Which of the following is NOT one of the steps in completing a countermeasure sweep?

  1. Locating compromised cell phones

  2. Conducting a background check on staff

  3. Discovering tracking devices

  4. Intercepting wire communications

The correct answer is: Conducting a background check on staff

The step that is not part of completing a countermeasure sweep is conducting a background check on staff. A countermeasure sweep is primarily focused on identifying and neutralizing potential surveillance threats and privacy violations, which typically involve locating compromised devices, discovering tracking devices, and intercepting communications that may compromise security. While conducting background checks on staff can be a part of a broader security protocol, it does not directly relate to the immediate tasks involved in a countermeasure sweep. The primary goal of such a sweep is to detect unauthorized surveillance or monitoring measures, rather than assessing the trustworthiness or integrity of personnel involved.
