Built by people who have done this from inside the platforms.
We do not just tell you how to solve the problem. We build the solution.
ForDep combines Forward Deployed Engineering and Solutions Engineering leadership from leading GRC technology companies with top-tier audit and advisory experience optimizing GRC programs and leveraging modern technology to best mitigate risk.
We have sat on all sides of the table: running enterprise GRC programs, auditing enterprise GRC programs, and building the software that runs them. Modern platforms are powerful, but enterprise controls, evidence and risk processes are complex regardless of the tooling. Closing that gap is what we do.
GRC is a craft.
GRC technology only generates value when it is purposefully designed and implemented for the organization it serves. Getting that right takes judgment, care and deep expertise in both GRC and engineering. That is a craft, and it is the reason ForDep exists.
Why ForDep
GRC expertise first
We understand controls, evidence, frameworks and audits before any implementation work begins.
Hands-on execution
We implement, integrate and build. Not decks, not recommendations, not project plans for someone else to run.
FDE on demand
Embed a GRC FDE for exactly the engagement you need, without building an internal platform team.
Enterprise complexity, handled
Frameworks overlap, controls carry exceptions, and evidence lives across a dozen systems. We translate that complexity into a correct, working implementation.
What ForDep is not
- Not an audit firm. We do not assess your compliance, we build the systems that support it.
- Not a traditional consultancy. We do not hand off recommendations for someone else to build.
- Not a generalist dev shop. Everyone at ForDep has hands-on GRC platform experience.
