Before provenance can be connected across systems and organisations, the underlying records, identifiers, workflows and responsibilities need to be understood. BioChain Advisory helps organisations map their evidence chains, identify provenance gaps and strengthen the foundations needed for reliable cross-system provenance — whether or not they ultimately deploy The BioChain.
The BioChain Advisory works with organisations that don't yet have a dedicated data-governance, compliance or internal-audit function of their own — growing teams, boutique operators, and organisations expanding into a new regulatory jurisdiction for the first time. If you already have an established in-house team covering this ground, our infrastructure work under The BioChain is more likely to be the relevant conversation.
If you've never had a formal data-integrity review, or you're moving into a jurisdiction and need to understand what changes, this is for you.
No. Advisory is a standalone service. Many organisations that engage us will never deploy shared provenance infrastructure — the audit and review stand on their own, whatever you decide afterwards.
A prioritised, written report: what's verifiable in your systems today, where the gaps are, which ones matter most, and what a regulator or auditor would find if they looked. No infrastructure recommendation is required or assumed.
No. It's informed by a Master of Laws (LLM) in International and European Law, but we are not a law firm. What we bring that a law firm doesn't is a working understanding of the data, systems and evidence chains those regulations actually apply to — so the review tells you what to ask your lawyers and what your systems need to be able to show them, not just what the rules say in the abstract.
Probably not, at least not for the core audit. Advisory is built for organisations without that function in place yet. If you have an established in-house team, our infrastructure work under The BioChain is more likely to be the relevant conversation.
It depends on scope — talk to us about what you're trying to understand and we'll give you a realistic timeline before you commit to anything.
