Physical Security Consulting FAQs
A vCSO (virtual Chief Security Officer) provides high-level security leadership on a flexible basis, without the overhead of a full-time hire. This is ideal for businesses that require senior security expertise but do not have the resources or need for a permanent executive. Toro’s vCSOs bring strategic insight, risk oversight, and executive-level support that’s tailored to your needs and budget.
Physical security consultancy helps you prevent incidents, reduce risk, and build resilience. It ensures that your physical infrastructure, operations, and people are protected in line with industry standards and your unique needs. The result is a safer, more secure, and more efficient organisation.
Any business with physical assets, sensitive information, or a duty of care to people can benefit. We work with businesses of all sizes, including SMEs, multinationals and government agencies.
Toro offers both. We provide one-off consultancy projects as well as long-term support through service contracts, embedded roles, and retained advisory services. We’re flexible to your needs.
We’re accredited to ISO27001, Cyber Essentials and BRE SABRE. Our consultants have also contributed to the development of national and international security standards, are required to report CPE credits to maintain certifications, and have achieved higher level education in a security related field
Absolutely. We specialise in enterprise risk management, combining physical, personnel, and cyber security to deliver converged security strategies.
Toro takes an integrated approach to security, blending physical, personnel, and cyber security into a cohesive strategy. By aligning all three aspects, we ensure that threats are addressed holistically, reducing the likelihood of vulnerabilities across your entire operation. Whether it's protecting physical entry points, securing network access, or training personnel, we provide a comprehensive security solution tailored to your unique risks.
It’s advisable to conduct a physical security audit at least annually, following an impactful incident, or whenever there are significant changes in your business, such as a new facility opening, a security breach, or changes in regulations. Regular audits ensure your systems stay effective and compliant with evolving threats and legal requirements. Toro's consultants can help schedule and conduct audits that align with your needs and risk profile.
Toro's security training programme is highly bespoke, addressing specific threats relevant to your industry, operations, and workforce. It includes training on travel, behavioural detection and response, surveillance, Risk Management, TSCM and many others. Our training ensures your staff are well-equipped to spot and handle security risks effectively.
