## About

Based in the UK, Strand Intelligence Ltd specializes in AI-powered digital forensics and incident response, providing solutions for rapid security alert analysis and incident management. Founded in 2025 in Manchester, UK, Strand Intelligence Ltd focuses on delivering advanced cybersecurity solutions. The firm was founded by William Poole (CEO) and Oli Fletcher (CCO) with prior experience in technology ventures. Strand specializes in AI-powered digital forensics and incident response, offering advanced solutions designed to analyze security alerts, identity compromises, and network intrusions at remarkable speed. Their core product leverages a combination of endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities and forensic collection tools to provide rapid identification of root causes, lateral movement, and data impact resulting from cyber incidents. The platform integrates seamlessly with existing security infrastructure, such as EDR, XDR, SIEM, and MDR systems, ensuring comprehensive investigation coverage regardless of the tools already deployed by clients. Strand serves a diverse client base, including security teams in sectors like finance, manufacturing, and hospitality, with a focus on markets across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Their offerings are particularly beneficial for organizations facing the challenges posed by modern cyber threats, allowing them to proactively manage incidents and streamline recovery processes. Strand operates on a subscription-based revenue model, allowing clients to access its suite of digital forensics and incident response tools through tiered pricing structures tailored for varying organizational needs. Transactions typically occur between Strand and its clients on a business-to-business (B2B) basis, with clients ranging from private equity firms to incident response teams within enterprises. Clients may engage in contracts that involve regular updates and support, ensuring continuous access to the latest forensic capabilities and features. Revenue is driven by the adoption of flagship products that are integral to the company’s service offering, with clients benefiting from not only the technology but also the streamlined investigative processes that enable prompt incident management and recovery. In July 2026, Strand Intelligence Ltd raised GBP 1 million in seed funding led by Osney Capital, which will be utilized to enhance its manpower and accelerate its development plans. The company is focused on launching new products designed to further improve their digital forensics capabilities. Additionally, Strand plans to expand its reach into new markets, specifically targeting regions in North America and Europe by the end of 2027.
