Counter-Surveillance | Bugging Protection Essen | Bugging Security Experts

By resolution of the German Bundestag on 16 January 1998, acoustic surveillance became legal in Germany. Since then, law enforcement authorities have been authorised to install covert listening devices in your flat, house or business premises.

 

However, this is not the only threat. Other states conduct industrial espionage within your company, rapidly acquiring technologies and know-how for which you have researched for years. Competitors engage in aggressive industrial espionage. Bugs are installed and micro-cameras deployed.

 

The experienced specialists of Kurtz Detective Agency Essen carry out 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 are pleased to assist you with advice and practical support in improving your defensive mechanisms.

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

As professional counter-surveillance involves considerable technical effort, our usual fee calculations do not apply in this area.

 

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%.
