Advisory

Even the best-managed organisations need specialist advice to mitigate risks at certain – let alone in uncertain – times.

HKA consultants help clients mitigate and manage risks in three main arenas.

Advisory services

By providing incisive and timely support at critical stages in your asset’s development or investment lifecycle, we help you achieve desired outcomes with more certainty and clarity.

We work as your trusted partner, supporting complex projects, programmes or portfolios with our integrated services, or discrete elements of these services as specialist adviser.

Our people are leading professionals with solid industry experience. They go beyond typical management consultancy to contribute insights, solutions and advice – all grounded in expert analysis and problem-solving on past projects. Understanding what can and does go wrong, they are best placed to set up organisations and projects to succeed.

HKA provides end-to-end advisory services at every level – from project to enterprise – and across the entire infrastructure lifecycle: from strategic planning, development and delivery to claims and disputes.

These services can be grouped as follows:

• Strategy & optimisation – establish your organisation’s capability, capacity and maturity, and areas for improvement
• Project development – choose the right solution to achieve your planned outcome
• Commercial advisory – discover your route to more effective procurement
• Infrastructure delivery – manage risk to secure control and certainty
• Integrated project services – apply effective controls to assure performance

The findings from our investigations are also collated and analysed as part of our integrated research programme, CRUX. We draw on this unrivalled data lake to help clients calibrate risk in various areas – from new markets to contractual frameworks – and share trends with the industry.

Cybersecurity & privacy

The cyber threat landscape is complex and rapidly evolving, posing business-critical risks to sensitive data, systems and processes.

HKA helps firms and other organisations assess their security and privacy programmes for gaps and weaknesses, and improve protection – to pre-empt breaches and recover from them.

Increasingly sophisticated regulatory requirements for maintaining the confidentiality of data set a minimum standard. Failures not only risk financial sanctions and reputational damage, they may compromise the integrity and availability of information crucial to the workings of the organisation.

As well as data characteristics, laws and regulations, we analyse the risks inherent to your business, and its needs and objectives. Our specialists in cybersecurity and privacy risk management recommend all necessary changes and support you through implementation.

Our cybersecurity and privacy advisory services cover:

• Risk management, governance & compliance
• Privacy
• Third-party and vendor risk management
• Incident response
• Training
• Government contracting compliance
• Cryptoasset operations advisory and compliance
