Montik Consulting builds and manages tailored IT, Cyber, and AI governance frameworks for small and mid-sized companies — covering risk assessments, privacy compliance, SOC 2 audits, and the ongoing advisory that keeps your program current.
From your first risk assessment to maintaining ongoing compliance, Montik covers every stage of your governance and risk management journey.
We design and implement custom IT, Cyber, and AI governance frameworks tailored to your organization's structure, risk appetite, and regulatory environment — not a generic template adapted from someone else's business.
Navigate privacy obligations, SOC 2 requirements, and other compliance mandates with structured programs that reduce risk, satisfy auditors, and give your clients confidence in how you handle their data.
Structured assessments across AI, Cyber, and IT domains to identify vulnerabilities, quantify your exposure, and surface the areas where action is most urgent — before a breach or audit forces the issue.
Move from reactive risk management to a mature, proactive practice. We benchmark your current state against established standards and build a roadmap to close gaps systematically over time.
We adapt proven frameworks — NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS, OWASP, MITRE — into a coherent, integrated system aligned to your business model. No copy-paste compliance; each control earns its place.
Governance is not a one-time project. After initial setup, we stay engaged — monitoring your risk landscape, refreshing your frameworks as your business evolves, and keeping your compliance posture current.
We don't reinvent the wheel — we adapt what works. Each engagement draws on the right combination of established frameworks, calibrated to your specific context and obligations.
Every engagement begins with a thorough assessment of where you stand — what you have, what's missing, and what your compliance obligations actually require of you right now.
As your business grows and the regulatory landscape shifts, we remain a steady partner — adapting your frameworks, monitoring your posture, and making sure nothing slips through.
Large enterprises have full-time security and compliance teams. Smaller companies face the same complex obligations with far fewer resources. Montik was built to close that gap.
We work with companies across industries that need enterprise-grade governance without the enterprise overhead — businesses facing their first SOC 2, managing new privacy obligations, or deploying AI that needs a real governance foundation.
Whether you're building from scratch or strengthening an existing program, we'd welcome the conversation — no obligation, just clarity on where you stand.
Book a Consultation →Montik was built by practitioners who have spent careers at the intersection of technology, risk, and compliance — inside global financial institutions, international insurance companies, and Big 4 consulting practices. We bring that depth to businesses that need enterprise-grade governance without the enterprise overhead.
Our team has led governance programs at some of the most compliance-intensive organizations in the world — global financial institutions and international insurance companies where regulatory scrutiny is relentless, audit cycles never stop, and the cost of a weak control environment is measured in regulatory findings, reputational damage, and real financial exposure.
That experience — built across Big 4 consulting and senior in-house roles — taught us what effective governance actually looks like when it's tested. We know what auditors look for, what regulators expect, and where programs quietly fail. We founded Montik to bring that standard to smaller organizations who face the same obligations with a fraction of the resources.
Our practice covers IT, cybersecurity, AI governance, and privacy — the full spectrum of risk that a modern business needs to manage. Because we've lived both sides of the advisory relationship, our guidance is practical: we don't recommend what looks good on a framework diagram; we recommend what holds up under scrutiny.
Our team holds leading professional certifications in cybersecurity, risk, privacy, AI governance, cloud auditing, and finance — not generalist training, but the designations that practitioners in each field recognize and respect.
We didn't build Montik to replicate what enterprise consulting firms do at a lower price point. We built it to bring genuine practitioner depth to the SMB market, on terms that make sense for smaller organizations.
Our team has held senior in-house roles inside major regulated institutions — not just consulted from the outside. We know what it takes to design a governance program that actually works when the auditor walks in, because we've run them, not just recommended them.
Cybersecurity, IT risk, AI governance, privacy, cloud auditing, financial controls — we carry recognized certifications across all of it. That breadth matters: most of the risk your business faces doesn't stay in one lane, and neither do we.
We draw on established frameworks — NIST, ISO, CIS, OWASP — because they represent distilled industry wisdom. But we adapt them to your business, not the other way around. Every recommendation we make is one we can explain and defend to your auditors, your board, and your clients.
Whether you're building from scratch or strengthening an existing program, we'd welcome the conversation — no obligation, just clarity on where you stand.
