When the problem does not fit in one box
A risk register that no longer tells the whole story. An AI trial that has raised more questions than it answered. New legislation that needs to become a workable service. A technology programme that is moving but not giving leaders enough confidence to decide what happens next.
These problems cross systems, teams and professional boundaries. We help organisations understand what is happening, decide what needs to change and carry that decision into implementation.
We build products as well as giving advice
Parapet is our Integrated Risk Management platform. It connects risk, compliance, controls, assurance and action. Pūnaha brings enterprise search, supported AI models and workflows together, with people involved where judgement matters.
Sometimes one of our products is the right answer. Sometimes the better answer is to improve an existing system, change a process or take a different path. Our consultancy starts with the decision your organisation needs to make, not with a product sale.

Start with the environment as it is
Clear recommendations across technology, obligations, processes and people.
Integrated risk management
Bring risk, controls, assurance and action together, whether that means improving the current approach, choosing a platform or planning implementation.
AI governance and implementation
Decide where AI is useful, what information it may use and how people remain accountable from the first trial through to day-to-day operation.
Cyber security and assurance
Review security architecture, controls and evidence so leaders can see the real risks, the gaps and the next decisions.
Government and legislation
Turn legislative and policy obligations into clear capabilities, services, processes and implementation decisions.
Regulation and business process
Connect obligations to practical controls, evidence and everyday work, then carry the required changes into processes and technology.
Technical project recovery
Work out what is really happening, what is blocking decisions and whether the programme should recover, reset or stop.
