01What it is for

Purpose

The governance layer applied to the firm’s own work and offered to clients: compliance obligations, risk registers, ethical standards and data protection.

The problem it solves

Governance is assembled when a bid appears or an incident occurs. By then it is evidence of a gap rather than evidence of a standard.

    Data protectionPOPIA roles established at engagement start
03Methodology

How it is applied in an engagement.

  1. 01
    Responsible party or operator role established and recorded at the start of every engagement, because the obligations differ materially.
  2. 02
    A named Information Officer is responsible for compliance.
  3. 03
    Standing compliance documents maintained continuously rather than assembled when a bid appears.
  4. 04
    Documents versioned, reviewed annually in October, reissued in November, and reviewed immediately after any failure the documentation should have prevented.
04In practice

Where it is used, and what it produces.

Book a Discovery Session

The most useful first step is a discovery conversation.

A structured session that produces a written problem statement, whether or not it leads to an engagement. If the problem is not one we should be paid to solve, we will say so.
