Risk Assessment & 
Compliance Solutions

Science is complex. Your compliance program shouldn’t be.

Helping you move the risk needle by demystifying compliance, identifying gaps, creating a plan to follow through on key risk decisions and educating your people to make it stick.

 1

Risk Assessment

  • Figure out your most important risk
     

  • Develop a game plan to implement new controls or increase oversight
     

  • Look across the organization and point out where to invest your compliance budget

2

Compliance

  • Develop simple, effective compliance solutions to mitigate risk at every step from idea through product maturity.
     

  • Program architect for smaller companies. Get your compliance program off the ground, put a structure in place, identify essential controls and draft foundational documents including code of conduct and policies.
     

  • Simplify program for bigger companies. Revamp and improve existing compliance programs. Help put risk positions, decisions and control systems in place for new issues that come into the picture.
     

  • Integrate compliance for acquired companies. Compare fundamental elements of both systems, identify best practices and gaps, leverage the relative strengths from each to propose a practical way forward and support the newly integrated team in leading the organization through change.

Having built a compliance program from the ground up, I understand what it takes to overcome organizational inertia.  And having served on the executive leadership team of a mature program for more than a decade, I’ve learned a lot about what works – and what doesn’t.

I can help leaders identify key issues and bridge between data scientists and IT professionals to build risk management programs that analyze, prioritize and address an organization’s most significant risks. We work through what needs to be put into place and evolve your program to keep up with changing business practices and government expectations.

Business Presentation

How do we make
the program stick?

Having a great strategy is one thing. Executing on it is another. Once the difficult issues have been analyzed, companies need a plan for following through on key risk decisions.​
 

I emphasize ethical decision making and embedded controls to incorporate compliance into everyday processes to achieve a culture of compliance at all levels of the company.

 

As someone who genuinely enjoys teaching, I focus on training in a way that enables people in your organization to walk away with a better understanding of what needs to be done and why. I’ve learned from experience that once people get the whole picture, they’re much more likely to follow through on an agreed approach and recognize problem areas in the future.
