Governance & Compliance

Legislation and regulation are becoming more stringent, obliging organisations to manage data securely in a landscape where cyber threat is increasing exponentially, whilst penalties for breach are becoming ever more punitive.

Organisations today manage more data than ever before, so making mistakes with data is almost inevitable. Anyone can make a Subject Access Request (SAR) for data that you may hold, and a data breach can sometimes be catastrophic.

This is why you need expert help to design the right processes, controls and systems to mitigate your risk and achieve the necessary compliance for your organisation. We help you do that and more.

Organisations often don’t invest in risk governance because it’s considered a ‘high level’ service, only for corporate giants. If that describes you, we strongly suggest you reconsider.

Every public sector organisation has compliance obligations. In the commercial world your accreditations could be a competitive difference. Regardless of sector, size or scale, every organisation has a duty of care to its people, its partners and itself, to manage its data securely and effectively and limit risk.

Governance and compliance are generally linked to scale and complexity. Larger and more complex organisations invariably oblige more effort. Conversely, smaller organisations often find compliance easier to achieve but, in all circumstances, an independent, objective assessment of data, security and controls is an essential stepping-stone towards risk mitigation.
