Foster understanding, enable better decisions
“During two decades working in firms of all sizes, from large regulated financial services to tech startups, I have gained some valuable insight into governance challenges. The technical core is vital, but we need a consistent handle on the bigger picture. Core challenges are centred on making and scaling the right effort. Using risk to rapidly identify priorities. That is at the core of all Infospectives offerings.”
Solidifying GRC foundations, improving communications, and risk-reduction
“That might involve AI due diligence, mapping your strategic tech GRC challenges, improving change and vendor governance, or integrating a new regulatory requirement into an existing process. It all needs to respect the nature of the organisation, business capacity, and broader objectives.”
