Optimal Assurance helps organisations build, review and strengthen the systems they depend on — providing practical, independent support across management systems, governance, risk, compliance and operational assurance.
Management systems, governance frameworks, policies, procedures and documentation that suit how your organisation actually operates.
Internal audits, gap analyses, compliance reviews and readiness assessments that tell you where you genuinely stand.
Corrective actions, continual improvement and ongoing support that keeps systems live rather than sitting on a shelf.
Support is scaled to the size of the organisation and the level of risk involved. You get systems that are defensible and usable, not documentation for its own sake.
Developing, implementing and improving management systems aligned to recognised standards.
Independent assessment of how your arrangements perform against your obligations.
Making sure policies and procedures are current, consistent and stand up to challenge.
Structured, defensible risk management that supports decisions rather than obstructing them.
Event planning and independent review, informed by direct operational and pre-hospital experience.
Access experienced assurance capacity without employing a full-time manager.
Systems only earn their keep when they hold up under pressure — during an audit, after an incident, or when a decision has to be justified.
Optimal AssuranceOptimal Assurance is led by Frank Black CertIOSH, a risk and assurance professional with experience gained in complex, high-risk and safety-critical environments, including work within a large public-sector organisation.
That background shapes how the business works. Assurance is only useful if it holds up when something goes wrong — when an auditor asks a difficult question, when an incident is investigated, or when a decision has to be justified after the fact. The aim is always a system that is proportionate to the organisation, understood by the people using it, and defensible when it matters.
Support is available on a project basis or as ongoing assistance, and is designed for organisations that need genuine assurance capability without carrying a full-time specialist.
If you would like detail on qualifications, professional membership or previous work, it is provided on request or as part of a tender submission.
Support is provided across Ireland to organisations operating in regulated, public-facing or safety-critical settings.
Describe the position you are in and what you are trying to achieve. You will get an honest view of what is required, what is optional, and what it is likely to involve.
Based in Ireland. Support provided nationwide, on site and remotely.
