Services: investigation, analysis and reporting

Investigation

My skills include understanding the problem in order to build a strategy for information discovery.

Understanding the brief, possible motives and assumptions.
Calculating risks and how actions may impact behaviours.
Reviewing existing data and listing other potential sources.
Planning and carrying out investigations.

Analysis

During the analysis phase, I take the following steps to create a more complete picture:

Reviewing existing theories and developing others.
Looking at new sources of information.
Carry out further investigation, if necessary.
Merging and cross-referencing data sets

Reporting

And the above helps to decide the next course of action in creating structured evidence:

Understanding least risk and maximum opportunity.
Reviewing the use of formal channels (civil, commercial, etc).
Ensuring chain of custody for evidence.
Presenting data and reports in the most appropriate form.
Recommendations on how to strengthen personal or corporate security to stop further compromises.

Portfolio
