THE NEXT ERA OF FRAUD DETECTION
In 2021, Chris Gutierrez and his wife, Cristy, founded STRYKE National Investigations after seeing a persistent problem within the insurance investigation industry: investigations were too often slow, inconsistent, and reliant on outdated methods that couldn't keep pace with modern fraud.
They believed the industry didn't need another vendor.
It needed a premium investigative partner—one that combined the personal quality of a local firm with the reach, resources, technology, and accountability of a national provider.
That vision became STRYKE.
"Stryke was built to solve one core problem: turning uncertainty into actionable intelligence—fast, accurate, and legally sound."
From the beginning, Chris built STRYKE around a simple idea: an investigation should deliver more than footage or a report. It should deliver evidence that helps decision-makers move forward with confidence.
Under his leadership, STRYKE has developed an investigative model centered on three pillars: a relentless culture, an efficiency-first process, and a technology-forward mindset.
That means disciplined workflows, modern investigative tools, and AI-assisted capabilities designed to improve speed and accuracy while supporting defensible investigative practices and chain of custody.
For Chris, staying ahead isn't optional.
Fraud evolves—and the investigative response has to evolve faster.
Turning Uncertainty Into Actionable Intelligence
Every claim begins with questions.
What really happened?
Is the reported activity consistent with the claim?
Are there facts that haven't been uncovered?
Is fraud occurring?
What information could change the outcome?
STRYKE helps answer those questions through investigations designed around the needs of each case.
A National Partner With a Personal Approach
STRYKE was created to bridge the gap between the personal service of a local investigative firm and the reach, resources, and accountability of a national provider.
Our clients get a dedicated partner who understands that every case matters—and that the quality of an investigation can have a real impact on businesses, claims, and people's lives.
Our Values
Our approach is built on three principles:
Relentless
We don't accept "good enough." Our team approaches every investigation with curiosity, persistence, and attention to detail, pursuing the information that can make a difference.
Efficient
Investigations need to move at the speed of the claim. We use disciplined workflows, strategic case planning, and modern technology to reduce wasted time and resources while focusing on what matters.
MODERN
Fraud is evolving—and investigations have to evolve faster. STRYKE uses technology and AI-assisted capabilities to enhance research, surveillance, analysis, and investigative efficiency while maintaining human oversight and defensibility.
