Governance & Regulation
Regulatory Resilience & Control Assurance
Compliance programmes that protect your organisation, not just tick boxes. We test your control environment independently, identify the gaps that matter and build programmes around the deadlines and frameworks that are actually driving board attention.
The challenge
Passing the audit and being resilient are not the same thing.
Regulated organisations now face overlapping regimes, each with its own terminology, evidence expectations and deadlines. The risk is a compliance programme that consumes the security budget while leaving the organisation no more resilient than before.
We start from the threats and the business services that matter, then map the controls that protect them to the frameworks your regulators test against. That way the evidence you produce for DORA, CAF or FedRAMP is a by-product of genuine resilience rather than a parallel exercise.
The same senior practitioner who scopes the work stays accountable for delivering it.
What you get
Outcomes, not reports.
- 01
An independent view
Where your control environment is genuinely effective, where it is fragile and where the evidence would not survive scrutiny.
- 02
Priorities that matter
Findings ranked by real-world risk and regulatory consequence, not by the length of the control catalogue.
- 03
One control set, many frameworks
A mapped control framework so that one piece of evidence can satisfy several regimes.
- 04
Programmes that deliver
Compliance programmes with clear ownership, realistic timelines and board-level reporting.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Can you act as our independent assurance provider?
Yes, provided we have not designed the controls under review. Where we have been involved in delivery, we will say so and can recommend an alternative.
Do you run threat-led testing yourselves?
We help you prepare for, scope and govern CBEST and TIBER-EU engagements and remediate the findings. The testing itself is delivered by accredited providers.
