Govern & Assure
Governance, Risk, and Compliance
Expert GRC leadership, from managing cyber risk and meeting compliance requirements through to ongoing assurance and continual improvement, built around how your organisation actually works.
- Experienced practitioners
- Clear decisions, not just findings
- Scope before solution
- One team across GRC
- Support that fits the requirement
GRC is not one problem. You may have a customer or regulatory requirement to satisfy, a compliance deadline, a risk register that is no longer useful, a growing supplier-assurance burden, or a security programme that needs experienced leadership.
Blackfoot provides experienced practitioners across cybersecurity governance, risk, compliance, and assurance. We take on a defined piece of work, work alongside your team through a wider programme, or stay involved to keep risk, compliance, and assurance activity moving after the immediate milestone.

How it works
- 01
Understand your requirement
We start with what is driving the need: a compliance obligation, audit, customer request, risk issue, board concern, or wider security programme.
- 02
Define the right scope
We work out what actually needs attention, who needs to be involved, and the most useful starting point.
- 03
Assess, advise, and support
Depending on the requirement, that could mean a risk assessment, gap analysis, formal assessment, programme design, implementation support, or senior GRC leadership.
- 04
Turn findings into actions
Where we find gaps, risks, or weaknesses, we help you decide what matters most and what needs to happen next.
- 05
Keeping it moving
Where the requirement continues beyond the initial project, we support remediation, ongoing assurance, and day-to-day GRC activity over time.
Why organisations come to us
- A customer, acquirer, auditor, or board needs evidence that cyber risk is being managed.
- PCI DSS, ISO 27001, or Cyber Essentials has become a commercial or assurance requirement.
- The current risk or compliance process exists, but is fragmented, manual, or difficult to trust.
- A project, supplier, or technology change has created uncertainty about risk, scope, or control requirements.
- Internal teams know there is work to do, but do not have the time or specialist experience to design and drive it.
- An annual assessment is repeatedly becoming a last-minute evidence and remediation exercise.
A consistent way of getting from problem to outcome
Our services differ, but the basic approach is consistent. We understand the objective and scope, establish the current position, work out what matters most, support the changes needed, and move towards the required assurance or operating state.
You do not need every stage. A mature team may only need independent assurance. Another client may need help from initial discovery through implementation and ongoing operation. We scope the work around the outcome, not around a fixed package.
What you get
Experienced practitioners
Work with consultants who understand risk, compliance, and assurance in practice, not just the framework on paper.
Clear decisions, not just findings
We turn assessments and reviews into prioritised actions, practical next steps, and clear management-level reporting.
Scope before solution
We start by understanding what actually applies, what matters most, and where effort is best spent before recommending work.
One team across GRC
We cover risk, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, TPRM, and vCISO support, so you do not need to coordinate several consultancies.
Support that fits the requirement
Work with Blackfoot for a focused assessment, implementation support, retained advice, or a wider ongoing GRC programme.
A route to ongoing assurance
Beyond a one-off project, we provide ongoing support or combine our expertise with the Blackfoot Clarity Platform for structured management and visibility.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to what prospective clients ask us most.
I know we need to improve GRC, but I am not sure where to start. Can you help?
Yes. You do not need to arrive with a fully defined project. We start by understanding what is driving the requirement, where the main uncertainty sits, and what the most useful first step is.
How does GRC consultancy work with the Clarity Managed Platform?
They can be used separately or together. Blackfoot's GRC consultancy gives you expert input: assessment, advice, assurance, remediation support, and ongoing guidance. Clarity provides the management layer around that work, giving you a structured way to track risks, controls, evidence, actions, and progress over time.
Do we need a full GRC programme, or can you help with one specific problem?
Either. Some clients come to us for a focused piece of work such as PCI DSS scoping, an ISO 27001 gap assessment, or a cyber risk review. Others need broader or ongoing support across several areas.
How do we know which framework or standard is right for us?
That depends on what you are trying to achieve. A customer requirement, certification target, payment obligation, board concern, or general need to improve security governance can all point to different starting points. We help you establish which applies before recommending any work.
Can you help us get through an audit or certification?
Yes. We help with readiness, remediation, evidence, and formal assessments. Where certification must remain independent, we support you through the process without blurring that distinction.
