Optio Venture Partners

About Us/Compliance & Governance

Compliance & Governance

Western and West-aligned governments and industry only. Compliance is settled at the front of an engagement, not retrofitted to it.

Export control

Licensing before movement

No technology or materials move before the applicable licences and end-user assurances are in place.

Counterparty screening

Who we will not work with

Sanctions, ownership and end-use screening precede any commercial discussion. Engagements outside the West-aligned footprint are declined.

Programme governance

PMO and audit trail

Configuration control, standards evidence and reporting are carried by our own PMO, so the record stands up to a client's audit.

Information handling

What stays off this site

Client names, system detail and commercial terms are not published. Anything technical or sensitive is handled by a person, not by a form or an assistant.

Declarations of interest

Where we hold an interest, we say so first

Optio holds distribution and representation mandates, and in some cases an interest in the companies whose systems it represents. Where that applies, it is declared in writing to the client before any commercial discussion, and programme-delivery work is contracted and governed separately from product supply. A client is never asked to rely on our recommendation of a system in which our interest has not been disclosed.

Compliance questions from a government or prime are answered by a named person, in writing.
