Fraud Intelligence

Orion

Orion helps institutions cut fraud-related losses and protect critical revenue awareness. It enhances compliance with regulatory standards while reinforcing the integrity of admissions and financial aid.

Orion by LightLeapAI ® is the fraud command center built for higher education. It protects admission, enrollment, financial aid, and payments with powerful AI-driven risk scoring and identity verification.

Autonomous agents scan applications, score risk, verify identity with Socure, surface anomaly clusters, and enforce holds in your SIS — while an in-app assistant powered by AWS Bedrock and Claude explains every decision. Orion is built multi-tenant, audited, and conformant to WCAG 2.2 AA with a published VPAT.

Problem

Institutions are facing insurmountable fraud breaches worldwide.

Ghost Students

Fraud rings submit large volumes of fake applications into enrollment systems — using stolen and synthetic identities to pose as real students.

Institutional Losses Mount

Community college systems, especially, are having to write off sizable losses from aid and tuition fraud.

Seat Takers

Fraudulent students are taking the seats of real students—further disrupting education and opportunity for thousands.

Operational Impact

Staff allocation of time to manually verify student applications isn’t scalable at the current rate of fraudulent activity.

Variance of Tools

Campuses are relying on a patchwork of tools to accurately identify students across management systems that are not fully integrated.

Industry Impact

Creating data implementation partnerships with one goal: the elimination of fraudulent actors.

  • Built Through a Collaborative Model

    Data collaboration across districts and community-college systems gives Orion the signal to identify and isolate fraudulent actors in real time.

  • Fraud Cluster Identification

    Anomaly detection surfaces clustered identifiers — repeated SSNs, addresses, and IPs — so coordinated rings are caught before they scale.

  • Patent-Pending AI/ML Modeling

    LightLeapAI's patent-pending fraud models evaluate hundreds of variables across admissions, enrollment, and financial data to score every application — with AWS Bedrock and Claude summarizing the reasoning for reviewers.

Integrations & Capabilities

Fraud protection requires a comprehensive stack of integrations and capabilities to answer the bell today and the concerns of tomorrow.

  • AI Risk Scoring

    Every application gets a fraud risk score and a Fraud / Not-Fraud prediction, with per-model thresholds, auto-verification, and auto-holds you configure — powered by LightLeapAI's patent-pending fraud models.

  • Anomaly Detection

    Automatically surfaces clustered identifiers — repeated SSNs, addresses, or IPs across applications — so coordinated fraud rings are visible before they scale.

  • Identity Verification

    Built-in document and identity verification (Socure DocV) confirms real applicants and reduces false positives — with manual review and hold-from-review built in.

  • Fraud Rules & Reputation Lists

    Build typed fraud rules in a no-code rule builder, and maintain block/allow reputation lists that feed directly into risk scoring.

  • Ask Orion (AI Assistant)

    An in-app assistant, powered by AWS Bedrock and Claude, summarizes the signals behind any decision and answers questions about your applications — with the reasoning shown.

  • SIS Integration & Action

    Connects to Ellucian Banner to apply or remove holds automatically, and pushes fraud events to partner systems via webhook and EventBridge — batch or real time.

How Orion Works

Fraud protection structured to withstand today's demands - powered to meet tomorrow's head-on.

  • Data Ingestion

    Orion collects application, identity, enrollment, and financial data from connected systems in real time.

  • Behavior Analysis

    The system analyzes user behavior and data patterns across submissions, applications, and financials.

    Activate Scoring
  • AI Risk Scoring

    Machine learning models assign a fraud risk score to each case based on detected patterns and signals.

  • Anomaly Detection

    Unusual or suspicious activity—such as repeated attempts or inconsistent data—is automatically flagged.

  • Investigation & Review

    High-risk cases are routed into a centralized case management workspace for staff review and documentation.

  • Decision & Prevention

    Based on findings, teams take action to block fraud, send alerts, or allow legitimate cases to proceed.

Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of Instruction & Student Services, Palo Verde College

We have been working with the N2N team for some time now and couldn’t be happier with their service and expertise. They’ve surpassed all our expectations.

Cem Erdem

CEO, AuguSoft Inc.

LightLeapAI ® virtually eliminated our fraudulent enrollment problem overnight, giving us real students, renewed faculty trust, and renewed hope for our college’s future. We’re truly grateful for their swift and effective partnership.

Dr. Jeannie Kim

President, Santiago Canyon College

The new fraud detection product doubled our ability to stop fraud, saves our teams time, and makes sure aid reaches real students. Integration was easy—even skeptics are now convinced. The product truly speaks for itself.

Dr. Jory Hadsell

Vice Chancellor of Technology, Foothill-De Anza Colleges

LightLeapAI ® automated our student services process, saving staff time, closing equity gaps, and ensuring students get quick access to the support they need. Our managers now respond instantly, making a real difference for our students.

Dr. Seher Awan

President, Mission College

I know how hard N2N team has worked to get us into position for the MyPath go-live. Please know we understand and respect the sacrifice of the N2N team to move BU forward.

Lee Johnston

Associate Vice Chancellor of Information Technology Services, Brandman University

Banner (R) Registration is a complex process and our system used to crash during critical registration periods. N2N's team assisted my campus with Performance testing the System and helped us create a reliable infrastructure for years to come.

Mia He

Director of Enterprise Systems, Wentworth Institute of Technology

The launch of the Brandman CBE Program is formally underway. I want to express appreciation to you and the N2N team for your leadership, commitment and good efforts to get us this far on our journey. Congratulations and many thanks, Kiran and team.
