Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This statement is made by Waivern Limited (“Waivern”, “the Company”, “we”) in relation to the financial year ending 5 April 2026. It sets out the steps we have taken to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our business or in any of our supply chains.

Waivern’s annual turnover is below the £36 million threshold at which a statement is mandatory under Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We publish this statement voluntarily because we regard the prevention of modern slavery as consistent with our values and with the assurance our clients reasonably expect of a privacy, information security, and governance consultancy.

Waivern Limited is a UK-registered privacy, AI governance, and governance, risk and compliance (GRC) consultancy and compliance-automation firm. We provide advisory services and software to help organisations meet data protection, information security, and AI regulatory obligations. Our workforce is small, professional, and predominantly office- or remote-based. We do not operate in sectors conventionally associated with a high inherent risk of modern slavery, such as manufacturing, agriculture, construction, or low-skilled labour supply.

Our supply chains are limited and consist principally of:

• cloud hosting and software-as-a-service providers;
• professional, legal, accounting and IT service providers;
• subcontractors and associate consultants engaged for specialist work; and
• office, equipment, and general business suppliers.

The majority of our suppliers are established businesses operating in jurisdictions with mature labour-protection regimes, which we assess as presenting a low inherent risk of modern slavery.

We operate an information security management system aligned to ISO/IEC 27001 and maintain policies that support ethical and lawful conduct. In relation to modern slavery, our position is that:

• we do not tolerate slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, or human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chains;
• we expect the same standards from every supplier, subcontractor, and business partner we engage;
• we comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and applicable employment and human-rights legislation; and
• workers are able to raise concerns, including concerns about labour exploitation, without fear of retaliation.

Given the nature of our business and supply chains, we assess our overall exposure to modern slavery as low. We nonetheless take proportionate steps to manage risk, including verifying that new suppliers are legitimately established, favouring reputable and established providers, and reserving the right to make enquiries where any concern about labour practices arises. Where higher-risk relationships are identified, we will apply enhanced scrutiny and, where appropriate, contractual assurances.

We ensure that relevant personnel understand the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking and know how to raise a concern. Awareness of these obligations is incorporated into our wider governance and compliance culture.

As a low-risk organisation we do not currently rely on formal quantitative indicators, but we review this statement and the underlying arrangements annually, and will strengthen our approach as the business grows or if our risk profile changes.

This statement has been approved by the Board of Directors of Waivern Limited and will be reviewed and updated annually.
