Governance, Risk & Compliance · Govern
Regulatory obligations arrive as legal text, which is rarely specific about what a particular team must do each day. We establish which regulations actually apply given your markets, data and activities, then translate their requirements into operating controls with clear responsibilities. The emphasis is on compliance that is demonstrable in normal operation — the evidence is a by-product of the work, not a separate exercise before an inspection. We are not a law firm and do not give legal opinions; we build the operational side and work alongside your legal advisers where interpretation is needed.
In short
Regulatory compliance work establishes which regulations apply to you, what they require operationally, and how compliance is evidenced. It turns legal text into specific controls and the records that demonstrate they operate.
Start a conversationWhat we do
We establish which regulations apply given your markets, data, customers and activities, rather than assuming either the widest or the narrowest reading. Getting applicability right at the outset avoids both the cost of over-compliance and the exposure of missing an obligation. Where applicability is genuinely uncertain, we say so and flag it for legal interpretation.
We turn legal text into specific operating controls and named responsibilities. A requirement that stays as a quotation of the regulation cannot be operated or tested; one expressed as a concrete action with an owner can. This translation is where most of the value sits, and it is done with the process owners who will have to live with it.
We work with process owners to embed controls into daily operation rather than bolting them on afterwards. Controls that fit the existing workflow get followed; controls that fight it get quietly abandoned. We adjust the design where the operational reality requires it, provided the obligation is still met.
We establish the records that demonstrate compliance to a regulator or large customer, drawn wherever possible from evidence the process already produces. This means a request for proof can be answered from standing records rather than a scramble. We also set the reporting format so the compliance position can be stated without reconstructing it each time.

Documented output your teams keep and can act on without us in the room.
When this work helps
How an engagement runs
Establish the obligations, decision rights, and risks that genuinely matter to this organisation. We separate the requirements that truly apply from those assumed to, so effort is not spent governing risks you do not carry.
Review existing controls, policy, evidence, and how the work is actually performed. We compare the control on paper with the control in practice, because the gap between the two is usually where the real risk sits.
Design a proportionate control set with named ownership, evidence, and review cadence. Every control has an owner who can operate it and a defined source of evidence, so nothing depends on memory or heroics.
Embed the changes with the teams doing the work, and test that the controls operate. We hand over controls the process owners can run themselves, rather than a framework only we understand.
Where we work
Fidova provides governance, risk and compliance consulting from Delhi, India, and works with organisations operating in several jurisdictions at once, mapping obligations across regions to one coherent control set.
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.

Information security governance establishes who decides, who owns and who reports on security across the organisation. It is the structure of accountability and decision-making that turns security spending and policy into outcomes.
Security policy and framework development produces documentation short enough to read and specific enough to follow. It gives each policy a real obligation behind it and an owner in front of it, so the set stays current instead of ageing in a shared drive.
ISO 27001 consulting and implementation builds and operates an information security management system ready for certification. It produces a system that runs and generates evidence, not a folder of documents that satisfies nobody at the audit.
