Forensic analytics, for the SOC 2 era
Fraud forensics,
illuminated.
A unified investigation chassis for forensic accountants and audit teams. Where the evidence becomes a finding.
About
Built where the work happens.
Forensic accounting and audit teams already know how to follow the money. What they've been missing is a workspace that follows along with them — one that holds documents, parties, cases, datasets, and findings, and the timeline that ties them together.
IlluminateRisk is that workspace. It ingests the evidence, structures it, runs it through a fifty-rule analytics library, and surfaces what's worth investigating. Every action leaves an immutable audit trail.
Audit-grade isn't a bolt-on. It's the substrate.
Built by an investigator who got tired of stitching together six tools to write one report, IlluminateRisk is opinionated about the workflow because the workflow is the product.
Product
One workflow.
Six capabilities.
From the first dropped PDF to the final printable brief — everything routes through a single case, with one audit log behind it.
Document ingestion & OCR
Drag-and-drop PDFs, Word, spreadsheets, scanned images. Magic-byte content validation, SHA-256 integrity, ClamAV scan, PdfPig text extraction, and RapidOCR for the scanned pages.
PDF · DOCX · XLSX · IMGClassifier-driven categorization
Rules-first composite classifier sorts each document into one of ten dataset kinds. ML.NET TF-IDF picks up where the rules trail off. Auto-suggests entity links to known parties.
Ten dataset kindsParties, cases, and the timeline
One document attaches to many cases and parties. Inline create from any panel. The case timeline pulls from documents, datasets, findings, and notes — automatically — so you stop maintaining it by hand.
Many-to-many subject joinFifty-rule structured-data library
Vendors, employees, GL, payroll, expenses, audit logs, fleet GPS, customers, bank transactions, AR. Primary rules emit findings. Composite rules score patterns across them.
SQL templates · Postgres FTSAlerts & reporting
Saved searches over documents and findings, with notification dispatch. Drag-and-drop report templates render to print-ready briefs — with curated findings and exhibits attached.
Saved search · template builderSOC 2-aware audit trail
Every mutation logs an immutable audit event. Identity baseline meets SOC 2 password and lockout policy. The audit table is append-only by EF Core interceptor — not by convention.

Currently in private beta. We'd like to hear from forensic accountants, audit firms, and investigation teams — especially if you're already feeling the friction we're trying to take out.
