Advisory Services
Our advisory services are designed for the senior leadership and governance bodies of internationally-minded universities. We provide strategic guidance — not technical implementation — helping institutions build resilience from the board down, delivered through the Expede Unified Digital Resilience Framework (UDRF) with progress measured and reported through HEI-CRI™.
Support for executive leadership and boards to establish effective cyber governance, risk oversight and institutional resilience strategy. Using standards-based assessments, we analyse current capability and generate a strategy to reduce gaps against best practice, prioritised by risk and impact.
Advisory support for research-intensive environments, including protection of research data, international collaboration risk and academic continuity. We help institutions understand and mitigate the specific risks to their research environments and intellectual property.
Development of structured multi-year cyber resilience improvement roadmaps aligned with institutional priorities. From stakeholder engagement through to business case development, we provide the analytical rigour needed to secure investment and drive change.
Long-term advisory relationships including quarterly resilience reviews, executive reporting and continuous improvement tracking. Our ongoing partnership model provides the sustained guidance universities need to remain resilient.
Expede UDRF & HEI-CRI™
Engagements are structured around the Expede Unified Digital Resilience Framework — a standards-aligned, evidence-based method that unifies governance, capability, controls, assurance, culture and risk movement into a coherent programme of improvement.
HEI-CRI™ (the Higher Education Institutional Cyber Resilience Index) is how we baseline maturity, track improvement, evidence control confidence and explain risk movement over time for universities — giving boards repeatable, board-ready insight into progress.
Every institution's resilience journey is unique. Let's explore how our international advisory services can support yours.
