Silver Knot Agency — Hobart, Tasmania
Silver Knot Agency was an independent investigations and intelligence agency — licensed, discreet, and 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 worked with clients across Tasmania and Australia on matters requiring discretion, analytical rigour, and findings that held up to scrutiny. Our work was evidence-based, procedurally sound, and defensible — because our clients needed reports they could act on and stand behind.
"The difference between a background check and an investigation was who you trusted to do it — and whether their findings would hold up if challenged. We built reports that didn't collapse under scrutiny."
— Gregory Smith, Principal, Silver Knot Agency
