Precision
where it matters

Automation. Security. Compliance.
For organisations that cannot afford ambiguity.

Who We Are

“The organisations most exposed to risk are often the least equipped to manage it — not for lack of intelligence, but for lack of time, tooling, and trusted counsel.”

Zitha & Houwen was founded on a simple conviction: that small and mid-sized enterprises — particularly in the financial, legal, and accounting sectors — deserve the same calibre of operational and regulatory guidance that their larger competitors take for granted.

We work at the intersection of technology and governance, helping organisations build the automated controls, security postures, and compliance frameworks that transform risk from a liability into a discipline.

Based in the Netherlands, we bring a European regulatory perspective to a global practice. Our engagements are measured not by hours billed, but by exposures closed.

Core Expertise

Three disciplines.
One integrated practice.

01

Intelligent Automation

We design and implement workflow automation for firms that still rely on manual processes for critical operations — from document handling and client onboarding to reconciliation and reporting. Our approach is surgical: we identify the processes where human error carries the highest cost, and we eliminate it.

02

Information Security

Security is not a product you install — it is a posture you maintain. We help organisations build information security programmes grounded in ISO 27001, tailored to their actual threat landscape, and operated at a level of discipline that satisfies both regulators and clients.

03

Regulatory Analysis & Compliance

Regulation moves faster than most organisations can track. We provide ongoing regulatory analysis, gap assessments, and compliance programme design — translating dense legislative text into actionable operational controls. We specialise in financial regulation, data protection (GDPR, nFADP), and sector-specific frameworks.
