At Marquard Consulting, we help organisations navigate the increasing complexity of cross-sector compliance—where regulatory demands from international bodies, national laws, and industry standards intersect.
Led by Jens Marquard Sørensen, a veteran in both regulatory development and operational implementation, we provide specialised compliance advisory that bridges policy intent with practical application. Jens has represented Denmark at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and led negotiations on the STCW Convention, while also advising multinational corporations on financial and geopolitical compliance frameworks under EU regulations, Danish law, and international standards.
We Understand Compliance From the Inside Out
Where most compliance consultants read regulations, we’ve written them. Jens has been an integral part of the assemblies and workgroups that shaped key conventions in areas such as:
Maritime law (IMO, STCW, SOLAS, MARPOL)
Occupational safety & environment (Danish Working Environment §16)
EU directives on anti-money laundering, data protection (GDPR), supply chain due diligence
Financial sector regulations including AML, anti-fraud, and whistleblower frameworks
This gives Marquard Consulting a unique ability to:
Interpret regulatory intent precisely
Anticipate what auditors will look for
Design compliance structures that are both effective and realistic
Compliance is Not Just a Policy – It’s a Practice
What sets us apart is our dual insight. Jens has enforced compliance as a desk-based regulator, defended it as a negotiator and board advisor, and implemented it on the deck of a ship and in the field during crises. We understand the friction between regulation and reality—and help your teams bridge that gap with practical, risk-based approaches.
