About Talos Risk Services
Independent compliance consultancy dedicated to strengthening institutions through structure, vigilance, and integrity.
Our mission: Safeguard your Business.
Who We Are
We are an Amsterdam-based Compliance Consultancy Firm started in 2022.
Talos Risk Services is an independent consultancy specializing in KYC, CDD, AML, and Financial Economic Crime (FEC). We partner with financial institutions across the EU to deliver compliance solutions that are effective, sustainable, and proportionate to their operational and regulatory environment.
Our mission is simple — to help institutions maintain trust and integrity through practical governance, robust processes, and quality-driven execution.
Our Approach
At Talos Risk Services, we combine regulatory expertise with operational precision.
Our approach is founded on three guiding pillars — Structure, Transparency, and Measurable Outcomes.
- Structure: Clear frameworks, documented procedures, and repeatable controls.
- Transparency: Full visibility of actions, progress, and results through open reporting.
- Measurable Outcomes: Every engagement is designed to deliver tangible improvements in compliance quality and efficiency.
The Origin of Our Name: Inspired by Talos, the Guardian of Crete
The name Talos draws inspiration from Greek mythology. Talos was the legendary bronze guardian of Crete — an unyielding sentinel forged by Hephaestus, the god of craftsmanship, to protect the island and its people.
Made entirely of bronze and animated by a single divine vein of ichor, Talos circled Crete three times a day, ever watchful and incorruptible. His purpose was simple yet profound: to safeguard the island’s integrity.
This symbolism lies at the heart of our work. In today’s financial world, KYC, CDD, AML, and FEC functions are the guardians of the financial system — protecting institutions from risk, reputational harm, and regulatory breaches.
By naming our firm Talos Risk Services, we honor that same spirit of vigilance and protection. Like the bronze guardian of Crete, we are committed to safeguarding your business through structure, precision, and proactive compliance excellence.
Our Mission
To enable financial institutions to achieve compliance excellence through structure, clarity, and control — protecting their reputation, clients, and operations with precision and integrity.
Message from Our Founder
At Talos Risk Services, our purpose is simple: enable institutions to operate with clarity, consistency, and integrity. Compliance should be practical and measurable—never decorative.
We bridge regulatory expectations with execution: translating policy into workable frameworks, building repeatable controls, and validating outcomes through independent quality assurance. The result is a program you can defend to regulators and rely on in daily operations.
