Clear oversight, reduced risk, and compliance that holds up under scrutiny

Make informed risk decisions with confidence. DNX Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) helps leadership teams understand their true cyber risk, meet regulatory expectations, and build governance that scales with the business — without slowing delivery or innovation.

We translate frameworks, controls, and technical risk into clear executive insight, board-ready reporting, and practical actions that reduce uncertainty and protect value.

What Is It?

Potential Benefits

Governance that enables progress, not bureaucracy.

What leaders and organisations gain from a strong GRC foundation

Clarity over cyber risk and exposure


Understand where risk sits today, what matters most, and what can wait. We help leadership move from assumptions and noise to a clear, prioritised risk view aligned to business objectives.

Predictable compliance, fewer surprises


Replace reactive audits and last-minute remediation with a structured, repeatable approach. Reduce disruption, audit fatigue, and unexpected cost while improving regulator and customer confidence.

Better decision-making at executive and board level


Turn technical findings into commercially meaningful insight. We provide reporting and advice that supports funding decisions, risk acceptance, and accountability at the right level.

Governance that scales with the business


As cloud platforms, data, and AI mature, governance must keep pace. Our approach ensures controls evolve without creating bottlenecks or slowing growth.

Stronger trust with customers, partners, and regulators


Demonstrate that security and compliance are well-governed, well-owned, and proportionate to risk — not just documente

Reduced operational drag


Right-size controls so teams spend less time managing compliance and more time delivering value.

FAQs

Governance, Risk & Compliance — executive questions answered

How is this different from “doing compliance”?
Compliance proves you meet a standard at a point in time. GRC ensures risk is understood, governed, and managed continuously. We focus on decision-making, accountability, and outcomes — not just evidence collection.
We align controls to your risk appetite, industry expectations, and operating model. This avoids over-engineering while still meeting regulatory and customer requirements.

Clearer risk prioritisation reduces waste, prevents unnecessary spend, and avoids costly surprises during audits, incidents, or customer due diligence. It also supports faster sales cycles in regulated markets.

Good governance removes uncertainty. When leadership understands risk and controls are predictable, teams can move faster with confidence rather than stopping for approvals, rework, or remediation.
No. Our goal is the opposite. We simplify evidence, clarify ownership, and reduce duplication so audits become predictable and far less disruptive.
GRC sets direction and accountability. Defensive and Offensive services validate and operate the controls. We align governance to what you already run, rather than forcing unnecessary change.
Yes. We meet organisations where they are. GRC is scaled to maturity, not an idealised target state.
Through board-level risk reporting, clear metrics, and advisory that translates technical security posture into business impact, trade-offs, and decisions.
Yes. Our vCISO retainers provide ongoing executive-level guidance, planning, reporting, and decision support without the overhead of a full-time role.
Most clients gain immediate clarity within the first engagement through improved visibility, prioritisation, and risk alignment — often before any tooling changes are made.
