Independent by design

Who we are

Rise Control is an independent IT audit and assurance practice for UK organisations. Our work is led by Tom Berci, a CISA-certified information systems auditor.

Tom is personally involved in every engagement, from the first scoping call to the final report. Rise Control works with organisations that need an independent view of their IT and cyber security controls, from growing businesses facing their first external scrutiny to established organisations responding to customer, insurer or board requirements.

How we work

We keep engagements focused and proportionate. Scope, timetable, fee and reliance are agreed in writing before work begins, evidence is handled securely and kept to the minimum required, and findings are reported in plain English with a clear statement of what was and was not tested.

Our principles

• Independence: We never audit systems or services that we have designed, implemented or operated, and we declare any existing relationship in writing.
• Proportionality: Scope and recommendations reflect your size, risk and budget, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
• Evidence: Every finding is supported by tested evidence and a clear statement of scope and limitations.
• Plain English: Reports are written so that leaders can act on them and technical teams can implement them.

Credentials

• CISA: Certified Information Systems Auditor, awarded by ISACA
