Detection of Surveillance Devices | Counter-Surveillance

Primarily companies, but also private individuals, fall victim to eavesdropping attacks. While perpetrators in the private sphere are often found among acquaintances or neighbours, companies are usually targeted by competitors. The surveillance specialists of Kurtz Investigations Saarbrücken and Saarland detect installed listening devices and show you how to protect yourself against them: +49 681 6029 0010.

Counter-Surveillance for Businesses and Private Clients

Audio and video transmission technology can be installed almost anywhere with little visibility, for example in wall or ceiling panels, radiators, smoke detectors, ventilation shafts, skirting boards and similar locations. These devices are not recognisable to laypersons because they are concealed in everyday objects, such as light bulbs, or are adapted to their surroundings and extremely small.

 

Many companies only become aware of the issue when internal business information appears at one or more competing firms. Affected business owners often suspect disloyal behaviour by employees, which is sometimes justified, as an in-house employee may also have installed the surveillance equipment. Identifying the perpetrator is the task of our commercial detectives in Saarland. At least as important, however, is locating and removing the listening devices. In cases of suspicion, our counter-surveillance specialists inspect your business premises centimetre by centimetre and thus track down recording devices. After removal, our counter-surveillance experts are happy to assist you with their expertise in making your premises more secure against eavesdropping. The costs of our professional counter-surveillance services are charged per square metre.

Costs of Professional Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures (TSCM) Examinations

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
