Konve Advisory

Senior technology, compliance, and legal expertise — without the cost of employing it.

Konve Advisory provides outsourced data protection, technology leadership, and governance services to organisations that need senior expertise but cannot justify a full-time hire.

Our work is led by a principal advisor with three decades of combined engineering, security, and legal discipline, supported by a purpose-built layer of supervised AI agents that extends what a small practice can deliver. We operate as a named function of your organisation — accountable, available, and integrated with your leadership.

Who We Work With

You may recognise yourself in one of these.

Konve Advisory is built for organisations and individuals on the wrong end of an asymmetry — too large to ignore the obligation, too small to staff the answer. If any of the following describes your position, we are likely the right people to talk to.

You have been asked why you do not have a Data Protection Officer.

Your board, your investors, or a client's procurement team has raised the question. You know the honest answer — that you cannot justify a full-time hire — is not the answer they will accept. You need someone qualified, named, and accountable, without the cost of employing them full-time.

You are making technology decisions without a peer to check them against.

You are the founder, the managing director, or the operations lead. You are buying platforms, signing contracts, choosing vendors, and approving architectures — and there is no one in the room with the seniority to challenge you when you are wrong. You need a principal advisor, not another consultant.

You are facing a compliance obligation you are not equipped to meet.

ISO 27001 readiness. A data protection audit. A new regulatory regime in your sector. A customer demanding evidence of controls you have not yet documented. You need someone who has done this before, who can take ownership of the work, and who will not leave you with a report and an invoice.

Our Services

Four retainer services. One standard of attention.

Konve Advisory operates through four defined services. Each is delivered on a retainer or fixed-fee basis, with clear scope, named accountability, and the same standard of senior judgement applied regardless of the size of the engagement.

Fractional Data Protection Officer

A named DPO for organisations subject to UK GDPR, retained on a monthly basis.

Konve acts as your registered Data Protection Officer — the named contact on the ICO register, accountable to your board, and available to your team. We maintain your Record of Processing Activities, review DPIAs, advise on incidents, and produce the annual data protection audit your governance requires.

Fractional Chief Technology Officer

Senior technology leadership for organisations that need it but cannot justify a full-time hire.

Konve provides a named senior advisor to your leadership team. We own the technology roadmap, govern major decisions, challenge vendors on your behalf, and represent technology at board and investor level. Strategic responsibility, without the cost or commitment of a full-time executive.

ISO 27001 Readiness

A fixed-fee programme that takes your organisation from gap analysis to certification audit.

Konve plans, governs, and delivers the work required to achieve ISO 27001 certification. We produce the management system, the documentation, and the risk framework, supervise specialist implementation partners, and stand alongside you through the certification audit. A defined project with a defined outcome.

Governance and Compliance Advisory

Senior advisory hours on retainer, for organisations that need qualified attention on the things that matter.

Konve provides a defined block of advisory hours each month for contract review, supplier governance, policy development, and the broad category of work that needs qualified attention before commitment. Available when you need us, structured so that you know what you are paying for.

Why Konve Advisory

Three things most firms in this market cannot say.

The advisory market is crowded. Most fractional DPO services are templated. Most fractional CTOs are generalists. Most ISO consultants disappear after certification. Konve Advisory is built differently, and the difference is structural, not cosmetic.

Technology and law, in the same practice.

Konve Advisory is led by a principal who holds the CISSP, an LLB, an MBA, and Microsoft Expert-level certifications across cloud and security. Most fractional DPOs are lawyers who do not understand the technology. Most fractional CTOs are engineers who do not understand the regulation. We are the same person — and the work shows it. When a contract requires both legal review and architectural challenge, we do both, in the same conversation, without handing you off.

An AI-native operating model, supervised by qualified judgement.

Konve is built from the ground up to extend the capacity of a small senior team through purpose-built AI agents. Routine documentation, regulatory monitoring, register maintenance, and first-pass review are handled by agents under our supervision. The judgement, the accountability, and the named role remain with the qualified practitioner. The result is the standard of attention a much larger firm provides, at a price point a much smaller client can afford.

A practice, not a project.

We are not a consultancy that produces a report and disappears. We are a retained function of your organisation, accountable to your board, available to your team, and present in the relationships that matter. Konve Advisory is built to grow with you — through a fractional engagement today, a deeper retainer as your needs expand, and into our legal practice once we are authorised to provide it. One firm, one relationship, one standard.

The Principal

Konve Advisory is led by Konstantinos Veves.

Three decades in technology. A UK law degree. An MBA. The CISSP. Microsoft Expert-level certifications across cloud, security, and modern workplace. Currently preparing for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination, with the intention of qualifying as a solicitor and opening Konve Legal as the firm's authorised legal practice.

The combination is uncommon. There are technologists who have learned compliance. There are lawyers who have learned about technology. There are very few practitioners who hold qualified standing in both. Konve Advisory exists because that combination — applied to the work of a small practice, supported by an AI-native operating model — produces a different standard of service than either profession can deliver alone.

Every Konve Advisory engagement is led personally by the principal. Routine production work is extended through supervised AI agents. Specialist implementation, where required, is brought in under direct supervision. The accountability does not move.

How To Start

A thirty-minute call. No fee, no pressure, no obligation.

Every Konve Advisory engagement begins with a thirty-minute introductory call. The purpose is mutual fit assessment, not sales. We will ask about your situation, your obligations, and what you are trying to achieve. We will tell you, honestly, whether Konve is the right firm for the work in front of you. If we are, we will propose a scope and a price. If we are not, we will tell you that too, and where possible point you to who is.

The call is conducted by the principal, not a sales representative. There is no fee. There is no follow-up sequence. There is no obligation to engage. We work this way because the clients we are built to serve are senior, busy, and have better uses for their time than being marketed to.
