Churchill and Harriman

We chose C&H several years ago to contribute to the ever-increasing maturity of our enterprise risk management program. Since that time, C&H has consulted to [client] on a multitude of projects, and executed several internal risk assessments and external risk assessments, always exceeding [client’s] expectations. C&H is the thought leader on the employment of controls, and international standards including ISO 27001. Their risk assessment and vendor management competencies are unparalleled. C&H has earned my endorsement to any firm requiring enterprise risk management expertise.

Churchill & Harriman have been consulting to us on enterprise-wide business risk mitigation matters for seven years now. We continue to receive the same dedicated service and support from C&H that we received from day one. Few business partners have provided such validated ongoing commitment to customer satisfaction.

It is even more impressive that this has been done during a period of unprecedented change within the information technology organization at [client]. It is a true indication of your company’s professionalism that you have been able to maintain flexibility in light of these change initiatives and at the same time continue to deliver great value to the entire organization. Most of all, I deeply appreciate the substantive results C&H has produced for my colleagues and me. I recognize this is founded on the open and honest lines of communication I have with you and the C&H team. You have earned a meaningful level of trust with me, and I look forward to working with C&H to make a value added difference to [client] in the years to come.    

It is with much gratitude that I extend this letter to you and the C&H team for an outstanding job on the above contract.

Churchill & Harriman has been a long-time member of the Shared Assessments program, actively contributing to working groups, refining program elements, often speaking at our Summit and on webinars, and executing flawlessly for their customers. Ken Peterson has served on the Shared Assessments Advisory Board and Steering Committee. C&H and Ken have added much to the discussion and strategy on the maturation and future of Third-Party Risk Management at the global level. C&H is known for their integrity and for the efficacy of their work; their earned reputation in the industry is excellent. It is also my pleasure to call Ken a friend!

It is with pleasure that I compliment and endorse the efforts of Churchill & Harriman on behalf of [client] in connection with [client’s] Service Provider Risk Management Program. On-site risk assessments of selected service providers are a critical component of [client’s] program, itself essential for demonstrating [client’s] satisfaction, in part, of the rigorous risk management requirements established by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC). Churchill & Harriman stands side by side with [client], sharing our success in these objectives. Churchill & Harriman has consistently over-performed, delivering services beyond the contractually required minimum. Moreover, Churchill & Harriman has developed and implemented a repeatable, global, end-to-end risk assessment methodology that can be replicated and scaled to meet [client’s] needs.

There are several qualities which set Churchill & Harriman apart from other consulting firms that have worked for me over my career.  These include great depth of professional expertise and experience; an undying commitment to fulfill the client’s needs; a focused professionalism in ensuring that the client always receives accurate, well-written, timely, and comprehensive work products; a willingness to be candid while also being respectful with the client, to ensure his or her best interests are always served even when uncomfortable truths need to be confronted; and a personal and professional integrity, the likes of which I have rarely seen outside of my many years of service in the military.  Churchill & Harriman was always more than a consultancy; they were a true business partner.
