Detection of Corporate Data Misuse

Investigating the misuse of company data is a broad and complex field, as perpetrators act with diverse motives and highly variable methods.

Once Reputation Is Ruined … – Unlimited Damage Potential

For entrepreneurs, there are few scenarios worse than the loss of corporate data and consequently trade secrets. National and international competitors are eager for products and design plans painstakingly developed by German companies over many years, as well as supplier and customer data, cost calculations, material information, and more. If such data falls into competitors’ hands, it usually results in significant financial harm due to competitive disadvantages or extortion opportunities (data attacks are not necessarily carried out by competitors or intelligence agencies; often, third parties use the stolen data as leverage for blackmail). Furthermore, public knowledge of missing sensitive personal data, such as customer information, can cause significant, possibly irreparable reputational damage.

 

To acquire corporate data, perpetrators can employ a wide range of methods: malware in email attachments or embedded links, bugging devices in company premises or on mobile devices like smartphones and even vehicles, bribery of employees, USB sticks infected with spyware disguised as promotional gifts – criminal ingenuity grows alongside the technological options provided by digitalisation, which continues to expand the attack surface. Our qualified detectives for Ludwigshafen, Mannheim, and the entire Rhine-Neckar region assist in limiting damages through the following measures:

 

• Identification of the espionage method(s) used and the corresponding security vulnerabilities,
• Closure of information leakage channels,
• Identification of the perpetrators.

 

The Kurtz Corporate Detective Agency Mannheim will gladly advise you on our wide range of investigative methods for corporate data misuse. Please send an email to kontakt@kurtz-detektei-mannheim.de or call us for a non-binding consultation at +49 621 9535 4001.

Investigation of Internal and External Perpetrators

If you discover malware on your company computers, a comprehensive IT check is urgently needed before large volumes of data are stolen, manipulated, or destroyed. Our trained IT specialists from Mannheim are not only able to detect and remove harmful files, but in most cases can also recover lost data and trace the perpetrator via data movement analysis. If company secrets are suspected to be leaking through eavesdropping, our experienced surveillance experts can inspect sensitive operational areas to detect and remove any installed spy equipment.

 

If an employee is involved in data misuse – whether bribed by a competitor, acting for personal gain, or deliberately harming their employer – it is also possible to have the perpetrator observed by an undercover detective posing as a new employee. Fees for these investigative methods vary significantly and may not correspond to our standard detective rates. Please contact us for a non-binding consultation to determine the best strategy and receive a cost estimate. In any case, you will receive a legally admissible report at the conclusion of our work.
