How does this relate to your GRC practice?

This is the security-specific assessment. Where you need a full governance, risk and compliance programme across frameworks and obligations, our GRC practice runs that, using the same findings.

Do you use a specific risk methodology?

We use a recognised, proportionate method and keep the scoring explainable to non-specialists, because risk decisions have to be made by business owners, not by a formula.

How does a risk assessment & compliance engagement start?

With a short discovery conversation and a written view of scope, risk and the decisions to be made. That view is useful to you whether or not the work continues.

How is a risk assessment & compliance engagement priced?

Scope and, where relevant, rules of engagement are agreed in writing before any work begins, and the engagement is a fixed fee for that scope or phased with a cost envelope per phase — so you know the cost and the boundaries up front. Larger pieces of work are broken into phases with findings delivered early rather than a single invoice at the end.

Risk Assessment & Compliance

We assess security risk against your actual threat exposure and map it to the obligations you carry, so that investment and evidence follow one coherent picture rather than two disconnected exercises. We establish what matters most, compare current controls with what the risk and your obligations require, and prioritise treatment by risk reduced per unit of effort. Accepted risks are recorded and owned rather than left implicit. The output is a risk register and an evidence pack that satisfy both your own decisions and external questions.

In short

Security risk assessment and compliance work identifies your real security risks and the obligations you must evidence. It brings both into a single picture, so that security investment and the evidence you owe customers, insurers and auditors are driven by the same assessment.

What we do

The work inside risk assessment & compliance.

Asset and threat analysis

We establish which assets matter most to the business and what would plausibly attack them. This anchors the assessment in real consequences rather than a generic control list. It ensures effort concentrates on what would actually hurt if it failed.

Control gap assessment

We compare your current controls with what both the risk and your obligations require. This exposes where you are over-invested in low-risk areas and under-protected in high-risk ones. The gaps are stated clearly enough to plan and budget against.

Risk treatment planning

We prioritise treatment by the risk reduction each action delivers for the effort it takes, and record any risks you choose to accept. This keeps spending proportionate rather than chasing every finding equally. Recorded acceptance makes those decisions deliberate and owned rather than forgotten.

Evidence and reporting

We produce the risk register and evidence pack that satisfy customer questionnaires, insurer requirements and audit questions. Having this ready turns a stressful security questionnaire into a straightforward response. The same material supports your own governance and board reporting.

Risks are discussed but never recorded or owned

How an engagement runs

Discover, assess, design, deliver.

01
Discover
Understand what matters most, the obligations in play, and what the organisation is genuinely trying to protect. We agree scope and rules of engagement in writing here, so testing is bounded and authorised before it begins.
02
Assess
Test and review the systems in scope, and establish real exposure rather than theoretical risk. We gather evidence for every finding, so severity reflects what we demonstrated rather than what is merely conceivable.
03
Design
Prioritise remediation, control improvements, and architecture changes against risk and effort. We sequence the work so the exposures that matter most are closed first, within what the team can realistically do.
04
Deliver
Support remediation, retest what was fixed, and help the practice hold as the environment changes. We confirm fixes actually closed the issue, rather than taking remediation on trust.

Where we work

Delhi, India — and wherever the work is.

Fidova delivers cybersecurity consulting and technical assurance from Delhi, India, and works with clients internationally; testing and review are performed remotely against your environments, with on-site work arranged when scope requires it.

Engagements run in English, are scheduled around your time zone, and can be delivered remotely end to end, with on-site time planned where a phase genuinely benefits from being in the room.

ISO 27001 Consulting

ISO 27001 consulting prepares an information security management system for certification, from scope definition through to internal audit. It establishes a system that is genuinely operated rather than one that exists only on paper, which is what an external auditor looks for.

PCI DSS Assessment Support

PCI DSS assessment support prepares your cardholder data environment for assessment and reduces the scope you have to defend. The single most effective lever is usually scope reduction, because systems that never touch card data fall outside the requirements entirely.

Cybersecurity Awareness & Training

Cybersecurity awareness and training builds practical judgement in staff, developers and leadership, measured by behaviour rather than completion rates. The aim is that people recognise and report a threat when it reaches them, not that they have clicked through an annual module.
