What the review examines
The starting point is a specific decision: perhaps a core system, platform, architecture, make-or-buy choice or technology partner. The review considers the material you provide, key assumptions, alternatives and foreseeable consequences. Scope is agreed in advance.
- One defined question, not an open-ended enterprise audit.
- A reasoned written assessment covering risks, alternatives and next decision steps.
- A statement of evidence and limitations, including what was not reviewed.
A documented Malta case
In 2021, a review for an e-money institution found that about 60% of the core-system functions were usable. Customer and transaction data sat in one unprotected database instance; enhancements were owned by the licensor. The recommendation was to stabilize first, stop extending the system and replace it.
In 2023, €500m in customer assets was migrated under supervision to a certified platform with ISO 27001 certification. Jürgen Röck later led the implementation. The case shows how a review can structure a decision; it does not guarantee a similar outcome.
Process and boundaries
You describe the decision and provide relevant information. Together we clarify the question, review basis and potential conflicts. The assessment is delivered within three working days of the agreed start. This is advisory work, not legal, tax or audit advice and not implementation.
A considered next step
Clarify the question before choosing the scope.
An initial conversation is for clarifying the issue, the available information and the boundaries. If another format is a better fit, that will be said plainly.
