Security governance, risk & compliance
Translate security and privacy requirements into responsibilities, controls, and evidence. Build a programme your organisation can operate and improve over time.
Discuss your requirements
Start with the organisation and its obligations
Requirements depend on the organisation, its activities, and the role it plays in a supply chain. We help map systems, information, suppliers, and responsibilities, then assess gaps between current practice and the relevant security and privacy requirements. GDPR, NIS2, DORA, and ISO/IEC 27001 can inform the work where applicable.
The assessment produces a prioritised programme, with control owners, evidence requirements, and realistic implementation steps. Legal applicability and interpretations should be confirmed with the appropriate advisers.
Make governance part of daily work
Policies become useful when teams know how to apply them. We help with risk registers, access reviews, supplier assessments, incident procedures, continuity planning, awareness, and management reporting. CISO-as-a-Service and DPO support can add specialist capacity within a clearly defined mandate.
Readiness reviews and internal evidence checks help prepare for customer assessments or independent audits. Consulting and preparation do not constitute certification, and no service can guarantee that every regulatory obligation has been met.
Turn overlapping requirements into an evidence plan
Organisations may face regulatory obligations, customer questionnaires, contractual commitments and internal policy at the same time. We identify the applicable scope with the responsible advisers and map shared control evidence so teams can see where one operating process supports several requirements. The work produces named owners and review dates rather than a disconnected collection of policy documents.
Security gap assessment and prioritised remediation
A practical assessment considers critical information, asset ownership, identity controls, suppliers, incident arrangements and recovery dependencies. Gaps are described in terms of the process that is missing or ineffective and the evidence needed to demonstrate improvement. The resulting roadmap distinguishes immediate exposure, foundational work and longer-term maturity, with dependencies that management can use when allocating resources.
CISO and DPO support with clear responsibilities
An advisory engagement can help organise security or privacy activity, challenge proposed controls and prepare management reporting. The mandate should specify decision rights, conflicts, reporting channels and the responsibilities that remain within the organisation. We define how technical security support coordinates with privacy and legal advice, rather than treating the CISO and DPO as interchangeable roles.
Prepare for review through operating evidence
A policy is most useful when its implementation can be demonstrated. We can help organise records such as access reviews, change approvals, supplier assessments, exercise findings and tracked remediation. A readiness review highlights missing evidence and inconsistent operation before an external assessment. Independent certification and regulatory decisions remain with the relevant authorised bodies.

Common questions
Can you certify us to ISO 27001?
We support readiness, implementation, and audit preparation. Certification is issued by an independent certification body.
Does every business fall under NIS2 or DORA?
Applicability depends on factors such as sector, activities, size, and role. Scope should be assessed for your organisation using the current requirements.
Can you help with a customer security questionnaire?
Yes. We review the questions against the actual environment, identify supporting evidence and flag claims that need qualification. Where a requested control is missing, the response should explain the current position and an agreed improvement plan.
Can work begin before our regulatory scope is fully clarified?
Initial asset and responsibility mapping can be useful while the responsible legal advisers clarify applicability. We distinguish this preparatory work from conclusions about a specific obligation.
