Non-Financial Risk
& GRC

Building resilient operational risk frameworks, compliance programs,
and governance structures that embed control without slowing down the business.

What we cover

Operational Risk
RCSAs, incident and loss management, key risk indicators, and a framework people actually use.
Regulatory Compliance
Mapping obligations to controls and proving it: Canada, the US, and the UAE (DIFC and ADGM).
GRC & Enterprise Risk
One governance, risk, and control view across the organization instead of five spreadsheets.
Technology & Cyber Risk
IT general controls, cyber posture, and technology risk the board can understand.
AI Risk & Governance
Governing AI use before a client, an insurer or a regulator asks how it works.
Financial Crime & AML
AML programs, KYC, sanctions screening, and MLRO support in regulated markets.
Business Continuity & Resilience
Continuity planning, disaster recovery, and operational resilience testing.
Third-Party Risk
Outsourcing and vendor risk: due diligence, contracts, and ongoing monitoring.

The challenge

Operational failures, compliance gaps, and governance weaknesses can damage reputation and attract regulatory scrutiny. But implementing controls shouldn't paralyze decision-making or create bureaucracy for its own sake.

Our approach

We design pragmatic GRC frameworks that work for your organization's size and complexity. We implement three lines of defense models, build RCSA processes, establish compliance monitoring, and deploy GRC platforms - all while maintaining operational efficiency.

Governance, Risk & Compliance

  • Archer & ServiceNow GRC configuration and optimization
  • Workflow and data model design
  • AI-enabled enhancements (risk documentation, classification, policy interpretation)
  • Process standardization and automation
  • Operational risk frameworks and RCSA programs
  • Three lines of defense model design
  • Regulatory change management

Control Design, Testing & Remediation

  • Control design assessment and gap analysis
  • 1LoD & 2LoD framework methodology
  • Independent control testing and results analysis
  • Quality assurance and second-line QA reviews
  • Remediation validation and closure support
  • Audit and examination readiness
  • Root cause analysis and corrective action plans
  • Evidence development for regulatory submissions

Typical outcomes

  • Fewer repeat regulatory findings through stronger control design
  • Higher first-time closure rate on remediation items
  • Controls that are well designed, consistently executed, and defensible under scrutiny
  • Scalable GRC processes supported by automation and high-quality data
  • Sustainable remediation that addresses root causes
