FAQs

What exactly is independent data governance?

It’s an extra layer of assurance for your pensions data projects. We work on your behalf to monitor quality, challenge providers where needed, and make sure your objectives are met, without being tied to any administrator or service provider.

Unlike traditional consultancies, we’re completely independent . We don’t deliver the work or have ties to any provider. That means our sole focus is protecting your interests: holding others to account, spotting risks early, and making sure you get the outcomes you’ve paid for.

No. We work alongside them. Your existing teams continue to deliver the work; we make sure they do it to the agreed standard, on time, and within scope.

Absolutely. We’re often brought in mid-project to review progress, flag risks, and get delivery back on track without disrupting what’s already in motion.

It depends on the size and complexity of the project. Many schemes only need a few hours of oversight each week, which is often enough to identify issues early and keep the project running smoothly.

We start with a short conversation to understand your project, timescales, and goals. From there, we outline where we can add value— and only proceed if we’re confident we can make a measurable difference.
