What We Do
Multiple service areas.
One goal: a compliance program your organization can actually run.
Compliance risk is everywhere — and it doesn't stay still. Regulations change. New initiatives create new obligations. Personnel changes create gaps. And most organizations don't find out where the gaps are until something goes wrong.
Inovia Solutions builds the systems, structures, and programs that give organizations real visibility into their compliance posture — and a practical, manageable way to stay on top of it.
Six Core Service Areas
Compliance Risk Assessment
For organizations that need to understand where their real compliance exposure is before deciding where to invest.
You can't fix what you can't see. Before you can build a compliance program — or prioritize resources within one — you need a clear picture of where the risks actually are.
Our compliance risk assessment methodology evaluates every compliance area your organization operates in across two dimensions: how likely non-compliance is given your current controls and exposure, and how significant the impact would be if it occurred. The result is a prioritized risk map that tells you exactly where to focus.
The assessment includes a descriptive survey deployed in person or online to the people who own each compliance area, a structured scoring process, a visual heat map, and a leadership validation session where priorities and mitigation responses are agreed upon.
We also automate the risk assessment process for organizations that need to conduct assessments at scale or repeat them on an annual cycle.
Compliance Task Monitoring and Automation
For organizations ready to replace manual tracking with a system that runs itself.
Most organizations track compliance deadlines in spreadsheets, shared drives, and someone's calendar. That works until it doesn't — and when it stops working, the consequences can be significant.
Our compliance task monitoring systems can automate the entire deadline management process:
Automated reminders to responsible parties at 60, 30, 15, 5, and 0 days before each compliance deadline
Automated completion forms that collect proof of task completion and surface any compliance challenges, emerging risks, or resource needs in real time
Automatic escalation to supervising administrators when deadlines are missed — without requiring the compliance function to manually chase
A live compliance dashboard with real-time status across every compliance area in the organization
Governance, Oversight, and Program Design
For organizations building a compliance program from scratch or rebuilding one that isn't functioning.
An effective compliance program isn't a policy manual and a training module.
It's a governance structure, a documented compliance inventory, a risk-informed monitoring system, and a culture of ethics and accountability — all working together.
We design and build complete compliance programs: the leadership structure and authority, the compliance committee, the network of subject-matter owners across the organization, the board-level oversight, and the documented program framework that makes the whole thing defensible.
We work in the implementation sequence that actually produces a functioning program — governance first, then the compliance inventory, then buy-in, then the risk assessment, then monitoring and response. Not the textbook order. The order things need to exist.
Our approach is custom. We work with every organization type and every size — and the program we build for you is designed for how your organization actually operates.
Policy and Procedure Development and Management
For organizations with compliance gaps in their written standards, outdated policies, or no formal policy governance structure.
Compliance programs live or die by the quality of their written standards. A policy that exists on paper but hasn't been reviewed in six years, isn't accessible to the people who need it, or doesn't actually reflect current regulatory requirements is not a compliance asset — it's a liability.
We support organizations at every level of the policy lifecycle:
Program-level policy development — The foundational documents that define what your compliance program is: a Code of Ethical Conduct, a Policy on Policies that governs how standards are created and maintained, and the program-level framework that connects policy to monitoring.
Subject-matter policy development — The specific policies required by law, regulation, or best practice in your compliance areas: civil rights, employment, financial controls, research, data privacy, student affairs, health and safety, and more.
Policy governance infrastructure — A structured system for assigning policy ownership, establishing review cycles, managing approvals, and ensuring the policy library stays current as regulations change.
Policy management — Ongoing support for organizations that need help maintaining and updating their policy framework over time.
Training, Awareness, and Communication
For organizations that need to build a culture of compliance — not just document that training occurred.
Training is the element most compliance programs get wrong. They measure completion rates and call it effectiveness. But a compliance training program that doesn't change knowledge or behavior isn't serving its purpose — it's just creating a paper trail.
We build training programs at two levels:
Organization-wide compliance and ethics training — Training that builds understanding of the compliance program itself: what it is, how it works, how to report concerns, and what is expected of every member of the organization. This includes orientation for boards, senior leadership, compliance committees, and designated compliance owners across the organization.
Subject-matter compliance training — Training on specific regulatory requirements, developed for the audiences whose roles require it. Informed by the risk assessment. Role-appropriate. Practical. Built for real people — not legal departments.
Compliance communication strategy — The sustained awareness effort that keeps compliance expectations visible between formal training events: announcements, campaigns, policy communications, and the ongoing messaging that shapes organizational culture.
Civil Rights Compliance
Our founder's background includes deep expertise in civil rights compliance. We support training, policy development, and program design for:
Title IX — Sexual Harassment and Discrimination
Title VI — Race, Color, and National Origin Discrimination
Title VII — Employment Discrimination
ADA / Section 504 — Disability Discrimination
Clery Act — Campus Safety Reporting
VAWA / Campus SaVE Act
Protection of Minors
And more
Reporting, Investigation, and Response
For organizations that need a clear, documented process for what happens when something goes wrong — or might be going wrong.
Knowing about a problem and knowing what to do about it are two different things. An effective compliance program has both: a system that surfaces concerns and a structured process for assessing, investigating, and
resolving them.
We design and build reporting and response systems that cover the full cycle:
Open lines of communication — formal and informal reporting channels, including hotline coordination, that make it safe and easy to raise concern
Intake and assessment — documented protocols for receiving reports, evaluating them, and routing them to the right function
Investigation infrastructure — who investigates, under what authority, with what training, and with what documentation standards
Resolution frameworks — the process for reaching a finding, implementing corrective action, and communicating outcomes
Corrective action planning — not just responding to the individual incident, but identifying the systemic gap that allowed it to occur and building the controls to prevent recurrence
A Note on Investigations
Inovia Solutions does not conduct investigations as a standard service offering. In limited circumstances, Lorna Fink may accept investigation assignments based on availability, scope, and institutional fit. Please contact us to discuss. Nothing on this website should be construed as an offer to conduct or oversee an investigation. All investigation-related decisions should be made in consultation with qualified legal counsel.
