What We Deliver
Plain language risk guidance for business aligned decisions that leaders can act on
TPRM Program Blueprint & Governance Model
We define appetite, tiers, roles, decision rights, and measures, then sequence rollout to capacity with owners and milestones. Approvals become predictable and decisions align with objectives and compliance
Control-to-Requirement Roadmap & Matrix
We map tiers to obligations and contract terms in a control-to-requirement matrix. Exit and access expectations compress audits, prevent rework, and keep programs current as rules change
AI & Emerging Tech Governance Blueprint
We deliver an AI governance blueprint with privacy, data use, IP, validation, and change management safeguards across the lifecycle. Adoption accelerates while compliance, resilience, and accountable oversight remain intact
Material Risk & Decision Framework
We translate objectives into risk appetite, thresholds, and decision standards for consistent approvals. Acceptance criteria and change triggers enable defensible ratings, go/no-go guidance, and audit ready rationale
We define the standards and roadmap; implementation is delivered through PD&E when you’re ready to build
