Counter-Surveillance | Bug Sweeping | Eavesdropping Experts Bochum

Even decades after the end of the Cold War, listening devices, commonly known as “bugs”, are still being installed in private homes, offices, production facilities and even in vehicles. Detecting them, removing them and tracing them back to their origin is the task of our IHK-certified investigators and counter-surveillance experts in Bochum: +49 234 3075 0073.

The Competition Never Sleeps, …

… it listens. If a competitor has managed to install listening devices in your company, they can effectively sit back and simply wait to see what information you unwittingly provide. Due to their ever-decreasing size, listening devices can be concealed almost anywhere, for example in skirting boards, ceiling lights, radiators and much more. Accordingly, it can take years before you discover the devices. By then, your competitor will long since have exploited your internal company information and will likely have caused you irreparable damage.

 

In all probability, it will not be the managing director of the spying competitor who personally comes to your company to install listening devices. The approach used in eavesdropping attacks is usually far more subtle: an employee of your company, possibly even one who has worked there for many years, is bribed by the competitor and, in their position as an internal staff member, discreetly installs illegal listening equipment. Other installation routes arise through the active infiltration of industrial spies into the target company or through the instrumentalisation of third parties who gain access to the company premises, such as cleaning companies, caretaker services, plumbers, subcontractors and similar. In the event of an initial suspicion and corresponding engagement of our counter-surveillance specialists in Bochum, we meticulously examine the suspected premises centimetre by centimetre in order to locate any existing surveillance technology with near one hundred per cent certainty. In cooperation with the experienced Bochum corporate investigators of Kurtz Detective Agency Bochum, our counter-surveillance experts also investigate the origin, that is to say the perpetrator. If the perpetrators are successfully identified, we provide court-admissible documentation of evidence. Please use our contact form for your enquiry or give us a call.

Everyone has their price, as the saying goes. Would you really swear that the tradesman who installed the wall cladding in your office was not bribed by the competition to install listening devices at the same time?

Bug Sweeping Specialists For Legal and Natural Persons

Locating and removing listening devices involves a very high level of technical effort, for which the necessary equipment must be purchased and maintained. In addition, only a small number of people in Germany possess the expertise to operate these devices correctly and to carry out a professional counter-surveillance inspection. Accordingly, the deployment of counter-surveillance experts is associated with comparatively high costs. We would be pleased to provide you with an individual quotation.

 

After detected listening devices have been removed, our specialists are of course also available to protect you against possible further eavesdropping attacks. Possible protective measures include, among other things, the installation of at least one secure room within the company that should be used for confidential discussions. A thorough review of your employees could also yield surprising results, after all around half of all corporate offences are committed by employees, and indeed against their own employers.

 

Not infrequently we are also contacted by private individuals who express a suspicion that they are being monitored. This may be a spouse who wishes to assure themselves of fidelity during their absence, or a curious neighbour who used a visit to install a bug, a stalker who gained unauthorised access to your home, and, as should finally be clear to everyone since the NSA affair, national as well as international intelligence services. Naturally, we work not only for companies but equally for natural persons and advise them comprehensively and without obligation.
