Cybersecurity, AI &
Information Governance
Where digital, cyber and AI risk are governed with clear accountability
As organisations scale digital operations and embed AI into core processes, risk exposure expands faster than traditional governance models can keep up.
​
Cybersecurity, AI and regulatory obligations are often addressed in isolation: owned by IT, compliance or external providers, while leadership remains accountable for outcomes.
​
This work sits within the broader outcomes we support across what we help organisations achieve and brings these threads together into a coherent governance model, where risk ownership, decision-making and assurance are aligned at leadership level.
What this helps you achieve
Cyber and AI risks owned at leadership level
Risk is no longer implicit or dispersed. Leadership has a clear, defensible view of cyber and AI exposure, with defined ownership and accountability beyond technical teams.
​
Evidence that survives audits and incidents
Governance, controls and evidence are designed to hold up under real scrutiny; whether from auditors, regulators, customers or during an actual incident.
​
Alignment between IT, risk and governance
Technology, risk and governance functions operate as a connected system, reducing gaps, duplication and last-minute remediation under pressure.
What this typically includes
This work combines governance design, implementation support and assurance across cybersecurity, AI and regulatory expectations.
Information security management and governance
Support across information security management systems, from gap analysis through implementation and training with emphasis on governance, risk ownership and decision-making rather than solely technical configuration.
​
AI management systems and governance design
Design and rollout of AI management systems that support responsible, transparent and accountable AI use aligned with emerging regulatory expectations and leadership oversight.
​
Regulatory readiness and remediation
Assessment of regulatory gaps, prioritisation of remediation actions and structured readiness planning ensuring obligations are understood, addressed and defensible.
​
For organisations with European operations, customers or supply-chain exposure, this work also addresses readiness for the NIS2 Directive, an EU regulatory framework that significantly expands accountability for cybersecurity risk, governance and incident response at leadership level. While NIS2 is an EU directive, its expectations increasingly influence partners, regulators and customers beyond the EU.
​
Ongoing governance and assurance support
Internal audit support, independent reviews and ongoing governance input to help organisations maintain confidence as systems, technology and regulation evolve.
How this work is approached
This work is governance-led, not tool-led.
We focus on:
-
who owns risk
-
how decisions are made
-
what evidence is required
-
how assurance is maintained over time
Standards and regulations are intelligently applied and complied with: not as ends in themselves, rather as frameworks that support clarity and credibility.
How this fits within the broader governance framework
This work often builds on an initial Digital Trust & Regulatory Readiness engagement and feeds into:
-
governance assurance and internal audit programmes
-
integrated management system design
-
leadership and capability development
It provides depth and durability, ensuring governance remains effective as scrutiny increases.
​
Many organisations pair this work with independent assurance to validate governance effectiveness, identify gaps early and reduce audit surprises. This is often delivered through our governance assurance and internal audit capability​.
Who this is for
This work is particularly relevant for organisations that:
-
operate complex digital or technology-enabled environments
-
are scaling AI capabilities
-
face increasing regulatory or customer scrutiny
-
need alignment between IT delivery and governance accountability
It may not be suitable for organisations seeking isolated technical fixes or lowest-cost compliance solutions.
​How Engagements Typically Begin
Most engagements start with a focused readiness conversation or assessment.
This allows leadership to clarify exposure, priorities and next steps before any larger programme is considered.
There is no obligation to proceed beyond this point, only clarity.​​
​
If you are responsible for cybersecurity, AI or information governance and want confidence that your approach will stand up under scrutiny: we invite you to start with a readiness conversation.
