See fraud coming, get ahead, and stay ahead
Fraud evolves fast, operates in networks, and exploits intelligence gaps between organisations.
To stay ahead, you need the full picture of risk from the very start of an application – and to act without delay. This calls for two powerful advantages:
- Inside intelligence from National SIRA – a collective defence built on shared public-private sector intelligence and peer-to-peer vigilance
- The SIRA decisioning platform - to implement adaptative controls 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 pools insight from 160+ private and public sector organisations. And the SIRA decisioning 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.
Inside intelligence means foresight. Being on the outside means flying blind against threats.
