Advisory services

Digital transformation and IT strategy

We assess your current systems, processes and skills, define the target state, and produce a phased roadmap with costs, benefits and risks. Recommendations are vendor-neutral.

System selection and vendor evaluation

We document requirements, prepare the request for proposal, run structured demonstrations, score vendors and support contract negotiation. We will tell you if one of our own products is a fit, and if it is not.

Internal controls and IT audit readiness

We review IT general controls, application controls, access management, change management and backups, and help close gaps before the audit. See internal controls software.

Data protection and privacy

We map personal data flows, assess compliance with applicable data protection laws, draft policies and records of processing, and design privacy controls into systems.

Cybersecurity assessment

We review your security posture, run vulnerability assessments, test staff awareness with phishing simulations and produce a prioritised remediation plan.

Fintech technology advisory

For payment companies, lenders and remittance businesses, we advise on platform architecture, processor and partner integration, security requirements, transaction monitoring and the technology evidence regulators and banking partners expect. See fintech platforms.

Process improvement and automation

We map processes, measure time and error rates, and identify automation and AI opportunities with clear business cases. See business process automation.

Project assurance and recovery

We review troubled projects, assess scope, quality and vendor performance, and recommend whether to continue, reset or stop.

Virtual CIO and CTO

Part-time technology leadership for organisations that need senior oversight without a full-time hire.

How an engagement works

1. Scoping call to understand the question and agree the outcome you need.
2. Proposal with scope, timeline, deliverables and a fixed fee where possible.
3. Discovery through interviews, system reviews and data analysis.
4. Findings and recommendations in a clear report and a presentation to your leadership.
5. Implementation support, if you want it, from our delivery teams or alongside your chosen vendor.
