Enterprise GRC Consulting
Strategic guidance across the full GRC spectrum — from policy development and risk assessment to framework implementation and audit readiness. Clear deliverables, no jargon, real results.
The GRC Imperative
These aren't just buzzwords — they're the foundation of organizational resilience. Each pillar reinforces the others: governance provides direction, risk management protects value, and compliance demonstrates accountability. Without strategic alignment across all three, security programs fail and businesses suffer.
The structural foundation of your security program. We develop policies, procedures, standards, and process documentation that create clear accountability and align security initiatives with strategic business objectives. Good governance ensures decisions are made consistently, roles are defined, and leadership has visibility into program effectiveness.
Proactive identification, assessment, prioritization, and treatment of risks before they become incidents. We build risk management programs that quantify threats in business terms leadership understands, enabling informed decision-making about where to invest resources. Effective risk management turns uncertainty into actionable intelligence.
Cut through the noise of overlapping regulations and frameworks. We help you understand which requirements actually impact your organization, map compliance obligations to your business processes, and build programs that satisfy auditors while genuinely protecting customers. Compliance isn't just about checking boxes — it's about demonstrating trustworthiness.

About
IRONGATE Risk Partners brings over 20 years of hands-on GRC experience to every engagement. Our team has built, managed, and defended security and compliance programs from the inside — not just advised on them from the outside.
That means we're not just advising on frameworks from afar. We implement them every day. We know what actually works in the real world — and what's just audit theater.
FAQ
It depends on scope. A Strategy Call happens within the week. Policy reviews take 2-4 weeks. Full gap assessments run 4-6 weeks. We provide a specific timeline in every proposal before you commit.
We typically work with mid-market companies (50-500 employees) and growth-stage startups preparing for their first audits. For larger enterprises, we can help with specific projects but may not be the right fit for enterprise-wide programs.
You get practical, usable outputs — not 100-page reports that gather dust. Depending on the engagement: assessment workbooks, gap analyses, remediation roadmaps, policy documents, risk registers, and executive summaries. All in editable formats you can build on.
We help you prepare for audits and close gaps, but we don't conduct audits ourselves or guarantee outcomes. That said, if you follow the roadmap, you'll be in a strong position when the auditors arrive.
That's a great use case for a Strategy Call. In 60 minutes, we can map your business requirements (customers, contracts, industry) to the right framework and create a prioritized approach.
Yes. Many clients come back for periodic check-ins, audit prep refreshers, or help with new frameworks. We also offer retainer arrangements for companies that want ongoing advisory access.
