Compliance & Risk Management
A policy nobody knows protects nobody.
Identifying relevant rules and risks and setting up the organisation, policies and controls to manage them. The result is a documented management system in operation; legal advice comes from licensed lawyers.
Usual
What you often get
Policies from a template, signed and filed. A risk register that gets updated once a year for the audit report. And when an authority or the bank asks questions, the hunt for evidence begins.

What you get from us
A system that runs alongside operations: clear responsibilities, controls in real processes, evidence created along the way. Legal assessments come from law firms we appoint on your behalf and coordinate. Our cybersecurity & identity management practice sets up the technical protection.
Service components
6 components. Where a licence is required, we coordinate.
Marked components require a licence, so they always come as part of a wider engagement. Licensed partners carry them out; we appoint them on your behalf and coordinate.
-
Organisation, responsibilities and processes for rule compliance.
-
Internal policies written, rolled out and kept current; legal review by lawyers.
Note: Legal advice and the drafting and review of contracts are handled by law firms. We appoint them on your behalf and coordinate.
-
Identifying, assessing and steering business risks in a risk register.
-
Controls that make processes reliable and auditable.
-
GDPR organisation, records and processes; legal assessments by lawyers.
Note: Legal advice and the drafting and review of contracts are handled by law firms. We appoint them on your behalf and coordinate.

What you'll have at the end. Results you can check.
- A documented compliance management system with responsibilities, processes and reporting lines.
- A risk register with assessment, measures and an owner for each risk.
- Documented controls in key processes, with a record of who checked what and when.
- A record of processing activities and practised procedures for access requests and data breaches.
- An internal reporting channel, set up with a documented procedure for every report.
When you need this. And how you'll know.
- A new regulation applies to you, but it's unclear who is responsible.
- Your bank or insurer asks about your risk management, and there isn't any.
- Tenders require evidence on compliance and data protection.
- Your team already works with AI, but there are no rules for it yet.
Rarely alone. Never bundled.
Compliance & Risk Management often works together with these services. We'll tell you honestly when a combination makes sense, and when it doesn't.
Shows up in these initiatives.
You don't need a whole initiative to get Compliance & Risk Management. These examples show where the service is often needed.
Good questions. Straight answers.
Do you check whether we're legally compliant?
No. Legal assessments come from a law firm that we appoint on your behalf, and that can be your existing one.
We organise the implementation: responsibilities, processes, controls and evidence.
Can we get just data protection from you?
Not as a single component. Data protection needs legal assessments, so it's always part of a wider engagement.
Compliance management, risk management and the internal control system, on the other hand, are available on their own.
Does a smaller company even need such a system?
Yes, just a smaller one. A company of manageable size doesn't need a corporate manual. It needs clear responsibilities, a few controls in the right places and evidence that can be found.
Does this help with supply chain obligations too?
Yes, together with supply chain risk & resilience. That service covers risks in the supply chain, this one covers responsibilities and reporting within your own company. That way both sides fit together.
Proof first. Contract second.
In the free Initiative Check, we listen for 45 minutes and ask the questions that usually only come up after the contract is signed. Then you get a short written assessment: what we see, how we would go about it and roughly what it would take.
No obligation. And if we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.
