Technology Risk Management for Cornwall's Growing Enterprises
Strategic IT advisory for organisations facing board-level technology decisions. We help CFOs and CEOs de-risk technology investments, maintain regulatory compliance and align IT strategy with business objectives.
Technology Risks That Keep CFOs and CEOs Awake
Enterprise technology carries strategic risk. Poor infrastructure decisions, compliance failures and inadequate business continuity planning can destroy shareholder value overnight.
Regulatory & Compliance Risk
GDPR, sector-specific regulations, professional indemnity requirements. Non-compliance means fines, reputational damage and potential director liability. Regulatory failures can result in enforcement action, loss of trading licences and personal prosecution.
- Annual regulatory compliance audits and gap analysis
- Documentation and policy framework development
- Board-ready compliance reporting and KPIs
- Third-party vendor due diligence and contracts
- Regulatory change monitoring and impact assessment
Business Continuity & Resilience
Revenue stops when systems fail. Ransomware, infrastructure failure, key person dependency. Poor BC/DR planning means extended downtime, customer defection and material financial impact. Proper resilience planning protects enterprise value.
- Business impact analysis and recovery planning
- Multi-site backup architecture with tested recovery
- Disaster recovery runbooks and crisis protocols
- Annual DR testing with board reporting
- Cyber incident response and breach management
M&A Technology Due Diligence
Acquiring a business or preparing for exit? Technology debt, cybersecurity gaps and infrastructure complexity can destroy deal value, delay completion or create post-acquisition disasters. Professional due diligence protects shareholders.
- Pre-acquisition technology due diligence
- Infrastructure assessment and integration planning
- Technology valuation and risk identification
- Post-merger integration project management
- Vendor consolidation and contract renegotiation
Strategic Technology Alignment
Technology should enable competitive advantage, not constrain growth. Misaligned IT strategy wastes capital, creates technical debt and produces competitive disadvantage. Strategic technology planning aligns investments to business objectives.
- 3-year technology roadmap aligned to business strategy
- CAPEX/OPEX planning and budget forecasting
- Vendor strategy and relationship management
- Technology investment business case development
- Competitive technology positioning analysis
