Risk and Cybersecurity
"I prefer to be alive, so I'm cautious about taking risks.." ~ Werner Herzog
Executive Clarity Meets Operational Confidence
Too often, cyber and enterprise risks are siloed. They're understood technically, but not translated into business value. We change that. Yates builds governance models and executive engagement tools that integrate risk into the strategic conversation ensuring clarity, accountability, and momentum. Our approach balances board-level transparency with operational practicality, meaning your teams are empowered, your risks are visible, and leadership is always one step ahead.
What we do
- Build operating models that align with business strategy: We break down silos between technical teams and leadership by creating operating models and governance that turn risk into a strategic asset.
- Executive tools and coaching: From boardrooms to incident response, we equip leaders with narratives, frameworks, and playbooks that translate risk into action.
- Design governance structures that scale: Our four-tier model, from tactical teams to the board, ensures risk flows efficiently across your organization with clear escalation and accountability.
- Centralize insight through a single dashboard: No more fragmented views. We build tailored dashboards that offer real-time visibility across compliance, maturity, and emerging threats.
- Integrate proven frameworks, made practical: We operationalize best practices like NIST CSF and Secure-by-Design, grounded in your business reality, not abstract policy.
- Drive cultural adoption from day one:
Through custom communications, engagement models, and embedded change management, we make risk awareness stick—at every level.
- Executives understand what matters, when it matters.
- Risk leaders gain tools to influence, not just inform.
- Teams act decisively, backed by structured governance and shared accountability.
- The board sees risk as a strategic signal, not noise.
