Since 16 January 1998, German law enforcement authorities have been permitted to install covert surveillance devices in your business premises and private living areas – and entirely legally. Acoustic surveillance is often used synonymously with the Stasi. However, the situation in reunified Germany has not improved significantly in this respect.
Of course, the danger does not stem solely from the German state. Industrial espionage by competitors, economic espionage by other nations: micro-cameras are concealed and listening bugs are installed. The intellectual property of your company is not safe.
This is why the old hands in the field of surveillance technology carry out a precision analysis of your premises – square centimetre by square centimetre. Kurtz Investigations Halle puts an end to unfair competition. After completing our analysis and removing all unwanted surveillance technology, we are happy to provide advice and practical assistance to help you improve your defensive mechanisms.

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:
For domestic assignments, the advance payment is 70% of the total costs, and for assignments abroad, it is 100%.
