Our services

Five practice areas.
One accountable firm.

Each service can be engaged independently. Most clients begin with an introductory meeting, then an audit, and extend into testing, reporting or an enterprise review as findings require.

The first step

Set up one introductory meeting

We discuss the project and your concerns — what is in scope, what is not, and whether a written engagement is warranted. No fee, and no work begins afterward unless you approve it.

AI assurance

AI systems now hold real permissions. They warrant real review.

A language model that can read company documents and act through business tools introduces risks that conventional assessments were never designed to find. AI assurance examines four layers — inputs, agents, data and hosting — under the same written scope as any other engagement.

Read the AI assurance brief Discuss an AI review
  1. I

    Inputs and content

    Manipulation through chat, files, email and web content the model reads.

  2. II

    Tools and agents

    What an agent can access, under whose credentials, and what constrains it.

  3. III

    Data and context

    What is retrieved, logged and retained — and who can see it.

  4. IV

    Models and hosting

    Training data provenance, where models run, and who can change them.

Our approach

A defined engagement, from scope to remediation.

An introductory meeting comes first. No work begins until targets, authorization, schedule and fee are written down. The same four steps apply to an audit, a test, a third-party review or an AI engagement — including work delivered internationally.

  1. 01

    Scope

    Targets, constraints, schedule and fee are agreed in writing before any work begins. If we are not the right firm, we say so here.

  2. 02

    Assess

    Automated and AI-assisted analysis, validated by a named analyst. Production impact is agreed in advance. Nothing is reported until it has been read.

  3. 03

    Report

    Prioritized findings with supporting evidence, written for operators, counsel, insurers and boards. Method, coverage and limits are stated plainly.

  4. 04

    Advise

    We review the report with your team, sequence remediation and retest on request. The engagement ends when you have a written record you can use.
