Certification of your hotel is handled by Privacy Shield Group.

Our services for the hospitality sector

Safety Assessment

Comprehensive security analysis of your hotel: physical access, camera positions, Wi-Fi networks, key systems and operational processes. You receive a clear report with risk classification and actionable recommendations.

Hidden camera detection

Professional TSCM sweeps of hotel rooms, suites, meeting rooms and public areas. Using RF detection, non-linear junction detection and thermal analysis, we locate hidden cameras, microphones and unauthorised equipment.

Keycard fraud testing

We test the vulnerability of your keycard systems to cloning, unauthorised access and manipulation. From RFID cards to mobile keys — we identify the weak points before malicious actors do.

Red teaming & mystery guest

Our specialists enter your hotel as guests and test your security in practice. From reception to room floor: we identify vulnerabilities that only become visible by exploiting them. Often combined with a mystery guest evaluation for a complete picture.

Frequently asked questions

Will guests notice the inspection?
No. We work with complete discretion and schedule inspections outside peak hours or combine them with a mystery guest evaluation. Guests will not notice our presence.
How often should a hotel be inspected?
We recommend at least twice a year, plus after major events or incidents. Hotels with a high-risk profile (VIP guests, conferences) benefit from quarterly inspections.
What if a hidden camera is found?
We secure the device as evidence, document the situation and advise on reporting to police, communication with the guest and legal steps.
Who issues the certification?
Certification is issued by Privacy Shield Group (privacyshieldgroup.com). SAJ Recherche carries out the inspections and assessments that form the basis of the certification.
What is red teaming / mystery guest?
In red teaming, our specialists enter your hotel as guests and test security in practice — from reception to room floor. Combined with a mystery guest evaluation, this provides a complete picture of vulnerabilities.
What does a hospitality security assessment cost?
Costs depend on the type of accommodation, the number of rooms and the desired services. After an intake meeting you receive a transparent quote.
