Executive Assurance

Gain clarity, control and confidence in your data landscape with Storm's Executive Assurance service, a structured approach designed to reduce risk, strengthen governance, and support executive decision-making.

Executive Assurance

Secure Today, Assure Tomorrow

In today’s digital-first world, data is both a strategic asset and a growing source of risk. Yet many organisations still lack the visibility and governance needed to manage it effectively. A recent Modern Workplace Survey of IT leaders across the UK and Ireland, commissioned by Storm Technology, revealed:

  • 74% operate with fragmented systems

  • 79% rely on manual processes to analyse data

  • 23% lack full visibility of their data

  • 73% are concerned about rising regulatory pressure

Storm’s Executive Assurance service is designed to address these challenges head-on, giving executives the tools and insights they need to take control.

How can Executive Assurance help your organisation take control of data risk?

Gain full visibility of your data landscape with real-time dashboards and unified oversight.

Accelerate compliance readiness through automated controls and audit-friendly reporting.

Reduce risk by addressing shadow AI, insider threats, and fragmented governance.

Our Four-Step Approach

1. Discovery & Assessment

Establish a baseline of your data and governance landscape, identify risks, and capture benchmark metrics with findings consolidated into a detailed risk assessment report.

2. Security & Governance Blueprint

Define a tailored governance and security model aligned to business goals and regulatory requirements, providing a set of supporting policy documents and a visual deck.

3. Implementation & Automation

Establish the foundations for a secure and well-governed environment by deploying key technologies and controls, streamlining governance tasks, and prioritising high-risk areas.

4. Assurance & Optimisation

Sustain and optimise your data governance and security posture with executive dashboards that provide real-time visibility, quarterly workshops to review trends, and ongoing support.

We viewed the project as a digital transformation initiative, so it really is a journey. We wanted to bring all employees with us on this journey. Almost everyone in the organisation was involved in the information architecture review, so it wasn’t a top-down imposed solution. We knew it wasn’t just a matter of technology, although obviously, it is a central aspect, we set out to really maximise the benefits of the system for our employees and the organisation and we knew the human and cultural side of business change would be essential for project success.
