Risk advisory

Transforming business risks into realised ambition

Risk advisory helps you understand, manage and respond to the risks that could materially impact your business. We operate at the intersection of technology, regulation and operations, ensuring you navigate increasing complexity with clarity and confidence.

As well as identifying risks, we focus on helping you prioritise what matters, strengthen control environments and make informed decisions that protect and enable strategic objectives.

We combine deep technical expertise with commercial awareness, meaning our advice is practical, proportionate and aligned to real-world operating environments.

Our business risk services

Cyber security

We help you assess, strengthen and evidence your cyber resilience, from penetration testing to threat assessments, governance frameworks and incident response readiness. Our consultants work with boards, IT leaders and risk professionals to ensure that security measures safeguard critical assets and enable growth, innovation and compliance with evolving cyber regulations.

Data protection

We support your organisation in meeting UK and international data protection obligations, embedding privacy by design and maintaining continuous compliance. Whether you require a data protection audit, outsourced DPO services or guidance on complex cross-border data transfers, we help you manage personal information with confidence, integrity and accountability.

AI governance

We help you adopt and scale AI responsibly by designing governance that is proportionate, auditable and aligned to your business objectives. From AI risk assessments and model inventory to policy, oversight and accountability, we support you in embedding controls across the AI lifecycle (design, procurement, development, deployment and monitoring). We advise on documentation, transparency, human oversight, bias and fairness considerations, third-party and supply chain risk, and ongoing performance monitoring, helping you demonstrate compliance with emerging regulation and meet stakeholder expectations.

Operational resilience

We help you build operational resilience across critical services by defining impact tolerances, mapping important business services and strengthening the capabilities needed to withstand disruption. From business continuity and disaster recovery to scenario testing, crisis management and third-party dependencies, we support you in maturing your plans, governance and reporting, thereby improving your incident response capabilities and overall levels of operational resilience.

Digital and AI risk

We support you in managing digital and AI risk as you transform, helping you put proportionate controls around data integrity, model risk and algorithmic oversight. This includes assessing technology change risk, strengthening governance over AI use cases and third-party tools, and establishing monitoring and assurance that your digital initiatives remain secure, compliant and aligned to your risk appetite.

Regulatory and compliance risk

We help you interpret and respond to fast-moving regulatory change by designing integrated compliance programmes that are practical to operate and easy to evidence. Whether you are preparing for SOC 2 reporting, addressing NIS2 and DORA readiness, or aligning to UK cyber resilience expectations, we support you with gap assessments, roadmap development, control design and testing, and clear governance and documentation for internal and external stakeholders.

Supply chain risk

We help you manage supply chain and third-party risk by improving vendor due diligence, contracting expectations and ongoing oversight. From outsourcing risk assessments to proportionate governance, monitoring and assurance, we support you in identifying critical dependencies, strengthening controls across suppliers and service providers, and reducing operational and compliance risk across the value chain.
