Who does the work

Your case is worked by a SleuthX examiner and overseen by Quinnlan Varcoe.

Founder and CEO. Bachelor of Science in cybersecurity from SANS Technology Institute. 9 active SANS GIAC certifications including GCIH, GCIA, and GSEC. Designed the forensic methodology that SleuthX encodes and trains on. Roughly a decade in incident response and threat intelligence for Fortune 50 enterprises and the defense industrial base before founding the company.

Which fits you?

  • One phone, tablet or computerOption A · $2,500
  • Two or three of themOption B · $5,000
  • Four or fiveOption C · $7,000
  • Records, accounts or online information looked into, not a device examinedOption D · $5,000 retainer
  • Your attorney needs an expert review, a report, and testimony if calledOption E · $5,500 testimony retainer

A device is one phone, tablet or computer. It comes with the accounts you name on it.

We examine only a device you own. Before we start, you sign a form stating that you own it.

Not sure? Call, or choose the option that covers what you have. If two fit, choose the smaller.

This is your request, not the agreed scope. We confirm scope in writing before we start, and if what you want is outside what we can honestly do, we say so and refund you rather than bill it.

We do not recover lost money.

What happens next

After you sign and pay, we contact you the same business day, by phone or email. We confirm the scope in writing before any work starts.

Refunds in plain words

You can cancel within seven days of signing, or until we log our first hour of work, whichever comes first. You get your money back, less any hours already worked, at the hourly rate stated in the letter.

After that, you get back the part of the fee for work not yet done.

Whatever your state's law gives you on top of that, you keep.

Before disputing a charge with your bank, please email us first. We answer within ten business days, and would rather fix it than fight it.

Expert testimony (Option E) has its own cancellation terms, shown beside it in the letter.

Client Perspectives

“I sent a photo to someone I matched with on Tinder, and then the threats started. I was paying just to keep it quiet. SleuthX helped me see that paying was never going to end it, so I stopped.”

Client · personal matter
Client reference
“I worked alongside SleuthX's founder on digital forensics and incident response at a large enterprise. When someone is trying to understand whether they've actually been compromised, speculation is the last thing they need. She stays focused on the evidence, and her ability to navigate high-stakes incidents was invaluable.”

“I worked with SleuthX's founder at a large enterprise before moving into digital investigations myself. She has a strong ability to take complex situations and break them down into clear, understandable findings. She brings more than cybersecurity expertise.”
