Operational Risk &
Compliance Advisory

Navigate complex regulatory requirements, contract flowdowns, and cyber insurance as business enablers. We translate compliance obligations into operational advantage - from CMMC and DFARS to cyber insurance optimization and supply chain risk management.

Compliance as Business Enablement

Mid-market companies face the same regulatory requirements as Fortune 500 peers but without dedicated compliance teams. We bridge that gap with practical, right-sized solutions that enable business rather than create bureaucracy.

Contract-Focused Advisory

We specialize in translating regulatory requirements into enforceable contract language that flows properly through your supply chain.

Risk Quantification

We translate technical compliance requirements into business and financial terms that boards and executives understand.

Practical Implementation

We deliver actionable roadmaps that acknowledge resource constraints - not frameworks that sit on shelves.

Advisory Services

Comprehensive risk and compliance solutions designed for the unique challenges of energy operations and their supply chains.
