Cyber Investigator Path
Investigators, analysts and compliance staff who need to run a digital investigation that holds up: lawfully collected, properly documented, and defensible when someone challenges it.
Assessed work, a capstone and a verified credential
What the path adds
Membership covers foundation reading. A path is where the work is assessed and the credential is earned.
- Marked work
- Your written submissions are assessed against a rubric, not ticked off.
- Cumulative assessment
- One exam across the whole path, not a quiz per course.
- Capstone
- A final piece of real work, reviewed.
- Portfolio artefact
- Something you can put in front of a hiring manager.
- Verified credential
- A Professional Path Credential with a public verification page.
What this path makes you able to do.
- Collect digital evidence lawfully and keep an unbroken chain of custody
- Run open-source and social media research without tipping off a subject
- Turn raw findings into a structured, defensible intelligence product
- Document and present a case that survives scrutiny in a hearing or court
