Law-enforcement agencies have been legally permitted since 1998 to covertly install listening devices in your flat, house or business premises. If you want to be certain you are not bugged, do not call the pest controller — contact the investigators of Kurtz Investigations Düsseldorf. Our eavesdropping experts inspect your company, analyse your premises and remove any unwanted surveillance equipment. Contact us immediately if you suspect anything, because in cases of industrial espionage every day counts: +49 211 9874 0021.
Other states engage in economic espionage within your company, appropriating technologies and know-how that you have researched for years in the blink of an eye. Competing businesses carry out aggressive industrial espionage. Bugs are installed, micro-cameras employed.
The experienced specialists of Kurtz Detective Agency Düsseldorf conduct a precise analysis of your premises — square centimetre by square centimetre. We put an end to unfair competition. After completing our analysis and removing all unwanted surveillance technology, we will be pleased to assist you with practical advice on improving your countermeasures.
Under Section 201 of the German Criminal Code (StGB) the confidentiality of the spoken word is expressly protected against eavesdropping devices. Anyone who violates this provision commits a criminal offence. Nevertheless, market competitors take this risk daily to the detriment of German companies.
Because professional counter-surveillance involves substantial technical effort, our standard fee structure does 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%.
