To extend this speculation:

TechCom is a legitimate PMC (Private Military Contractor). They have a good enough corporate rep that the Sterlings did not immediately go "Get rid of the snake" when they found out what Sousuke was up to. (Well, they probably did, but they calmed down soon enough that no precipitous action was taken.)

My speculation:
As far as TechCom knows, it's a legit op. They're supposed to be protecting Kaname and neither Sousuke nor his superiors have any idea that their contractor has anything but the best of intentions for her.

That is, of course, all about to change.

Here's my thought.

Souskue goes back for his briefing, and the contractor has spun some sort of story intending to get TechCom to bring Kaname to a secure facility (perhaps an imminent abduction attempt, heh). They want her brought to a safe house they've provided...

But now Sousuke knows that they aren't operating at the Sterlings' direction. That they are not, in fact, representatives of Kaname's "real family". He manages to alert his superiors to this just in time to rescue her...

Hmm. Makes me wonder just who -is- Sousuke's boss over there. Kalinin? Mardukas?
