What We Actually Do
Compliance is not optional. GDPR fines, ISO certification requirements from enterprise customers, and Pakistan's Personal Data Protection Act are real obligations with real consequences. The good news is that for most SMEs, achieving a defensible compliance posture is a weeks-long project, not a years-long programme.
We approach GRC pragmatically. We start with a gap assessment against your specific obligations, then build the policies, controls, and documentation that address your actual risk profile - not a generic framework checklist.
For ongoing requirements, we offer fractional DPO services, ISO 27001 readiness programmes, and retained GRC advisory that keeps your compliance posture current as your business and the regulatory landscape evolve.

What We Deliver
Every deliverable is documented, signed off, and yours to keep. No black-box handovers, no knowledge held hostage.
Compliance Gap Assessment
A structured assessment of your current posture against GDPR, ISO 27001, or Pakistan PDPA, identifying gaps and categorising them by risk severity and remediation complexity.
Data Mapping & Records of Processing
A complete data flow map and Records of Processing Activities (ROPA) covering all personal data collected, processed, stored, and transferred by your organisation.
Policy & Control Library
A tailored set of information security and data protection policies - privacy notices, data retention schedules, incident response procedures, and acceptable use policies.
DPIA & Risk Register
Data Protection Impact Assessments for high-risk processing activities and a risk register with ownership, treatment decisions, and review cadences.
Vendor & Data Processor Review
Review of your data processor agreements (DPAs), sub-processor chains, and international transfer mechanisms (SCCs, adequacy decisions).
Fractional DPO Service
Ongoing Data Protection Officer coverage for organisations required to designate a DPO under GDPR, including handling of DSARs, breach notifications, and regulator correspondence.
