A single, expert‑led assessment that turns complex businesses risks into a clear, actionable plan.
SAFE is Intelect’s next-generation Security, AML and Fraud Evaluation, a practical, conversational assessment that gives owners and senior leaders clear visibility of their exposure across fraud, cyber, AML, physical security and training, in one joined‑up view. Built for busy regulated and high‑trust businesses, it strips out jargon and replaces it with plain‑English insights, risk ratings and an action‑focused report you can actually use to make decisions, brief your board, and evidence your position to regulators, banks and insurers.
Developed by our CEO and founder Colin Tansley in collaboration with leading specialists Peter Taylor (fraud and counter‑fraud investigations) and Gavin Ball (law‑firm AML and regulatory compliance), SAFE blends real‑world investigative experience with practical compliance expertise. Together, this framework helps you pinpoint where you are genuinely strong, where you are vulnerable, and what needs to happen next, so you can move from “hoping everything’s fine” to knowing you have a structured, defensible improvement plan.
Why is this important?
Regulators, insurers and even banks are now expecting smaller firms to demonstrate the same standard of control and documentation that used to be associated only with large institutions. At the same time, fraudsters and cybercriminals have become more organised, faster and better resourced, actively looking for gaps between fraud controls, cyber security, AML procedures and day‑to‑day operational practice. Many firms have individual policies or point solutions in place, but still rely on assumptions, hope or outdated assessments when challenged to explain how these risks are being managed in a joined‑up way.
This creates a real tension for owners and senior leaders because you are accountable for protecting clients, staff and the business, but you rarely have a single, clear picture of where you are genuinely strong and where you are exposed. Internal conversations often stall between IT, compliance, finance and operations, leaving blind spots that only become visible after a near miss, regulator query or actual incident. The result is an uncomfortable gap between the level of assurance stakeholders expect and the evidence the firm can actually put on the table.
Who is SAFE for?
SAFE is designed for all businesses who are serious about their overall compliance and security. It is of particular relevance to law firms, accountants, estate agents, financial and professional services, and any business holding sensitive client data that cannot afford a serious incident.
