Governance, risk and compliance
Meet the security requirements you are subject to, and be able to prove it.
Value for your organization
- What do we get?
- Documented compliance with the frameworks that apply to you, backed by controls that work in practice.
- Why trust you?
- Every engagement is led and reviewed personally by a consultant with more than 20 years in cybersecurity, across banking, the public sector, healthcare and defense.
- How long does it take?
- Gap assessment in 1–2 business weeks, depending on the size of the organization. Policies and remediation follow a plan agreed with you.
- What do you need from us?
- About 3–4 hours of your team’s time in total: a kickoff meeting, access to the information we request, and the results presentation.
- How will we know it worked?
- A risk assessment, approved policies, a remediation plan with owners, and evidence you can hand to an auditor.
Context
Regulators, customers and insurers increasingly ask organizations to show how they protect data. Compliance work is most useful when it reflects real security, not paperwork. We connect the two: risk assessments, policies and controls that hold up in an audit because they describe what you actually do.
What it brings
- Known obligations
- A clear view of which requirements apply to your organization.
- Documented controls
- Policies and procedures that match how you operate.
- Audit readiness
- Evidence organized and available when it is requested.
- Continuity
- Annual reviews that keep documentation and controls current.

Frequently asked questions
