Prevent it, detect it, trace it, recover from it — and build the systems that stop it happening again. Capabilities across IT security, fraud, monitoring, tracing and custom software. We do the lot — on retainer, by project, or on call when an incident hits.
Design and harden the controls that stop first-party, third-party and payment fraud before it lands — the frameworks, rules and governance that make fraud expensive for the attacker and cheap for you.
Forensic investigation of incidents, insider activity and complex or organised fraud. We follow the money, reconstruct the event and build evidence that stands up — internally, with law enforcement, or in court.
Cut leakage, chargebacks and refund abuse, strengthen recovery pathways, and turn losses from an unpredictable cost into a managed, measurable number the board can see.
We build the systems, not a slide deck. Bespoke fraud engines, monitoring and tracing platforms, risk-scoring services and security tooling — engineered for your money flows and integrated with your stack.
Design, tune and validate monitoring and detection so you catch what matters and stop drowning in false positives — model logic, thresholds, tuning and assurance.
Review of payment terminals, POS, ATMs and connected devices for skimming, tampering and device-level fraud — closing the physical gaps software alone can't see.
Select, implement and optimise fraud, AML and case-management software — vendor-independent. We help you buy the right platform and make the one you have actually work.
Bank-grade security for money businesses — application, cloud and infrastructure security, penetration testing, secure architecture and hardening across the systems that move and hold funds.
Follow the money. We trace funds across accounts, rails and blockchains, reconstruct the flow of a fraud or theft, and produce the forensic evidence needed to support recovery and action.
Blockchain analytics and on-chain tracing for exchanges and any business handling digital assets — follow funds across wallets and chains, screen exposure, and detect illicit-flow and market-abuse patterns.
Stop account takeover at the front door — authentication and MFA design, bot and credential-stuffing defence, device and behavioural signals, and login-anomaly detection engineered into your platform.
When an incident hits, we mobilise fast — contain it, investigate, remediate and manage the response end to end. And yes, we cover the regulatory side too: AML/CTF monitoring, reporting and support when you need it. We do the lot.
We build. Financial Crime Advisory is engineering-led — across every service here, the deliverable is working, integrated capability running in your stack, not a report that recommends one. Advice is part of the work, but you end up with controls, monitoring, tracing or software that actually stops fraud.
Either. Take one service — a monitoring tune, a penetration test, a forensic accounting audit, an incident response — or an end-to-end programme across prevent, detect, investigate and recover. We scope to the problem in front of you, with no obligation to buy the rest.
Senior specialists from $550/hour, with fixed-scope packages starting at the Exposure Audit ($8,250, credited toward follow-on work) and a Fractional Security & Fraud Lead retainer from $8,800/month. No juniors billed at senior rates, no setup fees, no lock-in, and the full pricing is public.
Fast. There is no six-month discovery phase — a free scoping call, then a fixed-scope engagement that gets a working result into your business in weeks, not quarters. For a live incident we mobilise rapidly, while it is still unfolding.
Yes. We have no platform to sell and take no vendor commissions, so our advice is about your exposure, not our pipeline. We tune and extend the tools you already own before recommending anything new, and we build custom only where it genuinely wins.
No. We are headquartered in Sydney and work across Australia, and we also deliver internationally for clients worldwide — senior-led and remote-first, with on-site and in-person engagement where it's needed.
