Security, Risk & Compliance
Security, Risk and Compliance Services

How we work
Four commitments in every engagement
Scope agreed before work starts
Objectives, systems, period, evidence and recipients are written down first, so results are never ambiguous.
Evidence, not assertion
Findings are supported by artefacts we can show you, and untested areas are reported as limitations.
Plain conclusions
We separate fact from interpretation and avoid blanket compliance verdicts we are not in a position to give.
Practical remediation
Every report ends with a sequenced plan, owners and effort, not a severity list nobody can act on.
FAQ
Security, risk and compliance questions
Do you issue certifications, SOC 2 reports or audit opinions?
No. SOC 2 reports come from independent CPA firms, and ISO certifications from accredited certification bodies. We deliver readiness consulting, controls assessments and governance work that prepares you for those independent engagements.
Where should we start if we have never done any of this?
Usually with an applicability conversation and a gap assessment. That establishes which requirements genuinely apply, what evidence already exists and whether your first priority is technical exposure, control discipline or documentation.
Can one engagement cover audit, compliance and AI governance?
It can, and we often phase it: assess exposure and controls first, then build the governance and evidence programme, then extend it to AI systems. Phasing keeps cost and disruption proportionate.
Do you provide ongoing monitoring or incident response?
Monitoring and incident-response support is scoped to your engagement, including coverage hours and response expectations written into the agreement. We do not advertise round-the-clock coverage as a standing service.
Can you help remediate what you find?
Yes, as separate remediation work through our IT consultancy and automation teams. Where independence matters for a third party relying on our assessment, we will say so before you decide.
