Overview
Balance risk with opportunity
Your risk perspective and strategy can shape the balance between avoiding failure and seizing competitive opportunity. The digital revolution has transformed business operations and brought new information security risks and organisational challenges.
Companies must navigate ever-changing regulations, defend against sophisticated cyber threats, and meet stakeholder demands for transparency and performance. Growing reliance on third-party vendors adds further complexity and potential vulnerability.
At Proton, we provide holistic solutions that go beyond compliance and generic frameworks. We help businesses strengthen their security strategies with a focus on return on investment (ROI) from cybersecurity initiatives.
Our approach builds strong foundations, identifies and prioritises risks, ensures conformance with industry standards, and aligns security measures with business goals.
What we do
Our risk and compliance capabilities
Product Lifecycle Reviews
A holistic view of risk across compliance, operations, privacy, legal and marketing when you develop new, review existing or retire current products.
Implementation and Operations
Multiple regulations and standards drive up the cost of compliance. We implement and operate security controls across BCMS, ISMS, PCI DSS, HIPAA and data privacy.
Internal Audit
As the risk landscape expands, internal audit has become a critical lever for change, giving boards confidence to meet the demands of a dynamic marketplace.
Cyber Risk Quantification
Understand your risk appetite and priorities. Quantitative analysis of top cyber risks helps executives make informed, financially grounded decisions.
Readiness Assessments
Compliance is easier when you know what, when and how. We help you achieve first-attempt compliance with standards (ISMS, BCMS, PCI DSS, SOC 2) and regulations (GDPR and others).
IT Risk Assessment
Evaluate IT-related risks and align cybersecurity decisions with business goals by analysing assets, threats and potential damage, and developing mitigation plans.
Why it matters
The cost of non-compliance
The cost of non-compliance extends far beyond initial fines: financial losses, business disruption, reputational damage and legal repercussions. In some cases, it can be up to three times the cost of maintaining compliance.
Financial losses
- Fines, penalties and legal costs: Regulators impose substantial fines that vary with the severity and type of infraction, and lawsuits arising from non-compliance add significant expense.
- Increased insurance premiums: Non-compliance can raise insurance costs as insurers reassess your risk.
- Remediation and recovery costs: Repairing systems, investigating vulnerabilities and implementing stronger controls after a breach or violation can be costly.
- Revenue loss: Violations hit revenue through fines, lost deals and reduced customer trust.
Business disruption
- Operational downtime: Security incidents that stem from non-compliance can significantly disrupt operations, especially in critical industries.
- Loss of productivity: Downtime and recovery efforts reduce productivity and efficiency.
- Impact on business growth: Non-compliance can stall growth by delaying market entry, certifications and new customer relationships.
- Opportunity cost: Non-compliance can derail ongoing and prospective deals, as customers avoid organisations whose risk could cascade onto them.
Reputational damage
- Erosion of customer trust: Non-compliance can badly damage your reputation and customer trust, with long-term financial repercussions.
- Loss of existing customers: Existing customers may hesitate to continue with a non-compliant business, as it may affect their own reputation.
- Difficulty attracting talent: Non-compliance can hurt your ability to attract and retain top talent.
