Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Services
Integrated, insight-driven GRC that standardises policies, controls, risk processes, and reporting—enabled by leading IRM/GRC platforms (ServiceNow, SAP GRC, Archer, MetricStream, OpenPages) and aligned to COSO, ISO 31000, COBIT, and ISO 37301.

Delivered Benefits:
- Standardised, regulation-mapped control library—with a single source of truth for governance and board reporting
- Single workflow for RCSA, issues, and attestations—with clear ownership and Three Lines hand-offs
- Transparent escalations, strong investment cases, and measurable risk reduction
Regulatory Obligations & Compliance
Value Proposition: Build a live register of obligations (e.g., GDPR, DORA, NIS2, FCA/SEC/ESG), mapped to policies, controls, tests, and evidence—so you can prove compliance on demand.
Delivered Benefits:
- Traceability from obligation → control → test → evidence
- Faster responses to regulatory change and inquiries
- Reduced duplication across audits and certifications
Enterprise & IT Risk

Appetite-linked RCSA with KRIs/KCIs, unified with IT Risk & Controls (ITGC, SoD/IAM, cloud/ERP, DevOps) and CCM for continuous, forward-looking assurance.
Delivered Benefits:
- Comparable scoring; appetite-aligned dashboards across units and systems
- Early-warning KRIs/KCIs with trend insights, backed by standardised IT controls and CCM (access/change/config).
- Unified remediation workflow, clear ownership, audit-ready evidence—reduced SOX/IT audit rework
Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM)
Value Proposition: Identify high-value automated tests (access, change, config, transactional anomalies) and implement CCM within your GRC/IRM stack and key systems.
Delivered Benefits:
- Real-time control status and reduced manual testing
- Lower compliance cost and fewer last-minute surprises
- Better evidence quality for audits and regulators
GRC/IRM Platform Enablement
Value Proposition: Select, design, and implement the right platform—data model, workflows, integrations, reporting—plus DevOps-style enhancements and admin training.
Delivered Benefits:
- Faster time-to-value with proven blueprints
- Reliable evidence, lineage, and auditability
- Adoption plans that stick (roles, training, playbooks)
Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM)
Value Proposition: Tier suppliers by inherent risk, automate due diligence, and continuously monitor critical vendors—integrated with procurement and security tooling.
