Business risk mitigation strategies

STRATA’s unique access to global closed source intelligence enables organisations to create new or to strengthen existing due diligence risk mitigation strategies that can not be matched or replicated by competitors.

Flexible by design, STRATA’s unprecedented research and investigative capabilities can be tailored to resolve client-specific challenges where forensic due diligence is paramount to achieving predetermined levels of business risk mitigation.

Strategic

Difference

STRATA links ‘closed source’ intelligence data with Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) criminal records data to present a unique, unrestricted and unparalleled view of personal circumstances.

Competitor background checks access just 8% of open source (‘publicly available’) data about people. STRATA identiﬁes potential risk contained within the signiﬁcant 70% gap in data analysis capabilities.

True or false

Identity verification

The flagship in our armoury is STRATA facial recognition technology.
Using facial features as biometric identifiers, from a single photo or video STRATA will verify true – or false – credentials about an individual.

ID verification automatically syncs with international criminal records and invaluable information held by intelligence agencies worldwide.

Facial recognition business applications include:

online dating Apps, criminal investigations, witness tracing, board level recruitment and M&A key stakeholder due diligence.
