Advent IM, a leading provider of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) consultancy and assurance services, is proud to announce its official membership with ADS Group, the UK’s premier trade organisation for Aerospace, Defence, Security, and Space sectors.
This strategic move reflects Advent IM’s deep-rooted commitment to the Defence sector, where it has been a trusted risk and compliance partner for over two decades. The company has consistently delivered continual risk management and assurance services to the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and its extensive supply chain, supporting organisations across all Defence domains.
A key component of this support has been Advent IM’s leadership in Secure by Design, where it is actively delivering services to MoD suppliers today. By embedding security principles from the outset of projects and systems development, Advent IM helps ensure that defence programmes are resilient, compliant, and mission-ready from day one.
“We are delighted to have become members of ADS, a highly respected and influential organisation within the Defence sector,” said Ellie Hurst, Commercial Director at Advent IM. “We have always welcomed opportunities to strengthen our relationships across the industry, and we look forward to growing alongside fellow members. This step reflects our ongoing support for both ADS and the wider Defence community, as we continue to deliver the first-class Governance, Risk, Compliance, and Assurance services for which we are renowned.”
As a trusted provider of GRC consultancy, outsourced solutions, training, and testing services, Advent IM plays a critical role in supporting high-assurance industries with future-ready compliance and risk strategies. Joining ADS is a natural extension of Advent IM’s work, deepening collaboration in areas where security, precision, and resilience are not just priorities—they’re essential.
ADS membership also opens new avenues for collaboration, innovation, and shared expertise, enabling Advent IM to continue shaping and supporting secure, compliant ecosystems across the Defence supply chain.
