Risk + Compliance
Guidepost Solutions is a leading provider of independent compliance audits that transform ethical crises into opportunities for organizational improvement. We believe that ethical crises and similar problems can be successfully managed by including a forward-looking compliance review as part of the response to the crisis. Our forward-looking compliance reviews address root causes of compliance failures, not just individual wrongdoing.
How Guidepost’s Approach Differs from Traditional Investigations:
Traditional investigations focus narrowly on blame and defense. Our compliance audits prioritize prevention and cultural transformation. We recognize that crisis moments present companies with strategic opportunities to strengthen compliance programs. Our team partners with organizations to ensure they capitalize on these moments rather than relying solely on defensive investigations.
Why Traditional Investigation-Only Approaches Fall Short:
- Blame-focused investigations identify wrongdoers but miss the systematic process failures that enable misconduct
- Defensive postures discourage employee participation, limiting the information available to prevent future issues
- Narrow investigative scopes overlook compliance culture weaknesses that create ongoing risk
Our audit methodology builds trust with stakeholders, enabling honest assessment of compliance system gaps
Services
Our experience both in a crisis and before one strikes is unmatched, and we will make sure that your company is in a position to proudly present its new compliance framework (and those who contributed in constructing it) to regulators and law enforcement as part of the solution to the problem.
Our expertise will help your company learn from its past conduct and apply this knowledge to make your company more compliant, ethical and prepared in the future.

- Acting as independent experts
- Identifying vulnerable business areas
- Creating and modifying company codes of conduct
- Building an infrastructure to address and maintain compliance, including monitoring and auditing procedures
