Assess
We map your current governance structures, obligations, risks, and controls against the regulators and frameworks that apply to you, then surface the gaps that matter most.
GRC consulting that takes you from uncertainty to a working operating model
Framework-first advisory for regulated institutions—from assessment to a working GRC operating model in Trigarc.
Consulting areas
Where to start
A guided GRC journey, not a guessing game
Wherever you are today—starting from scratch or fixing a program that stalled—we meet you there and move forward in clear stages: assess, design, implement, and sustain.
Design
We define the operating model: governance roles, risk appetite, policy architecture, control libraries, and reporting lines, sequenced into a practical roadmap.
Implement
We help you stand up the frameworks, write the policies, build the registers, and configure Trigarc so the model runs in real tooling rather than spreadsheets.
Sustain
We embed the rhythm: train your teams, set review cadences, and prepare your board and regulator reporting so the program keeps working after we step back.
GRC consulting services
Our consulting spans the full GRC lifecycle for regulated institutions in Kenya and East Africa. Engage us on a single area or across the whole program.
GRC Framework Design & Setup
For organisations that know they need governance, risk, and compliance discipline but do not know where to start. We establish the foundation end to end.
- Governance structure and three-lines-of-defence model
- Risk appetite statements and escalation thresholds
Regulatory Compliance Advisory
Translate the obligations of your regulators into a working compliance program, with gap assessments and examination readiness.
- Obligation mapping for CBK, SASRA, IRA, CMA, and donor frameworks
- Board & governance advisory—charters, committees, meetings, and minutes
Enterprise Risk Advisory
Build a risk function that sees exposure early and acts with accountability, aligned to ISO 31000 and your operating reality.
- Enterprise and unit-level risk assessments
- AML/CFT & fraud risk program design and CRR methodology
Internal Audit & Controls Advisory
Strengthen assurance through sound control design, tested methodology, and co-sourced internal audit capacity when you need it.
- Control design, rationalisation, and testing
- Risk-based internal audit methodology and workpapers
Information Security & Data Protection
Assess and uplift your security and data protection posture against the standards your clients and regulators expect.
- ISO 27001, SOC 2, and NIST-aligned gap assessments
- Kenya Data Protection Act compliance reviews
GRC Implementation & Enablement
Move the model out of documents and into daily operations by deploying Trigarc and enabling your teams to run it.
- Trigarc configuration to your operating model
- Phased deployment (Discovery through Go Live) and role-based workflows
Frequently asked questions
- Where should our organisation start with GRC?
- Start with a discovery session. We assess your governance maturity, regulatory obligations, and current controls, then recommend whether to begin with framework design, compliance mapping, risk, audit, or security—sequenced into a practical roadmap.
- Does Trigarc consulting require buying the platform?
- No. Advisory engagements can stand alone. Many clients combine consulting with Trigarc implementation so frameworks and controls live in one system, but we can advise on operating models and regulator readiness without a software purchase.
- Which regulators and frameworks do you support?
- We work with institutions subject to CBK, SASRA, IRA, CMA, Kenya Data Protection Act, AML/CFT requirements, and donor or NGO assurance frameworks. We also align programs to ISO 31000, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and NIST where those standards apply.
- What is included in a GRC discovery session?
- We review your sector, scope, current documentation, key risks and obligations, and tooling. You leave with clarity on gaps, priority areas, and a suggested engagement path—framework, compliance, risk, audit, security, or implementation.
- Can you help if we only use spreadsheets today?
- Yes. We regularly help teams move from spreadsheets and fragmented files to a structured GRC operating model, then implement Trigarc when you are ready so registers, evidence, and reporting stay current.
- Do you deliver co-sourced internal audit?
- Yes. Our internal audit and controls advisory includes methodology design, workpaper standards, and co-sourced or outsourced audit delivery when you need capacity without building a full in-house team immediately.
Not sure which engagement you need?
Start with a discovery session. We will assess where you are, agree the priorities, and map a practical path to a working GRC operating model—then implement in Trigarc when you are ready.
