Our vision is to be the fractional governance, risk & compliance business partner your business wants to work with in both strategy and operations.

Our values are non-negotiable when it comes to our clients. Our core values are:

• Professionalism (appropriate communication, responsiveness, discretion and confidentiality)
• Integrity (trust, honesty, and openness)
• Competence (quality output delivered on time and to specifications)
• Efficiency (sometimes less is more, and we strive to streamline where possible)

GLF Strategic Compliance is a fractional business partner and we know that every organisation is unique. That's why we take a tailored approach working closely with your leadership to understand your specific risk tolerance, industry demands, and compliance needs. We develop frameworks and strategies that align with your business’s objectives, ensuring they are practical, scalable, and adaptable to changing conditions.

We aren't a typical consulting business. Our model is to work with executive teams, get involved with your business, identify gaps, and help you put action plans in place to address those gaps. We build a relationship with you and your team, give you a capacity boost, and stay involved as long as you need.

Using a fractional business partner like GLF Strategic Compliance for compliance and risk management allows leadership to rely on highly professional consulting services, and provides businesses with the extra resourcing needed at critical moments. Whether it's project-based or more strategic, our model is cost-effective and flexible.

The key to our approach is simplicity and understanding before acting, which means asking the right questions at the right time. Questions like:

• What are your key objectives?
• What are your immediate priorities and longer-term goals?
• What level of risk are you comfortable with across different areas of your business?
• Does your risk tolerance align with your risk management capabilities?
• How do you aim to position yourself within your industry and the broader marketplace? 
• What legal, compliance or risk gaps are you already aware of?
• How important is good governance to your business? What does that mean to you?

Addressing these fundamental queries is crucial before embarking on initiatives such as contract reviews, privacy program development, risk framework development, or compliance gap analysis.

We have experience across many different industries and sectors, including professional services, insurance, media & entertainment, e-commerce, advertising, not-for-profit and startup. We work with clients all sizes, across all industries, and for varying lengths of time. While we can work with almost any client, we find that our approach is best suited to:

• Small and medium-sized businesses without a specific 'governance' or 'compliance' function at the executive level.
• Executive teams who have identified governance, risk, compliance (and adjacent considerations) as a priority, and could benefit from a boost in capacity to plan and implement.
• Organisations whose board and executive commit to enhancing governance, risk or compliance but lack internal resources.

Our ability to work as a fractional business partner means we use our insights and experience to help leadership teams put in place governance, risk, compliance and other critical frameworks and programs. Businesses and non-profits in all sectors can benefit from our fractional services, irrespective of their regulatory landscape.

Our focus is not just on delivering governance, risk, compliance and adjacent frameworks, but on building lasting partnerships with our clients. As well as being cost-effective, working fractionally means we place a lot of emphasis on clear communication, transparency, and collaboration. Our extensive experience across North America and Europe gives us a unique perspective, allowing us to offer strategic, actionable advice.
