Technology advisory for finance and insurance.
Financial services and insurance firms modernize under scrutiny. Uptime expectations are high, privacy and compliance obligations are heavy, and every vendor says it is compliant. The work is telling the ones who can show it from the ones who cannot.
The cost of getting it wrong.
Breach cost, ransomware exposure, and a reporting clock that starts at discovery.
Two environments.
Branches and agencies look different and answer to the same regulators.
Evidence before the signature.
Every provider in this market says it is compliant.
We assess your infrastructure, providers, risks, and gaps, then define requirements around security, compliance, continuity, and budget. Providers are compared across several ecosystems on the same criteria, and the evidence each one offers goes on the sheet next to the claim.
We help align stakeholders on the selection and stay engaged through implementation, when the promises meet the environment.
- Compliance evidence requested, not assumed
- Uptime commitments compared on one sheet
- Recording and retention in the requirement
- What your insurer will ask, answered in advance
How an engagement runs.
The same order in every industry. What changes is the rulebook the decision has to satisfy.

- Write the requirementIncluding the rules the purchase has to satisfy
- CompareEvery option on one sheet, the incumbent and doing nothing included
- Decide and documentA rationale that survives an auditor, an insurer, or a board
- Stay engagedThrough implementation, and the review six months in

Bill analysisQuestions we hear from finance and insurance firms.
The ones we hear most, with straight answers.
All questionsCan you evaluate vendors against our regulatory obligations?
Yes. The obligations are written into the requirement before any provider is compared, and each provider is asked for evidence rather than assurances. The final sheet shows the claim and the evidence side by side.
Do you replace our compliance team or auditors?
No. We make sure technology decisions respect the obligations they already manage, and we document the reasoning in a form they can use.
How do you stay independent when providers pay you?
By disclosure. When a provider would compensate us, you are told which one and how, in writing, before you decide, and the options that pay us nothing sit on the same sheet. See the Transparency Standard.
