Practice 03 · Protect

Digital Trust, Cyber, Privacy &
Organisational Resilience.

Protect trust and critical services across cyber, privacy, technology, third parties and operational disruption. We connect governance, readiness, response and recovery so resilience becomes a management capability — not an annual exercise.

Protection sustains the ambition. We help institutions withstand shocks — cyber, operational and technological — and recover faster than their peers.

Enterprise Resilience

FERA · Continuity · Crisis

Organisations that absorb disruption and emerge stronger — powered by our proprietary FERA framework: 7 domains, CMMI 1–5 maturity.

FERA

Enterprise resilience (FERA)

FERA 7-domain maturity on a CMMI 1–5 scale — a board-ready resilience roadmap and continuous improvement.

Operational

Operational resilience

Important-business-service mapping, impact-tolerance setting and regulatory operational-resilience programmes.

BCM

Business continuity management

ISO 22301-aligned BCM frameworks, BIA with RTO/RPO, DR planning and crisis simulations. SAMA / NCEMA compliant.

Crisis

Crisis management

Crisis command structures, decision protocols, communications plans and live exercise programmes.

Supply Chain

Supply chain resilience

Supplier BCM assessment, concentration risk and resilience requirements across critical suppliers.

Testing

Scenario stress-testing

Severe-but-plausible scenarios, tabletop and live exercises that prove resilience rather than assume it.

Cyber Security & Privacy

Strategy to 24/7 Operations

End-to-end cybersecurity and data privacy — from strategy and governance through 24/7 operations. NCA ECC, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, PDPL and GDPR.

Strategy

Cyber strategy & governance

CISO-as-a-service, cyber operating model, board reporting and a multi-year capability roadmap.

NCA ECC

Assessment, uplift and continuous conformance — including CSCC for critical sectors.

ISO 27001

ISO 27001 certification & operation

Implementation, certification readiness and ongoing ISMS operation.

Operations

24/7 managed monitoring

SOC operation, incident response, threat intel and breach coordination — our managed-service offering.

PDPL / GDPR

Privacy programme

Data mapping, PIAs, consent, DSAR handling, breach response and regulator liaison.

OT

OT cybersecurity

Industrial and operational-technology security for energy, utilities and critical infrastructure.

Technology Risk Services

Engineers, Not Generalists

Managing the risks of technology adoption — from cloud migration and ITGC controls through AI governance and third-party technology risk. Delivered by engineers and practitioners.

ITGC

IT general controls

Design, testing and automation of access, change and operations controls across ERP, cloud and SaaS.

Cloud Risk

Cloud & SaaS risk

AWS, Azure, GCP — shared-responsibility models, CSPM, identity and data-sovereignty for the GCC.

Third-Party

Third-party tech risk

Vendor assessment, concentration risk and contractual risk allocation for critical technology suppliers.

AI Risk

AI model risk

Model risk management, AI governance implementation, bias & fairness testing and explainability reviews.

Data

Data risk & modelling

Data lineage, quality controls and modelling risk across analytics and reporting environments.

Project Risk

Project risk & QA

Independent assurance over major technology programmes — risk, quality and delivery confidence.

Flagship Offers

Focused entry points for cyber, privacy and resilience leaders.

Begin with the most material trust or continuity challenge and expand into a connected protection operating model as value is demonstrated.

Cyber GRC

Cyber GRC & Regulatory Compliance Cockpit

Cyber risk, framework mapping, controls, evidence, assessments, remediation and executive visibility across priority regulatory and standards obligations.

Privacy

Privacy Operating Model

Data inventory, RoPA, DPIAs, privacy risk, incidents, accountability, evidence and operating cadence for practical privacy governance.

Resilience + BCM

Organisational Resilience & BCM Programme

Critical services, dependencies, BIAs, continuity strategies, crisis governance, plans, exercises and recovery oversight across the enterprise.

Operational Resilience

Operational Resilience Accelerator

Identify critical services, map dependencies, set impact tolerances, test severe-but-plausible scenarios and convert findings into an action-led uplift plan.

How We Deliver This Capability

One capability. Four ways to engage.

Protect combines advisory, platform enablement, managed operations and capability building so cyber, privacy and resilience do not remain annual assessment exercises — but become continuous, owned and testable operating disciplines.

01 · Consulting

Design Cyber, Privacy & Resilience Capability

Build cyber GRC, technology risk, privacy, third-party risk, organisational resilience, BCM, crisis and incident-management capability. We connect regulatory expectations with practical ownership, testing and executive visibility.

02 · Platform

Operationalise through the platform

Maintain cyber risks, frameworks, controls, evidence, privacy records, third-party assessments, critical services, BIAs, plans, incidents, exercises and remediation actions in one connected operating environment.

03 · Managed Services

Keep Readiness Live

Run ongoing cyber GRC, privacy operations, resilience and BCM maintenance, exercise cadence, regulatory readiness and virtual leadership through vCISO, vDPO and vBCM models tailored to client needs.

04 · Academy

Build Awareness, Readiness & Response

Strengthen board cyber literacy, role-based privacy capability, security awareness, crisis leadership, BCM ownership and response confidence through workshops, simulations, tabletop exercises and targeted learning journeys.

The goal is continuous readiness. Consulting establishes the model, the platform keeps it visible, managed services maintain the cadence, and Academy programmes make response capability real across the organisation.
