Have you ever experienced the contents of confidential conversations suddenly becoming the subject of workplace gossip? Or found that a competitor possesses insider knowledge from your company? Or that people in your personal circle know details from discussions held in your own home? Then you may well be the victim of an eavesdropping attack.
For detecting listening devices and securing your premises against surveillance technology (counter-espionage) our experienced eavesdropping protection specialists in Bielefeld are at your disposal: +49 521 2567 0055.
The above proverb applies both in private and business settings to offenders whom our eavesdropping specialists have already exposed. In private life, a bugging attack often serves to satisfy curiosity — for instance that of a neighbour — or to "monitor" a spouse suspected of infidelity. However, many of our clients also suspect surveillance by state authorities or former employers. In companies, eavesdropping devices primarily aim to obtain valuable internal business information. Because of their ever-decreasing size and steadily improving battery life, bugs can be concealed in the smallest of gaps, such as skirting boards and floor joints; everyday objects such as lamps, smoke detectors and similar items are also suitable containers.
But how do these so-called "bugs", mini-microphones or even video-transmission devices, find their way into company premises? On the one hand through external visitors who seize the opportunity during an unobserved moment, or even commit a break-in to install the devices. On the other hand through the company’s own employees, who may use internal information for themselves or – in exchange for a "small fee" – pass it on to competitors, or install the eavesdropping equipment on their behalf. Eventually, you are astonished to find that your competitor has registered your development in their name at the patent office or brings your product to market earlier and more cheaply. You suffer not only the financial loss but also reputational damage when it becomes known that sensitive data such as customer, supplier, development or production information are not secure in your company. It is part of the services offered by our IHK-certified commercial detectives in Bielefeld to locate illegally installed eavesdropping devices and to provide legally valid evidence of such dishonest practices. In the event of damage, send us an e-mail at kontakt@kurtz-detektei-bielefeld.de or call us.
To detect eavesdropping equipment installed in your company, a meticulous inspection of the premises is essential. Our counter-espionage experts in Bielefeld examine every square centimetre of your rooms: floors, ceilings, walls, furniture – everything. By applying various signal-detection methods, no microphone, however small, escapes them, regardless of whether the device is switched on or off. These measures ensure that no unauthorised party listens in on your conversations to use them for their own benefit or against you.
In many cases, our qualified eavesdropping specialists in Bielefeld are also able to identify the originator of the surveillance and provide legally admissible proof. To prevent the unauthorised disclosure of company secrets, a professional counter-espionage sweep should be carried out as soon as the slightest suspicion arises. Our experts are also happy to advise you on securing your company premises against future eavesdropping devices. Use our contact form or call us without obligation at +49 521 2567 0055.
