Risk, Compliance & Resilience

Service Description

Protection and preparedness advanced in step with change. We mapped obligations—from UK GDPR to sector-specific rules—into a practical control library aligned to an ISO-style ISMS with clear ownership and evidence. The risk framework was refreshed so scoring reflected reality, and key risks were connected to the Board’s existing reporting.

Incident response and crisis communications playbooks were written in plain language and tested through tabletop exercises that revealed gaps before any real event could occur. Business continuity planning became specific about RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective), and supplier risk moved from a blind spot to a managed discipline with an assurance cadence. Cybersecurity improved because the right controls were proportionate and lived in daily practice; operational resilience improved because people rehearsed it.

We operationalised risk and compliance with a framework that connected a living register, sensible scoring, and KRIs (Key Risk Indicators) to the decisions leaders were already making. The control library mapped legal and regulatory obligations, including UK GDPR, into an ISO-aligned ISMS with owners, evidence, and tests. We wrote and rehearsed incident response and crisis communications so that when something happened, people knew what to do and who to tell.

Business Impact Analysis led to continuity and disaster recovery plans with real RTO and RPO commitments, and supplier risk moved into a dashboard and assurance calendar that removed surprises from the supply chain. We prepared audit evidence packs and DPIAs (Data Protection Impact Assessments) where needed and left a security improvement roadmap with metrics that helped executives see progress.

Summary: IVARTY hardwires proportionate controls, continuity, and incident readiness into day-to-day operations. The result is fewer surprises, quicker recovery, and regulator-ready evidence—without the bureaucracy that slows delivery.
