Mitigating risk and responding to regulatory change

Manage complex and evolving risks and regulations comprehensively and quickly to protect your business and uncover new growth opportunities

Risk is everywhere, evolving alongside increasingly complex regulations. It's crucial for organisations to understand and manage these shifts and changes - not just to stay resilient and compliant, but to seize them as growth opportunities.

Organisations face diverse risks, from geopolitical, technological, cyber threats, data and AI to customer-focused issues.

They also face regulatory challenges. Being prepared for emerging regulations and regulatory divergence is crucial to avoid regulatory breaches and penalties. The most highly regulated sectors, in particular, such as banking, insurance, pharma and energy continue to experience increasingly complex regulatory environments, while others like technology face new regulatory demands.

For too long, the focus has been on mitigating risk. Now, it’s about seeing risk as a way to drive growth and reinvention, from a deeper understanding of customers for better products to using data more effectively to drive insight and innovate.

We’ll work closely with you to navigate uncertain and changeable environments, quickly and with confidence. From volatile international trading environments, cybersecurity and financial crime to third-party risk management, we bring diverse teams, technology and data, and sector expertise together to manage risks while meeting regulatory obligations.

If your organisation is subject to complex regulations, we have the expertise to advise you within your sector. Whether it’s banking reforms, Pillar 2 tax rules, adhering to energy standards, pharma safety, or tech regulations like the AI Act, we provide insights on specific and cross-sector regulations to guide your response.

We're also able to advise on the ever-evolving ESG reporting landscape. With experience spanning 30 years, our experts can support you on a wide range of sustainability reporting areas, such as CSRD preparedness, TCFD analysis, gender pay gap reporting, climate risk modelling, and government regulation.

Explore how we can help you find the necessary skills, tools and cloud technologies to protect your organisation and find new sources of value. We engage closely with clients, regulators, and industry bodies to keep you ahead of the regulatory curve.

Data is a powerful tool for any organisation, but in highly regulated and complex environments, it requires careful handling. Compliance with legislative requirements is crucial to avoid financial and reputational damage from breaches.

Yet viewing data protection solely as a risk may ignore its potential to contribute to both business growth and sustainability targets.

Data should be secure, well-managed, recognised as an asset, and used ethically to maintain trust.

Our experts span every industry and specialism to help you unlock its potential to transform your organisation and create sustainable outcomes.
