Providing the support your business needs to meet its regulatory requirements from initial assessment into business as usual.
In an increasingly complex regulatory landscape, our Assurance services focus on supporting your business to identify, assess and deliver significant change.
Our Assurance Services include
Data Protection
We provide a targeted Data Protection Health Check service to support all types of organisations and businesses. Our Health Checks provide a structured and informative review of compliance with GDPR and local data protection legislation using a tried-and-tested set of tools tailored to individual business needs.
They focus on both business and IT requirements, looking at what personal information is held and processed and what data protection risks exist. The output is a bespoke report and plan to allow your business to move towards compliance and ensure you maintain compliance.
Risk Management
We support organisations to understand their approach to, and execution of, risk governance. This helps drive better identification and management of risks, and ultimately assists organisations in making better decisions. Our team consists of highly experienced and skilled professionals who work collaboratively with our clients to positively influence their approach to risk governance.
Operational Resilience
We support organisations to develop a fit-for-purpose approach to evidence compliance with the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA)Operational Resilience rules. This includes the organisation’s approach to identifying and mapping important business services, setting impact tolerances, and delivery of scenario testing to meet regulatory requirements. Working alongside the client, our team supports organisations in building an effective and compliant operational resilience framework across the end-to-end business model.
Outsourcing
We can support your organisation in developing what you need to establish and manage your outsourcing arrangements. We help clients to develop their outsourcing approach, engage with the regulators, select service providers, manage delivery, and establish processes for the ongoing management of their relationships. Ultimately, we focus on implementing appropriate oversight and control over outsourcing arrangements and working with you to align with the required regulatory standards.
We have the skills and experience to support organisations to design and implement regulatory change projects into business as usual.
Whether it’s delivering technology solutions, improving processes and procedures, or implementing new regulatory requirements, we can help by providing the project structure and business analysis expertise to successfully identify, assess and deliver regulatory change.
Our experience of regulatory and compliance projects includes:
