GRAAY® Limited is a governance and assurance consultancy, which has evolved from supporting signalling and project management within the rail industry, to serving wider industries ranging from financial institutions to the power sector.
We have developed ASURRA®, a digital, signature-tracking tool, which improves confidence in governance and assurance operations by allowing accurate measurement and tracking of current compliance commitments in real time - all the time.
In line with Microsoft Azure obligations, ASURRA® uses multi-factor authentication (MFA), a trusted Azure Active Directory (AAD) and Cross-Tenant Provisioning (CTP) to allow privileged access to all areas including shared channels for collaborative working.
ASURRA® delivers significant added value through efficiency and overall effectiveness of fact-based decision making at all levels.
"Not finance, not strategy, not technology. It is real teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare."
Mr Patrick Lencioni (Author – The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team.)
We believe the heart and soul of any business or service is its people. People are what matter most in any business. People genuinely try to do their best, but despite best endeavors and established internal procedures, there can be unintended consequences. This can result in inefficiencies arising from established or habitual practices and processes or the effect of certain events or unforeseen circumstances.
"It is said that every journey begins with the first step ...whilst I agree this is true, I feel that the journey truly begins when you have a team to share it with. To share, to dream, to find a common cause that you can commit to. To drop the shackles of self-doubt, to find the courage to trust your team and truly collaborate. Then, a true journey begins."
Frank Lloyd-Murray (CEO) October 2022

"Who do we serve? As a team, we firmly believe in excellent service. To be successful, we are clear that we must understand the needs of our clients, and then work effectively to serve those needs, to define what we are doing, for whom, by when."
We constantly embrace new and emerging technologies, but still believe that if you are a new or existing customer with a query or concern, the first step should always be to talk to us directly.
