Eavesdropping protection & counter-surveillance (sweeping)
Security for privacy and trade secrets
Illegal surveillance can destroy lives. If you suspect that confidential information is being leaked or that you are being monitored, we will restore your security.
Under the direction of a former police officer, MA, and by ex-government specialists, we conduct professional counter-surveillance investigations (TSCM). We detect bugs and cameras – in the Vienna, St. Pölten, and Linz area.
Our services in counter-surveillance
We search your premises, vehicles and communication devices with state-of-the-art measuring equipment and forensic precision for analog and digital espionage devices:
1. Physical & Electronic Room Inspection (Buildings & Offices)
We inspect conference rooms, executive offices, private residences, or sensitive security areas:
-
High-frequency analysis: Detection of active and passive transmitters, radio bugs, WLAN and mobile phone spying devices (GSM/5G).
-
Infrared & thermography measurement: Locating hidden microphones and cameras based on their minimal heat generation – even when they are switched off.
-
Cable and line testing: Measurement-based examination of sockets, cable ducts and telephone systems for illegal branches.
2. Vehicle inspections (vehicle sweeping)
Company cars and private vehicles are primary targets for trackers and bugs, as confidential phone calls are often made in them:
-
GPS tracker localization: Detecting hidden tracking devices and GPS locators on the underbody, in the engine compartment or in the interior.
-
Audio surveillance protection: Search for hidden microphones and voice recording devices in the passenger compartment.
3. Digital Forensics & IT Eavesdropping Protection
Traditional bugs are increasingly being replaced by sophisticated digital espionage programs. Working closely with our certified IT cybersecurity partners, we secure your digital infrastructure in the Vienna – St. Pölten – Linz area. For you, this means maximum technological expertise through a single, former government contact person.
-
Smartphone & Tablet Forensics: In-depth examination of mobile devices for sophisticated spyware, Trojans and unauthorized data leaks.
-
Endpoint & Server Investigations: Forensic on-site analysis of laptops, PC hardware and central servers for physical tampering (keyloggers).
-
Network & WLAN security analysis: Detection of illegal, counterfeit routers (rogue access points) and unauthorized remote access in the company network.
Rules of conduct in case of suspected espionage

❌ Do not use infected devices: Do not email or WhatsApp us from your primary smartphone or PC.
To contact us safely: Use a public telephone, a newly purchased prepaid mobile phone, or contact us from the premises of an uninvolved third party.
