Specialist technical capability · regulated finance
We design, build, and assure your controls — by design, not a black box
From writing your fraud and AML detection rules to proving they hold up under scrutiny — end to end. Deep technical specialists who have sat inside the bank, not lawyers and not a software vendor. We lead with financial crime, and bring the same rigour to AI decisions and cyber. So when the FCA, the Financial Ombudsman, or a court asks, you can show your working.
Fraud & AML Rule Defensibility
Design, tune, and prove your fraud and AML detection rules.
Since mandatory APP-fraud reimbursement, FCA-regulated firms must show their detection rules are adequate and defensible. Our specialists span APP scams, AML transaction monitoring, and card, application, and mule fraud, and we work both ends: we design and tune your rules, then assure them, delivering a rule-by-rule defensibility scorecard, coverage gaps mapped across recognised UK typologies, an estimated false-positive reduction, and a regulator-ready documentation pack. For independence, build and assurance stay separate engagements — we don’t mark our own homework.

AI Governance & Compliance
Govern the AI and automated decisions that affect your customers, money, and operations.
The same rigorous, evidence-based approach, applied where firms rely on AI or automated decisions: who is accountable, how decisions are reviewed, what evidence is retained, and what happens when an outcome is challenged. Our work is repeatable and fully traceable — defensible by design, not a black box.
Concept sequence
Cybersecurity & Operational Resilience
Make your security and operational-resilience controls defensible.
We bring the same evidence-forward, reproducible discipline to the security and operational-resilience controls that move money and protect customers. We show which controls exist, who owns them, that they have been tested, and that they map to the regulation each implements — control assurance and resilience mapping, defensible by design, not a black box.

Risk
We trace where your controls are exposed — the rules and decisions you could not defend if challenged today.
Core lens
Consequence
We show what each gap means in practice: reimbursement cost, complaint risk, regulatory scrutiny, or operational failure.

Solution
We build the evidence, ownership, and documentation that hold up when a regulator, the Financial Ombudsman, or a court asks.
