Request a complimentary Proof of Concept
The Synectics Proof of Concept (PoC) helps fraud and financial crime teams uncover hidden threats and spot new opportunities. It's light-touch, confidential and high-impact.
By securely comparing your organisation’s data with National SIRA – the UK’s largest cross-sector risk intelligence network – we help you identify risks you can’t detect alone.
Request a free Proof of Concept to:
- Uncover hidden fraud and risk signals you previously missed
- Validate the value of National SIRA against your own data, with zero commitment
- Spot opportunities your current controls may be blocking
If you're query relates to a personal data request (DSAR), you can submit a request here.

The Proof of Concept made it easy to decide if the solution was right for us. We were able to get hands-on quickly, focus on the data, and easily assess fit against LendInvest’s needs. That clarity, and autonomy, gave us the confidence to reach a decision fast.

What is a Proof of Concept?
We’re confident in the tangible impact our consortium members consistently experience. Synectics clients report spending less time investigating fraud that’s already been identified elsewhere, along with significantly reduced fraud losses. A PoC allows you to see the impact on your business before you commit.
Using a sample of your most recent applications, we compare your data against fraud and financial crime intelligence held in our risk consortium, to show you the risk - and opportunities - you missed.
That database, National SIRA, is the UK’s largest source of confirmed and suspicious fraud data - contributed to by 180+ private and public organisations, including 80% of tier 1 banks and 9 out of 10 of the UK's largest insurers.
The first step to full visibility
A Proof of Concept is the first step that 95% of our members took before joining the National SIRA collective.
