What types of risk advisory services does BPS offer?

We provide a full spectrum of services including internal audit, enterprise risk management (ERM), SOX compliance, IT and cybersecurity advisory, PCI compliance, HITRUST readiness, and third-party risk management. Whether you’re building your first risk framework or enhancing an existing one, we tailor our support to your organization.

What is the difference between risk assurance and risk advisory?

Risk assurance involves independent reporting, such as SOC reports, on controls that are already in place. Risk advisory is more consultative. It focuses on helping you design, assess, and improve those controls. Risk assurance evaluates the past, while risk advisory helps you plan for the future.

How do I know if my business is ready for an internal audit function?

If you’re growing quickly, facing increased compliance demands, preparing for an audit or transaction, or experiencing operational complexity, it may be time to formalize your internal audit function. We offer both outsourced and co-sourced models to match your internal capacity.

What is enterprise risk management (ERM) and why does it matter?

ERM is a structured process for identifying, prioritizing, and managing risks across your organization. A strong ERM program aligns risk awareness with business strategy, helping leaders make more informed and confident decisions.

We already manage risk informally. Why formalize it?

Informal risk management can lead to inconsistencies, blind spots, and missed opportunities. A formal program brings visibility, accountability, and a clear framework for prioritizing and addressing the risks that matter most.

What is the value of partnering with BPS for internal audit or ERM support?

Working with BPS gives you access to experienced professionals who understand both risk and operations. We provide practical recommendations, help fill internal gaps, and bring objectivity and efficiency to your risk management efforts.

How does BPS support SOX compliance efforts?

We assist with everything from scoping and documentation to testing and remediation. Our team helps you focus on key controls, reduce unnecessary effort, and prepare for external audits with confidence.

Do we need to be in a regulated industry to benefit from risk advisory services?

No. Risk advisory is valuable for any business looking to improve operational resilience, strengthen client trust, or prepare for growth. We work with SaaS providers, financial services firms, healthcare companies, and other fast-growing organizations across a range of industries.

What makes BPS different from other firms?

We combine deep technical knowledge with a collaborative, business-minded approach. Our senior-level professionals work directly with clients, providing thoughtful guidance and clear communication. We are focused on outcomes, not just deliverables.
