About Marty vander Vliet
I’m a former FBI Special Agent with 26 years of experience conducting complex surveillance, undercover, and counterintelligence operations throughout the U.S. and overseas. Today, I help businesses, executives, attorneys, and high-net-worth individuals detect and defeat technical surveillance threats—ranging from illicit audio/video bugs to hidden GPS trackers—through my firm, Northport Security, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I hold a Juris Doctor (JD), am a Board-Certified CPP (Certified Protection Professional), and have conducted hundreds of TSCM sweeps across corporate offices, aircraft, vehicles, and sensitive facilities. My background includes SWAT deployments, high-stakes federal investigations, and training in the FBI’s elite electronics and countermeasures programs. I’ve testified in court, advised clients under litigation, and delivered expert briefings to Fortune 500s, law firms, and security teams. Learn more at: northportsecurity.com
