The firm
Built by auditors.
For companies that want it done right.
Lumina Risk Advisory is an IT audit and compliance firm focused on one thing: helping organizations build controls that actually work in practice.
Clear scope. Practical control design. Controls that hold up under audit.
The firm is built on experience leading IT audit and compliance engagements across industries. That experience shapes how we approach every engagement.
We do not treat compliance as a documentation exercise. Controls are designed to fit your systems and workflows so they operate reliably over time.
Experienced in audit.
Grounded in operations.
Our team started their careers inside Big 4 audit and advisory practices, leading IT audit engagements across complex, regulated environments in financial services, technology, and healthcare.
Over time, that experience extended beyond audit. Before founding Lumina, members of the team moved in-house, taking on IT audit, compliance, and controls leadership roles within financial institutions, SaaS companies, and technology firms.
We understand what it takes to build and operate a control environment under real constraints — not just assess one.
Lumina was founded on a simple premise: the level of rigour and experience applied in large enterprises should be available without the overhead, handoffs, or junior-led delivery model.
Engagements are delivered by a small, senior team from scoping through execution. We take on only the work we can staff with experienced practitioners.

Delivery model
Relevant.
Current. Verifiable.
Every credential listed is active and directly relevant to the work we deliver. Our focus is on maintaining certifications that reflect current standards in IT audit, compliance, and information security. These credentials support how we work, but they do not replace practical experience.

ISO 27001 Lead Auditor
↗ PECB / BSI

Big 4 firms are extraordinary
for large enterprises.
Large advisory firms are built for scale. They are well suited for multi-entity programs, global coordination, and long-term audit cycles. For smaller, high-growth companies preparing for their first SOC 2, ISO 27001, or SOX cycle, the requirements are different. The focus is on clarity, speed of execution, and building something that works without unnecessary overhead.
