London, UK – May 26 2026 — The Coalition of Cyber Investigators (CCI) and Guildhawk GAI Labs today announced an official strategic partnership to introduce a new generation of secure, AI‑powered tools to transform how investigators conduct multilingual research in high‑stakes environments.
This partnership combines CCI’s global network of cyber investigation and OSINT professionals with Guildhawk GAI Labs’ 25 years expertise in ISO:27001 certified secure language intelligence and applied artificial intelligence. It addresses a critical operational need: enabling investigators to analyse and act on multilingual data rapidly while maintaining evidential integrity and regulatory compliance.
Investigators currently face a persistent gap: high volumes of multilingual digital evidence, including audio and video material must be assessed quickly. Existing tools lack the combination of security, traceability, transcription accuracy, and human oversight required for evidential use. That gap creates operational risk and inefficiency across law enforcement, financial crime, legal, and intelligence sectors, where demand for compliant AI solutions is rapidly increasing.
At the core of the collaboration is a suite of advanced AI tools that allow investigators to process multilingual content with security, traceability, and accountability, aligned to the requirements of the EU AI Act for high‑risk systems, which come into force in August 2026.
Leadership commentary
Paul Wright, Co-Founder of the Coalition of Cyber Investigators, said:
"Investigators face increasing volumes of multilingual digital evidence, including audio and video, in complex, high-risk cases. This partnership enables AI to be used safely, enhancing investigative capability, upholding professional integrity and evidential standards."
Jurga Zilinskiene MBE, Founder of Guildhawk and GAI Labs, said:
"AI in investigations must be secure, explainable, and accountable. By combining domain-specific models with expert human oversight and ISO-aligned controls, we are empowering investigators to work more efficiently and evidence compliance with the EU AI Act on human oversight."
Enabling Investigators with Secure, Accountable AI
The new technologies empower investigators to:
A defining feature is Guildhawk GAI Labs’ proprietary “1‑click expert review and certification capability”, enabling AI outputs to be escalated instantly to qualified experts for validated, certifiable outputs suitable for legal and evidential use.
This ensures AI is deployed within a human‑in‑the‑loop governance model, supporting transparency, accountability and oversight in high-stakes investigative contexts.
OSINT specific small language models
As part of the partnership, Guildhawk GAI Labs is developing domain-specific small language models (SLMs) tailored to the language needs of cyber investigators and OSINT practitioners.
These models are:
This approach provides greater precision, explainability, and control, which are critical for evidential and regulatory use.
Designed for the EU AI Act and high risk use cases
The solution is explicitly aligned to the EU AI Act framework for high-risk AI systems, particularly in:
Key compliance-enabling features include:
UK developed secure AI with ISO 27001 controls
The underlying technology has been developed in the United Kingdom using tried and tested proprietary methodologies, supported by:
A step forward for responsible AI in investigations
This partnership represents a significant advancement in the adoption of responsible, compliant AI for investigative use, combining speed, multilingual capability, including audio and video processing, and introducing verifiable human oversight.
Phased engagement with CCI members and partners will begin ahead of the EU AI Act implementation timeline.
