Risk Refine

Our Story

Built By Practitioners, For Growing Teams

Risk Refine exists because compliance shouldn't feel like a tax on growth. Founders and lean teams are asked to “get SOC 2” or “figure out AI governance” without a clear roadmap—and generic consultants often deliver templates that don't survive contact with auditors.

We bring hands-on cybersecurity and GRC expertise to organizations that need audit-ready programs without hiring a full-time compliance team. Good governance should accelerate deals, not slow product velocity.

The Consultant We Are

We're not checkbox auditors or distant advisors. We're partners who roll up sleeves, configure your tools, and leave you with programs your team can run.

Practitioner-first

We've implemented controls, written policies, and sat across from auditors—not just advised from a slide deck.

Embedded, not distant

We work alongside your team with clear communication, realistic timelines, and deliverables you can operate after the engagement ends.

Automation-native

Programs are designed around Drata, etc. from day one—fewer spreadsheets, faster evidence.

Business-aligned

Compliance should unlock revenue, not block it. We prioritize what buyers and auditors need without over-engineering.

GRC Expertise

Deep experience across the frameworks and programs enterprise buyers expect—delivered with practical, operator-level detail.

SOC 2 & ISO programs

End-to-end readiness—from scoping and gap analysis through audit support and certification maintenance.

Risk & control design

Risk registers, control libraries, and policy sets that reflect how your product and teams actually work.

AI governance

NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001-aligned programs for teams shipping AI features responsibly and at speed.

Industry Tooling Partnerships

We design programs around the platforms your team will use every day—and we're an official Drata partner, not just another implementation shop.
