Detective Agency in Stuttgart
DRS Security und Sicherheitstechnik GmbH — private investigations, IT forensics and security since 2004.
Team deployment in Stuttgart within 24 hours from Hamburg.
Stuttgart — one of Germany’s largest cities. It is home to a business centre, company headquarters and a significant Russian- and Ukrainian-speaking diaspora. With this scale come risks that the conventional law-enforcement system cannot always handle: corporate fraud, IP leaks at technology companies, threats to top managers, falsifications in M&A deals, and contractor fraud.
DRS Security und Sicherheitstechnik GmbH has been operating since December 2004. Our headquarters are in Hamburg (Hammer Landstraße 204, 20537 Hamburg), but we regularly handle cases in Stuttgart, deploying our team within 24 hours. Over more than 20 years of practice we have built a team of 50+ specialists: detectives and security personnel licensed under §34a GewO, former police and prosecution officers, practising lawyers, IT forensic experts and certified polygraph examiners.
All services operate to a single standard: licensed specialists, legally sound methods, court-admissible (gerichtsfest) evidence. Alongside investigations — the full range of security services: personal protection, property protection, VIP escort and event security in Stuttgart and within a 300 km radius. Our clients include corporations, law firms, investment funds, private banking and private individuals, including members of Stuttgart’s Russian- and Ukrainian-speaking diaspora.
