Forensics, Data & AI

We help organisations uncover truth from data, respond with confidence, and build trust in an increasingly digital world.

Our team combines deep forensic expertise with advanced analytics and artificial intelligence to deliver clarity and assurance when it matters most.

We combine our own technologies with trusted alliances across leading platforms to help clients solve complex problems with speed, scale and confidence.

Agentic AI

We apply classic and cutting-edge AI to deliver scalable, human-aligned data solutions that enhance decision-making and drive measurable outcomes.

Our specialists use advanced data science techniques, including machine learning, large language models, and autonomous agents to accelerate complex analysis and autonomously identify insights and patterns within structured and unstructured data.

Whether identifying anomalies indicative of fraud or error, supporting clients with compliance, or enabling smarter investigations, our AI solutions work hand in hand with human expertise.

AI Risk & Resilience

AI now underpins many critical business decisions - and when it fails, the consequences extend beyond technology. We help clients prepare for, respond to, and recover from AI-related incidents with the same forensic rigour applied to cyber breaches and regulatory crises.

Our multidisciplinary team combines technical, legal and governance expertise to investigate failures, restore confidence and embed trust by design. We ensure your AI systems are transparent, accountable and resilient - not just functional.

Crypto & Digital Assets

We help clients navigate the complex world of digital assets - ranging from the tracing and recovery of digital assets through to secure custody, sanction screening and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Our specialists use blockchain analytics and attribution data to uncover fund flows, identify counterparties and assess exposure to financial crime risks such as sanctions, fraud and terrorist financing.

We also support with valuation, custody and asset recovery during insolvency and litigation.

Data Breach & Data Discovery

When sensitive data is lost, stolen or exposed, rapid and accurate analysis is essential.

We use advanced AI-enabled tools to identify and extract personally identifiable information (PII) and other regulated or high-risk data from large, unstructured datasets. This enables precise regulatory reporting, customer notification and remediation.

Beyond breach response, we help clients gain full visibility over their data environment. Using discovery and classification technology, we map, clean and govern information at scale - reducing exposure before incidents occur, strengthening cyber resilience, and enabling proactive compliance with regulatory and AI governance requirements.

Data-Driven Compliance

We enable clients to detect and manage compliance and supply chain risks using entity resolution, advanced analytics and network analysis. This allows organisations to connect a vast array of both internal and external datasets together, at scale, to create a single view of risk across their organisation.

As a certified Quantexa implementation partner, we help organisations design, deploy and operate solutions that monitor for bribery, sanctions, fraud and conflicts of interest across global operations.

eDiscovery

We help businesses of all sizes navigate complex, data-intensive matters - including investigations, litigation, regulatory reviews and disputes - efficiently and defensibly.

Our specialists deliver flexible eDiscovery support - from scalable managed services and preferred-panel arrangements to rapid, one-off assistance for urgent cases. Leveraging leading platforms such as RelativityOne alongside PwC’s proprietary Accelerated Discovery tool, we help clients quickly identify, process and analyse electronic data in a cost-effective and robust way.

Fraud Technology

We combine forensic insight and AI-powered analytics to detect, prevent and investigate fraud.

Our solutions uncover patterns and anomalies across structured and unstructured data, helping organisations safeguard assets, strengthen controls and maintain trust. From proactive monitoring and risk scoring to detailed investigative analysis, we provide the technology and expertise to stay ahead of emerging threats.
