Frequently Asked Questions.

Fraud Shield™

Clear answers for high-risk financial environments.

How do you carry out your checks?

Our checks combine advanced AI-assisted intelligence analysis through Cobra AI with enhanced due diligence methodologies, behavioural assessment, open-source intelligence analysis, risk pattern evaluation and specialist investigative review where appropriate.

Depending on the nature of the engagement, this may include:

  • identity and counterparty verification
  • behavioural transaction analysis
  • corporate structure review
  • source-of-funds assessment
  • digital footprint analysis
  • adverse intelligence screening
  • enhanced due diligence investigations
  • ongoing monitoring of higher-risk exposure

The precise methodologies and intelligence processes used form part of our proprietary commercial framework.

How does Fraud Shield support enhanced intelligence gathering?

Fraud Shield™ is supported by Cobra AI, IYE Global’s proprietary investigation resource. Cobra AI assists our analysts in developing intelligence, identifying lines of inquiry, and assessing risk indicators that may not be visible through standard open-source review alone.

Are the checks conducted in a lawful and compliant manner?

Yes. All services are conducted in accordance with applicable laws, regulatory obligations, data protection requirements and compliance frameworks relevant to the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Our processes are designed to support clients in meeting enhanced due diligence and fraud risk management obligations whilst maintaining lawful and proportionate handling of information.

What happens if I don’t use my allocated service usage each month?

Unused monthly service allocations may be rolled forward during the active subscription period, allowing clients operational flexibility where transaction volumes or risk exposure fluctuate throughout the year.

Full terms relating to allocation rollover and service utilisation are set out within the client engagement documentation.

Are you a regulated service?

Fraud Shield™ operates as an intelligence-led fraud prevention, enhanced due diligence and risk management service. Certain activities conducted by clients using our services may fall within regulated sectors depending on jurisdiction and business type.

Where required, we work alongside regulated entities and professional advisers to support enhanced compliance, fraud prevention and risk management objectives.

Is my data stored securely in accordance with GDPR and data protection laws?

Yes. Data security, confidentiality and privacy protection are extremely important to us.

Information is handled using secure systems and processes designed to comply with applicable GDPR and data protection obligations.

Access to sensitive information is restricted to authorised personnel and managed in accordance with strict confidentiality and security protocols.

How does payment work?

Clients may subscribe on either a monthly or annual basis depending on operational requirements and anticipated usage levels. Annual subscriptions benefit from discounted pricing and are designed for organisations requiring continuous embedded protection throughout the year.

What happens after I make a payment?

Following onboarding, clients will receive access to the Fraud Shield™ engagement process together with dedicated account support. We will work with you to understand your operational environment, transaction profile and risk exposure so that services can be integrated efficiently into your existing workflows.

Once active, checks and assessments can be requested as required in accordance with your selected service level.

Is the information you provide treated as confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is a core principle of the Fraud Shield™ service. Information provided by clients, together with intelligence and reporting generated during engagements, is handled in strict confidence subject to applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

What is the cost of the service?

Fraud Shield™ Pro is available from:
£10,000 per month
or
£100,000 annually

Fraud Shield™ Enterprise is available from:
£15,000 per month
or
£150,000 annually

The appropriate service level depends on transaction volume, operational complexity, risk exposure and the level of ongoing monitoring required.

How does the service usage system work?

Each subscription level includes a defined annual allocation of enhanced reviews, investigative assessments and intelligence-led support services.

Fraud Shield™ is designed for organisations requiring strong proactive protection and periodic enhanced due diligence support throughout the year.

Fraud Shield™ Enterprise provides substantially expanded usage capacity together with continuous monitoring across higher-risk vectors, priority escalation handling and more deeply embedded intelligence oversight.

This structure allows clients to select the level of protection most appropriate to their operational environment and risk profile.

How do I submit information for checks?

Clients may securely submit information and supporting documentation through designated secure engagement channels provided during onboarding. Depending on the nature of the assessment, this may include identity details, corporate information, transaction data or supporting documentation relevant to the requested review.

Do you offer international checks?

Yes. Fraud Shield™ supports domestic and international intelligence-led due diligence and fraud risk assessments across multiple jurisdictions, subject to applicable legal and operational considerations.

Can you carry out checks on individuals and companies?

Yes. We can conduct enhanced intelligence-led reviews relating to both individuals and corporate entities, including counterparties, directors, beneficial owners, transactional relationships and associated risk exposure depending on the nature of the engagement.
