Top 10 Cyber Security Risks UK Businesses Must Prepare for in 2026
From Phishing to Deepfakes, here are ten of the biggest cyber security risks that UK businesses should be thinking about in 2026.

Cyber Essentials vs ISO 27001 – Which Security Certification does your business need?
Two of the most common standards UK organisations look at are Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 – If you’re trying to decide where to focus, here is a break down of what they each are and what their main focus is.
Defence Cyber Certification explained: what defence suppliers need to know
Defence Cyber Certification (DCC) explained for defence suppliers. Learn what the certification involves, why it was introduced and how organisations can prepare for Defence Standard 05-138 requirements.
Cyber Essential Update
Cyber Essentials is updating from April 2026 with new MFA requirements, stricter patching rules and clearer scope guidance. Learn what’s changing and how to prepare for certification.
Why a cyber security review is essential for understanding real organisational exposure
A comprehensive cyber security review evaluates governance, operational processes, user behaviour, technical controls and third-party dependencies together.
It’s 2026. Why are the basics still being missed?
In this latest article, Toro Solutions’ Directors of Cyber Security and Physical Security & Risk ask a simple but uncomfortable question: it’s 2026, so why are the basics still being missed?
Reflecting on high-profile failures, including the widely reported security lapse at the Louvre, they explore how weak passwords, inconsistent MFA, unmanaged access and overlooked physical controls continue to sit at the heart of major incidents. While organisations focus on AI, geopolitics and evolving threat actors, foundational disciplines such as access management, patching and third-party oversight are too often deferred, normalised or quietly accepted.
The piece argues that most breaches are not the result of unknown risks, but of known controls that were never fully enforced or revisited and that real progress in 2026 will depend less on chasing the next big threat and more on consistently getting the fundamentals right.
People not plans
In this recent press piece, Toro Solutions’ Directors of Cyber Security and Physical Security and Risk discuss why resilience is about people, not paperwork.
They argue that most organisations don’t fall short because they lack plans, but because their teams operate in silos. When cyber, physical and operational functions fail to share context early, warning signs are missed and response slows down. Convergence, they explain, isn’t about restructuring it’s about getting the right people talking before small issues turn into bigger problems.
Because when pressure hits, it’s not the plan that makes the difference, it’s how well your teams work together.
