Governance, Risk & Compliance Services Australia

Meet legal and regulatory compliance obligations through expert guidance to manage and assess your risks.

We know that every firm is different, so our tailored GRC services and solutions help you to stay secure, compliant and prepared for whatever comes next.

Specialised GRC Solutions for Law Firms

Law firms face unique regulatory challenges and heightened cyber security risks. Client confidentiality, data protection, and professional obligations demand specialised governance, risk, and compliance frameworks.

Proven Track Record: We've helped law firms answer thousands of security questionnaires, manage compliance frameworks, and maintain robust security postures that protect both firm and client interests.

Stop wasting hours on compliance requests

We have walked in your shoes having responded to thousands of client panel compliance requirements, 3rd party risk assessments and cyber insurance requests.  We know the burden.

Why waste your valuable time responding to these requests that take hours out of your working day when you can be doing something more productive?

The hidden costs of compliance

Client Panel Applications

The Reality: Major client sends 200-question security assessment. Partners and IT scramble for days gathering evidence, creating documents, and coordinating responses.

The Cost: 12+ hours of senior lawyer and security operation managers time, delayed client onboarding, potential panel rejection.

3rd Party Risk Assessments

The Reality: Every new enterprise client demands detailed security documentation. You're recreating the same evidence packages over and over.

The Cost: Repetitive work, inconsistent responses, missed business opportunities.

Cyber Insurance Renewals

The Reality: Annual renewal questionnaires become more complex each year. Insurers demand proof of controls and processes you may not have documented.

The Cost: Premium increases, coverage gaps, last-minute policy scrambles.

The real cost isn't compliance - It's inefficiency

You're not just losing time on each request. You're losing opportunities to:

  • Win new clients who value security preparedness
  • Focus lawyers on billable work instead of administrative tasks
  • Build systematic processes that scale with your firm
  • Present your firm as a security-conscious market leader
