Ethyra Advisory is an independent GRC implementation firm. We build information-security and privacy programmes that survive audits, growth, and the inevitable change of internal staff. We take a small number of engagements by design.
These aren’t marketing claims. They are the operating tenets that determine how we scope, deliver, and hand over work.
The certificate is the receipt. The real deliverable is a programme your team can run on audit day and every day after. We build that programme and document it exhaustively so a new hire can operate it on week one.
If it is not logged, ticketed, signed or recorded, it did not happen — from the auditor’s point of view or ours. We design operational evidence capture into the control itself rather than manufacturing it at audit.
We don’t run a pyramid. The person who scopes your engagement is the person who leads it. We cap concurrent engagements so each client gets the practice’s full attention.
We don’t publish client logos, case studies or identifiable anecdotes. Reference conversations happen under mutual NDA. Discretion is part of what you’re paying for.
We keep identifying details of the team off the public website by design. On a prospect call under mutual NDA, we share detailed CVs, certification IDs, and references. Here is what the bench looks like.
IRCA / Exemplar-recognised Lead Implementer certifications, with multiple first-attempt certification projects delivered across SaaS and financial services.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 practitioners with SOC 2 readiness and CPA-liaison experience across multi-tenant SaaS, fintech and managed-services providers.
IAPP-credentialed privacy professionals (CIPP/E, CIPM) with delivery experience across GDPR, UK GDPR, India DPDP 2023 and HIPAA programmes.
Large firms win on scale. Boutique firms win on attention, continuity, and the unfashionable discipline of doing the work. A few reasons clients have chosen the latter.
The same senior practitioner who scopes writes the Statement of Applicability. No hand-offs.
Every control, policy and record is shaped to your operation — not pulled from a shared template.
One team, one understanding of your context, from kickoff through post-audit remediation.
Programmes are designed for your team to run. Ongoing engagement is optional, never manufactured.
“Our view of GRC is simple. If the programme collapses the day you leave, you did not do the work. You performed an audit.” — Practice charter, Ethyra Advisory
