RiskSmart has entered a strategic partnership with The Evolution Group Ltd (TEG), an advisory and transformation delivery firm, aiming to help organisations tackle the growing complexity of regulatory and operational change.

The partnership brings together RiskSmart's risk and governance technology with TEG's advisory, transformation, and delivery expertise, with the goal of creating a single, integrated offering for clients. The companies said the collaboration addresses a common problem in which risk and governance functions are brought into transformation programmes too late, leading to duplicated effort, higher costs, delivery delays, and missed opportunities for earlier decision-making.

According to the companies, mid-market organisations have historically had to assemble their own patchwork of technology platforms, compliance advisers, and delivery partners to achieve integration, absorbing the cost and coordination effort themselves. RiskSmart and TEG said their combined offering is designed to remove this burden by aligning risk technology, compliance expertise, and transformation delivery under one relationship.

The partners outlined five areas of benefit for RiskSmart customers: earlier identification of risk and compliance issues as programmes get underway, governance structures built into projects from the outset, reduced complexity from working with a single integrated team rather than multiple providers, scalable support that adapts as organisations grow, and stronger execution driven by better-aligned insight across risk, compliance, and delivery.

RiskSmart provides risk, compliance, and governance technology intended to help organisations embed oversight into transformation programmes rather than treating it as a separate, later-stage function.

The partnership was formed after RiskSmart and TEG identified a shared frustration with how organisations are typically supported through periods of regulatory and operational change, with both firms agreeing that risk, compliance, and governance should move in step with the business rather than being added on afterwards.

RiskSmart CRO Ryan Swann said, 'We are excited to partner with TEG at a time when organisations are facing increasing complexity across governance, regulation, and transformation. This partnership brings together our deep expertise with strong advisory and delivery capability to create real value for our customers.'

The Evolution Group Ltd Director of Professional Services Ty Griffiths said, 'What drew us to RiskSmart was not just their capability, but how they think about client problems. There is a shared belief that the best outcomes come from genuinely integrated support.'
