At 319 InSight, we believe that successful compliance programs require more than technology alone. The most effective organizations combine strong governance, well-designed processes, experienced leadership, meaningful data, and the right technology platform to create sustainable compliance operations.

With that philosophy in mind, we are pleased to introduce our strategic partner, Andrew McBride and Integrity Bridge, a specialized ethics, compliance, and risk consulting practice focused on helping organizations strengthen and evolve their compliance programs. Integrity Bridge provides strategic, operational, and technology advisory services to compliance and risk leaders seeking to improve program effectiveness, enhance governance frameworks, and better prepare for emerging regulatory challenges.

Andrew brings more than 25 years of compliance experience, as Chief Risk & Compliance Officer at Albemarle Corporation, and in prior senior compliance roles at BHP and BP, before founding Integrity Bridge. As part of the resolution of an FCPA investigation with the U.S. DOJ and SEC in 2023, Albemarle received a 45% penalty discount (worth approximately $85 million) in recognition of the compliance program Andrew built. In a subsequent speech, the DOJ cited Albemarle’s cooperation and remediation efforts as “an example for companies considering how to achieve the best result under our policies”. In 2024, Compliance Week awarded Albemarle Compliance Program of the Year.  

How Integrity Bridge Can Help

Integrity Bridge works with compliance organizations to assess existing programs, identify improvement opportunities, optimize technology investments, and develop practical solutions to complex compliance challenges.

Many organizations implement compliance technology to automate processes and improve visibility, but over time questions naturally arise:

• Are our policies, procedures, and controls aligned with current regulatory expectations?
• Do we need to consolidate distinct due diligence processes?
• Are we fully leveraging the capabilities of our compliance technology?
• Are our risk models, workflows, and governance structures producing the right outcomes?
• What risk and program effectiveness insights can we gain from the data generated by our compliance operations?
• How can we prepare our program for future regulatory and business challenges?

Integrity Bridge helps answer these questions through independent assessments, program reviews, governance evaluations, technology optimization initiatives, and strategic advisory services. Their expertise spans compliance governance, third-party risk management, screening programs, due diligence frameworks, technology selection, operational effectiveness reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives.  Examples include:

• Deep compliance program build and testing in substantive areas such as anti-corruption, antitrust, modern slavery and sanctions;
• Alignment of TPRM with ERM
• Designing holistic TPRM programs that bring these substantive programs together;
• Integration of compliance programs with adjacent business processes (e.g. inquire to cash, source to pay)

One area where we see tremendous value is helping clients identify opportunities to further leverage their existing Platform319 environment.
