The strategic advantage of shared intelligence

Fraud evolves fast, operates in networks, and exploits intelligence gaps between organisations.

To stay resilient, you need the full picture of fraud and financial crime risk from the very start of an application – and to act without delay. This calls for two powerful advantages:

  • Collective intelligence from National SIRA – a defensive barrier built on shared public-private sector intelligence and peer-to-peer vigilance
  • The SIRA orchestration platform – where the intelligence comes to life, powering adaptive controls and real-time decisions that make sense for your business.

With Synectics, there is no compromise

You access the UK’s largest and most accurate shared risk intelligence network, which collates insight from 160+ private and public sector organisations. Plus, the SIRA orchestration platform, to align decisions to your risk appetite. 

Membership puts you on the inside. Here, you gain the strategic advantages of shared intelligence: collective vigilance, and a broader view of both confirmed and suspected threats no single organisation could see alone.

While the SIRA platform puts you in the driving seat. It turns intelligence into action with real-time application checks, automated decisions, and clear prioritisation – to stop fraud before it harms your business. 

Collective intelligence means foresight. Being on the outside means defending in the dark.
