Risk & Remediation that delivers real control uplift and defensible outcomes
Led by seasoned risk leaders and remediation specialists, Outsized Teams deliver defensible outcomes across compliance readiness, vulnerability remediation, governance uplift, and control assurance. Our hands-on execution accelerates timelines and reduces organisational risk.
Practical risk support, built for real-world complexity
From compliance uplift to risk mitigation, our teams help you strengthen control environments, reduce exposure, and close findings with confidence. We pair risk specialists with delivery practitioners to ensure every engagement delivers traceable, audit-ready outcomes – not theoretical recommendations.
Compliance
Achieve audit-ready compliance for SOC 2, ISO, PCI and other frameworks. Our teams manage gap assessments, control uplift, implementation, and evidence preparation – delivering clean audit trails, not just checklists and templates.
Governance
Build governance foundations that regulators trust. From policy frameworks to board reporting and oversight mechanisms, we design and embed structures that enable accountability, transparency, and sustainable growth.
Risk Reviews
Get clear, defensible insight into what actually matters. We run operational, technology, and third-party risk assessments, producing prioritised registers, actionable recommendations, and concise reports leaders can use immediately.
Remediation Programs
Close findings with confidence. Our squads triage issues, automate verification, and drive end-to-end remediation delivery – cutting time-to-completion significantly, and producing predictable, audit-ready outcomes.

Risk & Remediation consulting in action
Rapid validation of automation and margin enhancement
A professional services firm needed to validate automation and AI opportunities and develop a board-ready business case for margin enhancement over 2-3 years.
Challenge:
Leadership identified optimisation opportunities but needed credible implementation plans with quantified financial impact. They needed rapid validation, rigorous business case, and board-ready plan within 4.5 weeks.
Solution:
Outsized curated a three-person team using DMAIC methodology to validate the quantified target number and identify specific opportunity initiatives. Undertook financial modelling, dependency mapping, and developed a phased roadmap with success metrics. Packaged findings into board materials, including a refined business case and Q&A preparation.
Impact:
Comprehensive board-ready business case with realistic financial projections. Validated opportunity assessment for measurable margin enhancement. Phased roadmap balancing quick wins with longer-term initiatives. Governance structure for effective execution.
This is what we were missing. The Six Sigma approach, and then the plan,

Your Outsized advantage: Built for fixed-scope execution – where traditional consulting models aren’t built to flex
We’re not here to replace your Big 4 or MBB relationships – we complement them. Large consulting firms excel at enterprise-wide transformations and long-term strategic programmes. But for fixed-scope projects often in the AUD 200k–2m range, their model isn’t designed for speed or agility. That’s exactly where Outsized Teams deliver – combining structure, accountability, and senior delivery talent without the overhead.
When to use Outsized
Teams
• You need a full delivery team built around a defined project scope
• The work requires multi-disciplinary collaboration and leadership
• You want structured governance, reporting, and accountability
• You’re focused on measurable outcomes, not just hours worked
• You prefer turnkey delivery without the overhead of large firms
When to use Outsized Talent on Demand
• You need specialist expertise to plug short-term skill gaps
• You’re building internal capability and managing delivery yourself
• The project is individual-contributor-led, not team-based
• You want maximum flexibility to scale resources up or down
• You’re comfortable owning coordination, delivery, and outcomes
“We used a Big 4 firm for our security strategy and Outsized Teams for focused remediation work where their model makes more sense – like our 12-week SOC 2 programme. Different tools for different jobs.”
– CTO, Australian FinTech
