Practical IT GRC that actually works

Timberwolf helps organisations execute IT governance, risk, and compliance — not just define it. We support IT teams in meeting compliance obligations through automation, evidence collection, and continuous monitoring, ensuring governance frameworks operate effectively in the real world.

We specialise in environments where governance already exists, but delivery is inconsistent, manual, or overly dependent on individual effort.

Remove the burden and make it manageable.

The challenge

Most organisations have no shortage of policies, standards, or frameworks.

What they lack is:

• Reliable, repeatable evidence of control operation
• Governance processes that scale without slowing delivery
• Alignment between policy intent and operational reality

The result is high audit effort, frustrated IT teams, and avoidable risk.

Our focus

We operationalise governance.

That means we:

• Translate governance and compliance requirements into clear, implementable controls
• Automate evidence collection and retention across IT systems
• Provide ongoing visibility (monitoring) of compliance and control health
• Reduce reliance on manual reporting and ad‑hoc assurance activities

The outcome is sustained compliance, improved assurance, and lower operational burden.

What we deliver

Governance execution support.

We work alongside IT, security, and risk teams to embed governance requirements into everyday operations across frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, PCI-DSS, HIPAA Essential Eight, COBIT, and internal standards.

• Audit‑ready evidence
• We design and implement automated evidence pipelines that replace manual audit preparation with continuous, defensible assurance.
• Continuous compliance monitoring

We enable proactive identification of control drift, gaps, and emerging risks — well before audits or incidents force attention

Where we add most value

We are most effective in organisations where:

• Governance frameworks are established but unevenly applied
• Compliance effort is high and confidence is low
• IT teams are burdened by manual evidence and reporting
• Leadership requires assurance without unnecessary bureaucracy

This commonly includes higher education, government‑adjacent, and heavily regulated environments.

Why Timberwolf

• Execution‑focused — we close the gap between policy and practice
• Automation‑first — reducing cost and operational drag
• Framework‑agnostic — focused on outcomes, not dogma
• Sustainable — capability that endures beyond engagements
