What it covers

Four areas, one joined-up view.

Most businesses look at these separately, if at all. The real risks sit in the gaps between them.

Financial controls

Approvals, segregation of duties, reconciliations and month-end processes that keep the numbers right and stand up to scrutiny.

Fraud prevention

Controls over payments and bank-detail changes that stop invoice fraud and supplier impersonation, the costliest risk many SMEs face.

Cyber risk

Understanding how exposed your systems, data and people are, and what a cyber incident would cost the business.

Operational resilience

Backups, continuity plans and incident readiness, so the business can keep trading if systems or key people are unavailable.

Why finance and security together

Most business risks don't stay in one department.

A finance specialist might spot that bank-detail changes are approved by email. A security specialist might find that backups are not isolated. We connect the two and tell you which matters more for your business.

  • A fake supplier invoice

    Starts as a compromised email account. Ends as money that cannot be recovered. The fix is a payment control, not just a technical one.

  • A ransomware attack

    Starts in IT. Becomes a cash flow problem within days, as invoicing, production and dispatch stop.

  • A key person leaving

    Takes knowledge of systems, passwords and processes with them unless controls and documentation are in place.
