Quod Orbis partners with i-confidential to help UK regulated organisations unlock greater operational resilience
London, UK. 6th May 2026 – Quod Orbis, the leading provider of Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM), today announced its strategic partnership with cybersecurity services expert, i-confidential, combining proven methodology with automated Continuous Controls Monitoring to help UK regulated organisations strengthen their operational resilience beyond routine compliance.
The partnership reduces businesses’ manual evidence collection efforts by 70%, while unlocking real-time visibility of control performance and board-level reporting and metrics. Organisations will also benefit from faster identification of control failures and risk exposure, as well as a reduced audit burden and improved compliance efficiency overall.
“The uncomfortable truth is that most regulated organisations don’t know if their controls are working as intended, all of the time,” comments Tim Williams, CEO of Quod Orbis. “They know if they were working six months ago, on the day of the audit. However, the gap between assumption and reality is where risk exists. That simply doesn’t stand up to scrutiny anymore. This partnership with i-confidential changes that. With i-confidential’s proven methodology and our CCM platform, organisations can, for the first time, move from reactive assurance to a state of continuous assurance, where risk is visible in real time and boards have the confidence to act.
This strategic collaboration is the first and only partnership in the UK to combine structured metrics methodology and automated CCM technology. Under a single accountable delivery model, Quod Orbis and i-confidential are working to support regulated industries through full lifecycle CCM. Their combined offering takes organisations through every stage of the journey, from initial assessment, design and implementation, through to fully managed operations.
Elaine McKechnie, Head of Cyber Security Consultancy, i-confidential, adds: “From experience, I know how hard it is to land meaningful metrics in an organisation and how painful it can be trying to manually collate control data month after month. This partnership is an exciting step forward, combining the right thinking on metrics with the technology to start moving towards more automated, continuous assurance.”
i-confidential brings a proven metrics framework spanning 80+ requirements, 12 capabilities and 4 domains, underpinned by deep regulatory and practitioner expertise. Quod Orbis delivers the platform that automates data ingestion, visualises control performance in real time and produces audit-ready evidence. Together, they turn strategy into live operational capability, delivering continuous, regulator-ready assurance to UK organisations facing growing pressure from DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001:2022 and FCA accountability rules.
