UK technology, AI and cyber advisory and assurance

Control technology risk. Govern AI. Strengthen cyber assurance.

Intelance is a UK advisory and assurance firm. We help leadership teams assess, build and operate trustworthy technology, AI, cyber and data governance. When boards, investors, customers, auditors or insurers need proof, we provide independent assurance.

The questions that bring clients to us

  • Which of our AI uses are approved, and who approved them?
  • Can we show the board evidence on technology risk, or only opinions?
  • Why does every new project make our systems harder to change?
  • Would our certificates and controls survive a customer audit?
If one of these is yours, a thirty minute call will tell you the next step.

The delivery model

How we deliver

We assess, we build, and we operate. Independent assurance runs across all three. Whatever the engagement, you always know what you are buying and what comes next.

Fixed fee diagnostics

Assess

Independent assurance runs across all three

When boards, investors, customers or insurers need proof, we verify independently. If we built it, we do not assure it: independence is structural.

About Intelance Assure

Who we work with

CISOs and cyber leaders

Security leaders dealing with fragmented controls, architecture risk and rising governance expectations.

Boards and audit committees

Boards that need an independent, evidence based view of technology risk before major decisions.

PE firms and investors

Investors that need deal grade visibility of technology, cyber and AI risk across the portfolio.

Programme and transformation leaders

Leaders responsible for major change who need architecture clarity before delivery drift gets expensive.

Public sector and regulated organisations

Teams operating under high accountability where governance, assurance and auditability matter from day one.

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers before you get in touch

What does Intelance do?

Intelance is a UK advisory and assurance firm working across five connected domains: enterprise architecture, AI governance, cyber and ISO assurance, data governance, and technology, delivery and M&A assurance. We assess, build and operate governance and architecture capability, and provide independent assurance when boards, investors, customers or insurers need proof.

How is Intelance different from the big consultancies?

Three ways. Senior advisers only: the person on the call does the work, with no junior consultants learning on your budget. Fixed, published fees: prices are on every service page before you enquire. And structural independence: if we built something, we do not assure it.

What does an engagement cost?

Every service has a published price. Entry points include Cyber Essentials from £320 + VAT, independent assurance reviews from £4,500 + VAT, a Data Governance QuickScan from £14,500 + VAT, an AI Governance QuickScan from £15,000 + VAT and an EA QuickScan from £18,000 + VAT. Fees are confirmed in writing before any work begins.

Who does Intelance work with?

CIOs, CTOs and chief architects, CISOs, boards and audit committees, private equity firms and investors, programme leaders, and public sector and regulated organisations. We are strongest where the environment is complex, regulated or under pressure.

How do we start?

Book a thirty minute strategy call. We will help you name the real problem and the right next step, even if that step is not us. If we do propose work, it comes as a scoped, fixed fee first step with the price in writing.
