Bug Sweeping Hamburg | Counter-Surveillance Hamburg

Corporate and industrial espionage occurs wherever knowledge of company-internal matters can lead to financial gain or prevent losses for the spy. German companies suffer billions of euros in damages every year due to such criminal activities by business partners, other states and competitors. As a layperson, it is almost impossible to determine whether someone has "bugged" your company premises – and above all, who did it. Any field employee of a supplier, any customer, even the postman could be the perpetrator. There might be a listening device at reception, another in your office, yet another in the conference room – depending on where the visitor is taken. Even in the washrooms, tiny microphones and other technical surveillance devices are concealed. Only very primitively installed and technically outdated devices can be detected with the naked eye.

 

At the Kurtz Corporate Detective Agency Hamburg, we can detect even the tiniest bugs using our available high-tech solutions: +49 40 2320 5053.

Centimetre-Accurate Room Analysis

By parliamentary resolution of 16 January 1998, eavesdropping is legal in Germany. Law enforcement authorities have since been entitled to install surveillance technology secretly in your apartment, house or business premises. But that is not all. Other states conduct industrial espionage in your company, acquiring technologies and know-how on which you have spent years of research in no time. Competitor companies aggressively carry out industrial spying. Bugs are installed, microcameras are used.

 

The experienced specialists of the Kurtz Detective Agency Hamburg conduct a precise analysis of your premises – centimetre by centimetre. We put an end to unfair competition. After completing our analysis and removing all unwanted surveillance equipment, we are happy to advise and assist you in improving your counter-surveillance measures.

Costs of Professional Counter-Surveillance in Hamburg

As professional bug sweeping involves considerable technical effort, our usual fee schedules do not apply here.

 

Professional Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures (TSCM) is a highly complex technical activity that requires extensive expertise and considerable financial investment in purchasing and maintaining the necessary equipment. The acquisition costs for the technical equipment used by a fully equipped counter-surveillance team are in the six-figure range. Across the entire DACH region, only around a handful of professional TSCM teams remain that operate to a standard comparable with that of public authorities. As a result, booking lead times are generally several weeks, and the costs of engaging such services are higher than commonly assumed.

 

Examples of fees as cost guidance for our technical surveillance counter-measures examinations:

 

  • comprehensive TSCM examination of a motor vehicle, including software: from €3,800.00
  • comprehensive TSCM examination of residential and commercial premises: from €4,000.00
  • reduced TSCM (private-client standard)  of a motor vehicle: €2,000.00
  • reduced TSCM (private-client standard) of residential/commercial premises: from €2,200.00

 

For domestic assignments, the advance payment is 70% of the total costs, and for assignments abroad, it is 100%.
