Seeking Industry Partner: AI-Assisted Security Investigations and Operational Assurance

Project Opportunity: AI-Assisted Security Investigations and Operational Assurance

SIRV is a UK-based technology company developing AI workflows for safety, security and resilience operations. We are seeking an industry deployment partner for a potential Innovate UK BridgeAI-funded project addressing complex security challenges.

The challenge

Security teams manage information across multiple systems, including incident reports, access-control records, CCTV, visitor management platforms and operational intelligence.

Investigations and assurance activities require staff to reconcile information, identify significant exceptions and establish what the evidence supports.

These processes can be time-consuming, inconsistent and vulnerable to missed information. In consequential environments, incomplete or unsupported conclusions can have serious implications.

Reliable AI deployment requires addressing challenges involving evidence quality, conflicting information, uncertainty, data protection, human oversight and accountability.

The proposed solution

We want to collaborate with an industry partner to develop and validate an AI-assisted security workflow addressing a defined problem.

Potential applications include:

• Multi-source security investigations: Combining incident reports, access-control records, CCTV and other evidence to reconstruct events, identify inconsistencies and support investigations.

• Security intelligence and emerging risks: Identifying patterns, recurring incidents and emerging concerns across information sources.

• Continuous security assurance: Evaluating evidence from multiple systems to establish whether security requirements are being met and identify exceptions.

• Operational decision support: Providing evidence-based assessments to help security professionals prioritise investigations, allocate resources and determine responses.

The specific workflow would be agreed with the deployment partner, based on its needs and unresolved technical challenges.

Our objective is to improve reliability, completeness, consistency and efficiency while retaining human accountability for consequential decisions.

What SIRV brings

SIRV has developed SIRV AI, a platform for controlled, evidence-based operational workflows incorporating approved information sources, verification checks, exception handling, human review and auditable outputs.

Our technology has been tested in operational environments. In a project with the UK's Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), an AI-assisted investigation workflow identified 20% more valid cases than the manual process and reduced analyst processing time from approximately six hours to 20 minutes.

This provides a technical foundation for addressing more demanding security investigation and assurance challenges.

What we are looking for

We are seeking an eligible UK industry deployment partner that:

• Has a significant security challenge involving investigations, operational assurance or consequential decision-making.

• Faces technical, reliability or governance barriers that have prevented effective AI deployment.

• Can provide operational expertise, information sources and access to a representative testing environment.

• Is willing to define measurable success criteria and participate in structured evaluation.

• Is interested in a collaborative, grant-funded project with potential for wider deployment.

We are particularly interested in organisations operating across multiple sites or managing complex security environments.

Potential benefits for the deployment partner

Participation offers an opportunity to shape an AI capability around a genuine operational requirement, with potential Innovate UK funding contributing towards eligible development and validation costs.

The project would aim to demonstrate measurable improvements in investigation time, evidence completeness, detection of significant exceptions, assessment reliability and operational decision support.

It would address requirements for trusted deployment, including integration, information security, data protection, monitoring, human oversight and auditability.

The initial project would focus on technical and operational validation, with wider deployment subject to successful results and further agreement.

Intended outcome

A validated AI-assisted security workflow addressing a significant operational problem, demonstrating measurable benefits and providing a foundation for sustained deployment.

The ambition is to develop a repeatable capability that organisations can adopt without having to design, test and maintain the entire workflow themselves.

We welcome discussions with prospective deployment partners and organisations offering expertise in AI assurance, security operations and technical evaluation.
