Cybersecurity Assessments

Comprehensive Cyber Risk Analysis, Threat Detection, and Defense Strategy

In today’s hyper-connected world, cyber threats are no longer limited to large corporations or government institutions. Small businesses, professionals, families, and even private individuals are now targets of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. From ransomware to phishing, from insider threats to unpatched vulnerabilities — the risks are real and growing.

At Investigate Smart, our Cybersecurity Assessment service provides a complete, custom-tailored evaluation of your digital environment. Whether you’re concerned about external attackers, internal data leaks, regulatory non-compliance, or simply want peace of mind, our cybersecurity service helps you understand your exposure and strengthen your defenses — all while remaining practical, confidential, and cost-effective.

What Makes This Service Different?

Unlike generic vulnerability scans or automated tools, our approach is human-led, OSINT-informed, and context-sensitive. We combine years of investigation experience with ethical hacking techniques and expert-level cybersecurity insight — all focused on your specific case or infrastructure.

This isn’t just a checkbox audit. It’s a hands-on, real-world security assessment designed for results.

Our Cybersecurity Assessment Includes:

Risk Assessment & Threat Profiling

We begin by understanding your digital footprint, internal systems, and specific threat vectors. Whether you’re an individual with privacy concerns or a business handling sensitive client data, we identify:

The most likely sources of attack
The consequences of potential compromise
Gaps in current defenses (technical or human)

External footprint and digital exposure

Vulnerability Testing

Using advanced diagnostic tools and manual testing methods, we perform:

Internal and external network scans
Device and endpoint security reviews
Web application security checks
Analysis of open ports, software versions, and known exploit paths

Password hygiene and credential exposure reviews

Penetration Testing (Ethical Hacking)

Where needed, we simulate targeted cyberattacks to test your real-world readiness. This involves:

Attempted unauthorized access
Privilege escalation testing
Data extraction simulations
Exploitation of common misconfigurations

This shows you exactly how an attacker would get in — before they do.

Intrusion & Hacker Detection

We check for signs that someone is already inside. This includes:

Unusual login patterns or remote access
Malware or backdoor detection
Suspicious user accounts or privilege misuse
Recent data breaches or leaked information involving your digital assets

If a hacker has accessed your systems, we’ll find out — and tell you exactly how.

Cybersecurity Consultations & Strategy

We provide direct guidance tailored to your situation. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a legal firm, or a public figure, we:

Break down complex issues in plain English
Recommend clear, achievable solutions
Offer ongoing support if needed

You don’t need a tech degree to understand your risks — that’s our job.

Cyber Hygiene & Operational Security (OpSec)

We help you assess your day-to-day digital habits and correct any weak points, such as:

Password management practices
Device encryption and backups
Email and cloud storage security
Use of public Wi-Fi and VPNs

Your defenses are only as strong as your weakest daily habit.

Compliance Alignment (Optional)

If you operate in a regulated industry, we align your assessment with relevant standards:

ISO 27001
SOC 2
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
GDPR / Australian Privacy Principles
Industry-specific compliance (e.g., legal, healthcare, finance)

This helps reduce your risk of audits, fines, and lawsuits.

Team Training & Social Engineering Defense

Human error is still the leading cause of cybersecurity breaches. We provide:

Employee training modules
Awareness sessions tailored to your organization
Simulated phishing and social engineering tests
Actionable guides for digital hygiene and device usage

You can’t outsource awareness. We help you build it in-house.

What You Receive

At the end of the process, you’ll receive a professional, plain-language report that includes:

A summary of findings
Technical breakdowns where needed
A clear risk prioritization chart
Short-term and long-term recommendations
Optional consultation follow-up session

Who Is This For?

Our Cybersecurity Assessments are ideal for:

Small to medium businesses
Law firms and private practitioners
eCommerce and online service providers
High-risk individuals (e.g. influencers, executives, whistleblowers)
Family offices and private households
Anyone who has experienced a breach or suspicious activity

Whether you're trying to prevent the next incident or understand what already happened — we can help.
