Cyber Security Consulting FAQs

Cyber Security Consulting involves working with experienced security professionals to assess, plan, and improve an organisation’s cyber defences. Rather than focusing solely on technical solutions, cyber security consultants take a strategic view - looking at policies, processes, infrastructure, and culture to identify risks and recommend improvements. Toro’s Cyber Security Consulting service offers tailored advice based on your business model, industry, and risk profile, ensuring you make informed decisions about securing your digital assets.

Engaging a Cyber Security Consulting service helps your organisation identify weaknesses and respond effectively to the growing complexity of cyber threats. Consultants bring external perspective, specialist knowledge, and industry best practices that may not exist internally. Toro’s consultants offer unbiased, vendor-agnostic advice to help you develop robust security strategies, enhance compliance, and align your cyber security investments with your broader business objectives. This external guidance is especially valuable during periods of digital transformation or regulatory change.

Toro’s Cyber Security Consulting is a flexible and comprehensive service that can be tailored to meet a range of objectives. It may include risk assessments, policy development, threat modelling, incident response planning, architecture reviews, staff awareness training, and board-level reporting. We also support clients with compliance initiatives such as ISO 27001, GDPR, and Cyber Essentials. Our consultants work alongside your internal teams to build sustainable, long-term improvements that go beyond technical quick fixes.

A Cyber Security Review is typically a one-off, structured assessment of your current security posture, focusing on identifying risks and vulnerabilities. In contrast, Cyber Security Consulting is an ongoing strategic partnership that addresses a wider range of issues - including long-term planning, business alignment, and regulatory strategy. Toro offers both services, and in many cases, a Cyber Security Review is the starting point for a broader consulting engagement focused on lasting improvement and resilience.

Toro’s Cyber Security Consulting services are delivered by experienced professionals with deep expertise across multiple security disciplines.

Every engagement is led by a dedicated consultant or team, chosen based on your specific needs and sector. We pride ourselves on offering clear, practical advice that empowers you to make confident decisions around cyber risk.

Absolutely. While larger organisations may have in-house teams, SMEs often lack dedicated cyber security resources - making external consulting even more valuable.

We help smaller organisations develop strong foundations, implement appropriate controls, and understand the risks relevant to their industry. Whether you’re building a security strategy from scratch or refining existing practices, our consulting service offers targeted, practical support.

The length of a Cyber Security Consulting engagement can vary greatly depending on your goals, scope, and complexity.

After an initial consultation, we define clear objectives and timelines to ensure the engagement delivers measurable outcomes. Our flexible approach means you get exactly the level of support you need - when you need it.
