Overview
What this involves
Prevention is always better - and cheaper - than recovery. Our prevention consulting service helps individuals and businesses identify their vulnerability to fraud and implement practical safeguards that dramatically reduce risk.
For businesses, we offer comprehensive fraud risk assessments covering payment processes, email security, employee training, vendor verification, and cyber security posture. Our auditors identify weaknesses before fraudsters can exploit them, providing actionable recommendations prioritised by risk level.
For individuals, we provide personalised security reviews covering investment due diligence, online safety, identity protection, and scam recognition training. Many of our clients are previous fraud victims who want to ensure they never fall victim again.
We also deliver training programmes for organisations, equipping staff with the knowledge to recognise and report fraud attempts. Our training covers BEC (Business Email Compromise), investment scams, phishing, social engineering, and emerging fraud trends.

FAQ
Common questions
Is prevention consulting worth it for a small business?
Absolutely. Small businesses are prime targets for fraud because they often lack sophisticated controls. A £1,000 assessment can prevent losses of £100,000+.
Can you train our staff remotely?
Yes. We deliver training via video conference, in-person workshops, or self-paced online modules. We tailor the format to your team's needs.
How often should we review our fraud prevention measures?
We recommend quarterly reviews for high-risk businesses and at least annually for others. Fraud tactics evolve rapidly, so regular updates are essential.
Do you provide ongoing monitoring?
Yes. Our monitoring service includes regular reviews, threat intelligence updates, and rapid response if a fraud attempt is detected.
What industries are most at risk?
Financial services, property, e-commerce, professional services, and charities are all high-risk sectors. However, any business that processes payments or handles sensitive data is potentially at risk.
