Why work with us

What's the Risk Evolves difference?

We’re approachable, open, realistic and refreshingly jargon-free

Taking the fear out of the unknown

Risks don’t come with a warning sign, but we’ll help you learn what to look for.  With our support, you’ll evade the dangers of malicious or accidental risks, such as regulatory problems, reputational damage and disrupted operations.

Joining the dots

We share our expertise so you can focus on what you do best. Our holistic approach encompasses quality, H&S, information security and data privacy.

A tailored approach

No two businesses are ever the same, so we’ll make sure the support we offer fits your business – not the other way round!

Geeks? Yes. Happy, fun and human too

We love what we do, so you don’t have to.

Is it time to act?

Would you rather spend a little bit of money protecting your business now or a lot of money trying to restore your damaged business later?

Whether you need us for a one-off project, require retained support or need to call on us in an emergency, we’re here to help.

We know what it’s like to run a growing business because we run one too. We really do practice what we preach, and we’ll never ask you to do something that we wouldn’t do ourselves. That’s why we’re ISO, IASME Governance and Cyber Essentials certified.

We’ll distil the know-how we’ve gained from supporting hundreds of businesses and share the most relevant examples of best practice with you.

We’re not experts in HR, law or accountancy, but we know people who are. Our recommended partners will be glad to help you if you need their expertise.

If you’re ready to make the most of new opportunities and protect yourself against threats, please contact us today.

Don’t just take our word for it

Wherever you are in your compliance journey, we’re able to help. Find out how we turned The Frog Squad’s ISO45001 certification journey

From this…

“Progress had been frustratingly slow, and we were repeatedly told that it would take a few months longer, with no real end in sight.”

To this…

“We achieved certification at the first attempt and – best of all – we beat our customer to it!”
