Silver Knot Agency — Hobart, Tasmania
Corporate investigations, due diligence, and risk advisory for organisations that cannot afford to rely on assumptions. Licensed. Discreet. Defensible.
About
Silver Knot Agency was founded by Gregory Smith, a Senior Investigations and Intelligence professional whose career spans the Australian Federal Police intelligence operation & analysis, Army information operations, regulatory investigations, and corporate risk advisory.
We work with clients across Tasmania and Australia on matters requiring discretion, analytical rigour, and findings that hold up to scrutiny. Our work is evidence-based, procedurally sound, and defensible — because our clients need reports they can act on and stand behind.
"The difference between a background check and an investigation is who you trust to do it — and whether their findings will hold up if challenged. We build reports that don't collapse under scrutiny."
— Gregory Smith, Principal, Silver Knot Agency
