RISK & COMPLIANCE

Data and AI Risk, Compliance and Regulatory Advisory

Compliance that holds up when someone actually asks.

A lot of compliance work is written to survive an audit, not a genuine incident. The framework looks complete on paper, the policy has been signed off, and then something goes wrong and nobody can actually explain who was accountable for the decision that caused it.

Where we start

We build compliance and governance work starting from what would actually need to be true if a regulator, a customer, or a journalist asked hard questions tomorrow, not from what survives an audit on paper.

Grounded in real regulatory experience

We have led APRA-facing compliance work within a major bank’s risk and controls program, the kind of work that sits under prudential standards such as CPS 230, in force since 1 July 2025, covering operational risk management, and CPS 234, covering information security. We have also delivered governance advisory into a state government wagering regulator. This is grounded in having sat across the table from a regulator, not just having read the guidance.

Increasingly, this work also carries a legal and regulatory lens alongside the technical one, letting us read a requirement the way it will actually be interpreted, not just the way it is worded.

Where AI is involved, we work from the IAPP AI Governance Professional body of knowledge and align to recognised references such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001, so your governance approach can be explained and defended in terms a regulator or auditor already recognises. Where data quality and stewardship are the issue, we draw on DAMA-DMBOK, the established reference for data management practice, to make sure accountability for data is clearly assigned rather than assumed.
