Xion was built because most risk consulting is either too expensive for SMEs or too generic to be useful.  The Big 4 firms are set up for enterprise clients. Their minimum engagement fees, their hourly rates, their processes — they're designed for companies with internal risk teams and $50M+ in revenue. For an $8M manufacturing business or a $5M services firm, those firms are off the table.  The alternative — generalist business consultants — rarely have deep risk expertise. They can build a spreadsheet and call it a risk register. But they can't tell you what your actual regulatory obligations are, which controls will hold under pressure, or what a data breach response plan needs to look like. 

I built Xion to fill that gap. 'With 10 years of experience across risk, compliance, and operations, I understand what controls actually get implemented and which ones get filed away.

Xion uses AI-powered tooling to deliver the speed and scale that was previously only available to enterprise clients — at prices that work for SMEs. But the methodology, the judgement, and the client relationship are human. That combination is what makes Xion different.  We're based in Melbourne and work with clients across Victoria and nationally.
