Providing technology platforms that assist with GRC.

GRC - Governance, Risk, and Compliance

Delivering platforms and / or services to deliver Environmental, Social and Governance compliance, policies, and practices: ensuring that a companies profits are not at the expense of the environment or the greater public good,


ESG - Environmental, Social and Governance are the three non financial standards that are used as increasingly important investor benchmarks.   Investors now take the view, either from an ethical standpoint, that they do not want to invest in a company, unless it has good environmental, social, and governance policies and practices in place, or alternatively acknowledge that a company that does not maintain effective ESG  will likely face increasing fines, social activist sanctions, and media approbation, and therefor not be a good investment.

Either way, ESG represents a key set of benchmarks that provide value significantly beyond the limited commercial scope of operation of a company.

From a cyber security perspective, more often than not, it is a supplier failing that is at the root cause of a cyber security breach.  Supply Chain or Third Party Cyber Risk Management enables visibility on how cyber resilient your suppliers are, where the risks are, and allows you to identify steps to mitigate those risks. 

Third Party risk management is essential for maintaining cyber security resilience.  

Supply Chain Cyber Risk Management

Providing services and technology solutions to help companies ensure compliance with corporate and technical security policies.

Security policies are at two levels; firstly at the GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) level, where a company defines its security policies, approves them, and ensures compliance.

Secondly, at the technical level: every piece of IT hardware, and every software application has security policies that need to be set in order to be in accordance with the company level security policy requirements.


Security Policy Management

Third-Party Risk Management covers the same set of risks as vendor or supplier risk management (financial, capacity, geo-political, natural, compliance and cyber risk) but extends beyond immediate vendors, to track and address failings or risks at any point in a supply chain.

Creating and selling computer software: whether for on premise, hybrid cloud, or cloud; whether created for commercial enterprises, not for profit, or for retail customers;  whether designed to run on a computer, a mobile device, a server, or cloud provisioned virtual hardware.

Computer software categories include:

- bespoke software designed for your needs: be it an app for your new start-up, a new website or an enterprise application for your business
- commercial off the shelf software (COTS) designed to be best in class for a specific business need or function.
- SAAS - software as a service - running from the cloud.  You don't need to do anything to support the software, you simply subscribe to the service.
- OS - operating software - the software that keeps your computer hardware, or indeed cloud hardware operating as it should
- PAAS - software that supports platform as a service - you don't need to look after the hardware, or the patching, or the provisioning, this is all done for you
- SASE - pronounced SASSY - the new software that 'virtualises' all the hardware and connectivity - so you never need to buy or look after a firewall again

Standard core business software application types include ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), MRP (Manufacturing Requirements Planning), CRM (Customer Relationship Management), Finance, Accounting, and HR - furthermore each business sector will have specific application types.

Core consumer software categories include gaming, gambling and social media as examples, but the total range of consumer software categories is vast.

The scope, function, and role of software applications is going through a generational change with the power of AI technologies.
