Expert advisory. Practitioner-led. Fully accountable.
We deliver consulting engagements directly to organisations and private equity clients. Every consultant we bring has run systems, programs, or transactions in their domain, not advised from the sideline.
The same consultant who scopes your engagement runs it. They own the roadmap, lead implementation, and stay through value delivery.
Our consultants on average have delivered 100+ engagements with average experience of 12 years across private equity sponsors, portfolio companies, mid-market enterprises, global financial institutions, and Fortune 500 teams across the US and EU.
Technical Depth. Business Judgment. Value Creation.
Our practice areas reflect where our consultants have been domain experts, not where we've been theoretically trained to advise.
Technology, Cyber & Privacy Due Diligence
Buy-side, sell-side, and vendor due diligence across architecture, cloud configuration, codebase quality, cybersecurity posture, and data privacy compliance. Findings tied to valuation, SPA provisions, and post-close plans, with risks translated into EBITDA, cash flow, and enterprise value impact.
Cyber & Privacy Risk Quantification
Scenario-based modeling that links cybersecurity and data privacy risks to financial exposure, regulatory penalties, cost of inaction, EBITDA impact, and ROI. Built for CFOs, boards, and deal teams.
Regulatory & Privacy Framework Alignment
Alignment to NIS2, DORA, GDPR, CRA, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and cross-border requirements turned into executable plans. We stay through implementation until controls and privacy obligations are live and audit-ready.
Cyber Risk & Maturity Assessment
Hands-on review of networks, data flows, identity, segmentation, cloud controls, and data handling practices. Benchmarked against peers and regulators, with prioritized remediation plans that include owners, timelines, and budget.
Engineering, Architecture & Codebase Review
Deep review of infrastructure, cloud configuration, production codebases, and data handling patterns. Architecture recommendations tied to scalability, resilience, operating cost, and privacy-by-design principles.
AI Enablement & Secure Deployment
AI built into production workflows with adoption support, governance, security, and privacy controls, with measurable KPIs and KRIs. Use cases selected for clear operational impact and regulatory safety.
Management & Operational AI Training & Workshops
Hands-on AI training and workshops for executives, managers, and operational teams. Custom curricula on practical use cases, governance, security, and adoption patterns — tuned to your sector and operating model so the team leaves with skills, not slideware.
Including integrations, carve-outs, cloud cost reduction, codebase audits, cyber remediation, and post-close value-creation programs.
We've run the systems, owned the P&L, and stood in front of the regulators. We bring that to every engagement.
The outputs each engagement produces.
Concrete artifacts that boards, deal teams, CFOs, and operators use directly. Each one is written in the language of the audience who has to act on it.
Quantified exposure models
FAIR-based scenarios linking cyber and privacy risk to EBITDA, capex, regulatory penalties, and cost of inaction.
AI governance operating model
Control mappings, ownership structure, and board oversight cadence for AI deployment and agent security.
Regulatory readiness assessments
Gap analyses and executable roadmaps for NIS2, DORA, GDPR, EU AI Act, CRA, ISO 27001, and sector-specific requirements.
Cyber & privacy due diligence reports
Findings tied directly to SPA reps, warranties, indemnities, and post-close conditions, with valuation impact quantified.
Architecture & codebase reviews
Deep technical findings with prioritized remediation plans, owners, timelines, and budget.
Third-party & supply chain risk registers
Vendor exposure mapping, concentration risk analysis, and contractual remediation paths.
Board exposure briefs
Governance dashboards and short-form briefs translating technical posture into directors' oversight terms.
Post-close remediation roadmaps
100-day and 12-month plans for carve-outs, integrations, and value-creation programs with named accountables.
Cyber insurance alignment
Posture analysis matched to coverage, exclusions, and underwriter expectations, with quantified gaps and a remediation plan.
The scope of each artifact is set by the strategic objective, deal thesis, or investment mandate we agree on at the start of the engagement.
The same principal. Start to finish.
Scope & Plan
We scope the engagement, define the approach, and commit to the plan before execution starts.
Execute & Implement
We run the assessment, own the roadmap, and lead implementation. Hands-on execution, not advisory-only.
Deliver Value
Outputs in business terms: quantified exposure, prioritized actions, and clear cost of inaction. Board-ready and execution-focused.
From codebase reviews to board decisions and enterprise-scale execution.
Results, not reports.
Technical Risk Driving EBITDA Decisions
Advised global enterprises on architecture reviews, cloud migrations, DevSecOps, and regulatory readiness, informing deal structuring, escrow provisions, and post-close plans tied to EBITDA and enterprise value.
Portfolio Cyber Governance at Scale
Served as vCISO across portfolio companies for a multi-billion dollar fund. Built governance aligned to DORA, NIS2, and GDPR, reducing financial risk exposure by an average of 6% and increasing security investment through board-level KPIs, KRIs, and LP reporting.
Security Architecture for EV Manufacturer
Directed supply-chain and enterprise security architecture during a major transformation, standardizing security baselines across plants and suppliers, avoiding duplicate tooling, and reducing operating cost.
Payment Card Industry Scope
Delivered enterprise payment security transformation cutting regulatory scope across retail payment environments and saving $3M+ in capital. Built financial control automation testing which materially reduced audit time to accelerate remediation and reduce potential financial risk.
Post Merger, Zero-Trust
Led platform security integration across 30,000+ endpoints, deploying micro-segmentation, EDR, and automation at enterprise scale.
Built for decision-makers who need operators, not just advisors.
Need someone who can read the architecture and defend it in the boardroom, not a checklist reviewer.
Need risk translated into exposure, cost of inaction, and ROI on remediation, not another PDF of findings.
Need diligence tied to the deal thesis, SPA terms, and post-close value creation, not template reports and scores.
Need architecture reviews and modernization plans from people who've built and run production systems.
Practitioner perspectives on what we do.
Regulatory Compliance
The EU's Single Entry Point Solves the Regulator's Problem. The Operator Still Needs a Crosswalk.
The Digital Omnibus consolidates incident reporting into one ENISA-run portal. The five underlying regimes do not go away. The work moves upstream, into the controls crosswalk.
Regulatory Compliance
The EU's High-Risk AI Filter: Inside the May 2026 Draft Guidelines
On 19 May 2026 the European Commission published draft guidelines clarifying when an AI system is high-risk under Article 6. The exceptions are narrower than the market assumed.
M&A Due Diligence
Sponsor Liability for Portfolio Cyber Failures: A Practitioner's Defense Playbook After Bain/PowerSchool
A US court let negligence claims against Bain Capital proceed for a portfolio company's breach. The cost of weak cyber diligence is no longer just a write-down, it's the sponsor named in the suit. A five-layer defense.
How we engage, from anchor to translation.
Every engagement runs through four stages. It produces one body of work that the board reads as governance, the deal team reads as thesis impact, and the engineers read as a roadmap.
Anchor
We tie the work to your strategic objective, deal thesis, or investment mandate. Stakeholders, success criteria, and materiality thresholds are agreed before scoping.
Mine
Before the first interview we map the external footprint: regulatory exposure, public filings, breach history, vendor concentration, loss runs, market signals.
Connect
Each finding is pulled through every workstream it touches, from tech and cyber out to commercial, finance, legal, and operations.
Translate
One body of analysis produces the artifact each audience uses: board brief, CFO impact model, deal-team thesis memo, technical roadmap.
