Technology consultant · Founder of Stratapault · London

Mark Maynard

For twenty-five years I've worked where technology has to be right first time: with police forces and the NHS on how forensic evidence is captured, with Children's Health Ireland and medical-device makers, with government bodies — and with some of London's best-known advertising and marketing agencies. I look at how an organisation really works, then get its technology working for it.

Today I lead Stratapault, bringing that experience to organisations that need to see their whole technology estate clearly.

Founder & Principal · Stratapault

Stratapault: an X-ray for your whole organisation.

See everything. Ask anything. Fix what matters.

Every growing organisation ends up the same way: systems added one at a time, IT people who came and went, apps nobody switched off — and nobody who can say what's really there. Consultants answer that with interviews and questionnaires. Stratapault reads the organisation itself.

01 · CONNECTRead-only, to what you already run

Microsoft 365 or Google, every computer, the files, the network. Read-only from start to finish: nothing on your systems is changed.

02 · MODELA living model of the whole company

Every system, account, device and document, and how they connect — one picture nobody inside the business has ever had.

03 · ANSWERWhat's working, what's at risk, what first

Hundreds of checks, every finding with its evidence, a plan in order — and anything it couldn't see, it says so.

And because the model stays built, the next question is answered from evidence, not guesswork: "Are we ready for AI?" · "Who can still get in after they left?" · "If our IT person left tomorrow, could anyone take over?"

Selected work

Police forces and the NHS

Forensic evidence capture for Sexual Assault Referral Centres

Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) are where people who have been sexually assaulted or abused receive medical care, support and a forensic examination, whether or not they report to the police. What is recorded there may one day be evidence in court, so it has to be high quality, held securely and handled with an unbroken chain of custody, while the person's care and dignity come first. I worked with police forces and healthcare teams to improve how SARCs capture and store that evidence, with a secure system now used in hospitals and forensic settings across the UK.

Imperial College London

A decision-making tool used by NATO

Built the software for an advanced decision-support tool with Imperial College, using morphological analysis: mapping every combination of the factors in a complex problem so the realistic options stand out. It went on to be used by NATO.

Media organisation

From a ten-year SharePoint maze to an estate people can navigate

Mapped how work really flowed, rebuilt the structure, naming and governance, and made the data ready for AI. I still look after their Microsoft 365, devices and policies.

Government and judiciary

AI assistants with a person in control

A secure assistant that answers from a government body's own knowledge, and a tool that drafts structured case summaries from hearing audio for judges to review.

Law, business and technology — and still learning

It's an unusual mix, and it's deliberate. The law degree means I read the rules before the brochure: data protection, contracts, evidence, and now the fast-moving law around AI. The technology MBA keeps every piece of work tied to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. Twenty-five years of hands-on delivery means I can still build the thing myself, so the advice is practical, not a slide deck.

And the learning hasn't stopped. I study AI continuously: how the models and tools work underneath, and the governance, legal and ethical questions that come with them. I'm active in the communities where AI systems are actually built, contributing as well as learning, and I follow a carefully chosen set of researchers and sources so I know what has really changed, not just what is being hyped. That is exactly the work behind Stratapault.
