Detective Investigations in Industrial Espionage

Economic crime is a cross-industry, persistent component of business life. It causes the comparatively highest financial damage of all types of offences investigated by our Hamburg detectives. Economic crimes are often difficult for law enforcement to track because many offences require a formal complaint, which is only pursued at the instigation of a complainant (usually the victim). Since utmost discretion is especially necessary in cases of corporate and industrial espionage, the authorities often do not provide a suitable alternative for resolving such cases. Accordingly, the detectives of Kurtz Corporate Detective Agency Hamburg are happy to assist you confidentially in proving industrial espionage and identifying the perpetrators: +49 40 2320 5053.

Variety of Methods in Industrial Espionage Increases Risk Factors

As an entrepreneur – particularly a successful one – you are constantly exposed to the risk of corporate espionage. There are many possibilities: spyware sent to your computers via e-mail, eavesdropping devices in your office and production areas, overly "talkative" employees – to name just a few. Initially unnoticed by you, your company’s confidential information may reach competitors. Only when the competitor consistently outperforms you will doubts arise. That is when it is crucial to contact our Hamburg corporate investigators: kontakt@kurtz-detektei-hamburg.de.

Industrial espionage and the disclosure of company secrets to competitors can be financially lucrative and pose a strong temptation for morally questionable employees.
