Advisory Services
Cerivo Advisory Services brings together 12 specialists in legal, compliance and information security. From GDPR and NIS2 to the AI Act, DORA and ISO 27001, we take you from gap analysis through implementation to ongoing support.
Talk to our Advisory team
Most organisations don't have a compliance team on standby for the next regulation, audit or project.
And knowing the rules is only half the job. You also need to know what applies to you, what needs to change and how to make it work.
That's where we come in.
Our specialists combine legal expertise with experience from regulators, consultancies, financial services and in-house compliance teams. You get clear advice, practical implementation and ongoing support.
Legal advice and project support across the AI Act, NIS2, GDPR, contracts and complex compliance matters.
Ongoing compliance operations, including external DPO services and support across GDPR, NIS2, the AI Act and DORA.
Practical support with NIS2, ISO 27001, ISMS, risk assessments and audit preparation.
We use the same practical approach whether you're working with NIS2, GDPR, the AI Act or DORA.
01
We assess your current setup against the requirements that apply to you.
You get a written gap report with a prioritised view of your maturity and a clear basis for next steps.
Typical duration: 2–4 weeks
02
We turn the findings into a prioritised plan based on your risk profile, resources and timeline.
You'll know what needs to happen, when, and who owns it.
Typical duration: 1–2 weeks
03
This is where the plan becomes reality. We help you put governance, risk management, policies, procedures, incident and supplier management, training and documentation in place.
The goal: compliance that works in practice, not another report in a drawer.
04
After the project, Managed Services can support your day-to-day compliance operations.
You get expertise and continuity without adding a full-time role.
Advisory Services isn't separate from the rest of your compliance setup.
The Cerivo Platform documents the work as we go, so you can follow activities, documentation and progress. You stay in control – and if you take the work in-house, the structure is already there.
Cerivo Advisory Services brings 12 lawyers, compliance specialists and information security experts together under one roof, so you don't have to coordinate multiple providers.
The team is led by Stine Mangor Tornmark, VP of Legal, Compliance & Advisory Services.

"As a CCO working across a multi-brand SaaS portfolio in the EU and the US, we need partners who understand our commercial reality, not just the legal one. Stine and her team does both. They grasp what we need as a customer and, just as importantly, what our own customers need from us. That combination lets them find workable paths through situations that would otherwise stall a deal or a launch. They don't just flag risk; they help us move forward with it managed. That's rare, and it's why we keep coming back to them."
