Governance, Risk & Compliance

Move from informal security activity to a structured, measurable program.

DTXI helps organizations define governance, manage information security risk, build or improve an ISMS, prepare for compliance expectations, and create sustainable evidence and ownership.

Service Areas

The operating components of a sustainable GRC program.

The exact combination is tailored to the organization’s maturity, obligations, size, and immediate business driver.

Information Security Governance & Policy

Governance model, roles, committees, reporting, control ownership, policy lifecycle, exceptions, standards, procedures, and operating guidance.

ISMS Development & Improvement

Organizational context, scope, interested parties, Statement of Applicability support, control mapping, evidence tracking, internal review preparation, and corrective action.

Information Security Risk Management

Risk criteria, assessments, registers, treatment plans, business-impact consideration, appetite alignment, reviews, and remediation roadmaps.

Compliance Readiness & Gap Analysis

Current-state review against applicable frameworks or requirements, evidence mapping, maturity assessment, gap prioritization, and readiness planning.

Third-Party Risk Management

Vendor inventory, questionnaires, evidence review, risk scoring, contractual considerations, reporting workflows, and supplier-risk playbooks.

Security Awareness & Culture

Role-based awareness, executive briefings, onboarding, policy communication, training support, tracking, and culture-improvement roadmaps.

Delivery Approach

Build the program around decisions and ownership.

A GRC engagement typically progresses from context and current-state evidence to target-state design, implementation support, and a measurable improvement cadence.

01

Establish context

Confirm business objectives, obligations, stakeholders, scope, existing governance, and risk criteria.

02

Assess current state

Review policies, processes, controls, evidence, risks, audit history, and operating practices.

03

Design and prioritize

Define the governance model, documentation, control ownership, risk treatments, evidence plan, and roadmap.

04

Embed and improve

Support adoption, reporting, reviews, corrective actions, training, and continual improvement.

Typical Deliverables

Practical artifacts designed for use after the engagement.

Deliverables are selected to support governance, operations, internal review, external assurance, and decision-making.

Governance & ISMS foundation

Governance model, ISMS scope and context, control ownership matrix, committee terms, reporting model, and executive roadmap.

Policy & control documentation

Policy suite, standards, procedures, SOPs, guidelines, exception process, and supporting control descriptions.

Risk & readiness package

Risk methodology, risk register, treatment plan, gap matrix, maturity view, evidence map, and Statement of Applicability support.

Third-party & awareness toolkit

Vendor questionnaires, scoring model, assessment reports, supplier playbook, awareness plan, and reporting templates.

Business Outcomes

What a well-designed GRC engagement enables.

The outputs should improve both day-to-day control and the organization’s ability to explain its posture.
