Sweeping & Monitoring Service
The illegal procurement of information and the associated countermeasures have been a major issue for a long time. We, Max C. Meister AG and APTUS Systems GmbH, have therefore decided to pool our knowledge, experience, and equipment to support and protect our customers with the appropriate services.

Companies, organizations, and private individuals have always been spied on for various reasons. Technical innovations and their widespread availability make the illegal acquisition of information easier. Through “sweeping,” premises and vehicles can be checked for illegally installed technical devices (e.g., eavesdropping devices, video recording equipment, etc.).
We have a well-coordinated and experienced team and the necessary technical equipment, enabling us to inspect your sensitive premises and, if necessary, vehicles, anytime and anywhere.
In short, a sweeping operation carried out by us includes the following measures:
- Systematic physical search of the premises in question
- Inspection of existing installations
- Videoscopic inspection of cavities
- Search for electronic components using non-linear junction detectors (NLJD)
- X-ray screening of small objects (e.g., telephones, keyboards, etc.) using mobile X-ray cabinets
- X-ray inspection of large objects (e.g., furniture, paintings, art objects, etc.)
- High-frequency analysis of the entire frequency range using spectrum analyzers
- Localization of high-frequency signal transmitters
- Sealing of technical devices (e.g., telephones, etc.)
- Reporting with any recommendations

The “sweeping” discussed in the first tab provides a snapshot in time. We therefore recommend ensuring that, following a sweep, no illegal technical installations can be surreptitiously installed by unauthorized persons in the future.
This is why we offer monitoring. Monitoring devices are installed in the relevant premises to continuously monitor the rooms 24/7. Device measurements can be accessed on-site or via remote access. With the installation described above, you are able to query ongoing analyses and make an appropriate assessment. In case of suspicion, an immediate investigation can be commissioned.
We recommend monitoring for the continuous surveillance of sensitive premises after a sweep, or for monitoring confidential meetings, conferences, and sessions, regardless of where they are held.
We advise you across the broad field of countermeasures related to illegally installed surveillance devices. Our experienced specialists address your individual needs and are fully aware of the associated sensitivity and responsibility.
The relevant services can be summarized as follows:
- Assessment of the initial situation and specific needs (technical surveillance countermeasures, eavesdropping protection, covert video installations, other risks)
- Vulnerability and risk analysis
- Provision of recommendations regarding potential countermeasures (conceptual, organizational, technical, etc.)
- Support during the implementation of the agreed measures or installations
- Regular review of implemented measures or installations, with recommendations for adjustments if necessary
- Education, training, and coaching of personnel
- Conducting penetration tests
Technical equipment should always be state-of-the-art. Acquiring such equipment is expensive, and its operation requires knowledge and experience. If needed, we rent out our equipment to you. If desired, we can provide training on how to use the respective devices.
The following equipment is available for rent, among others:
- RF detectors
- Non-linear junction detectors (NLJD)
- Spectrum analyzers
- X-ray units
- Endoscopes / special cameras
- Shielded security bags
