The Cybersecurity Partner for Growing Investment Management Firms.

ToraGuard is a boutique consulting practice specialising in Cybersecurity Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) for the U.K investment management industry.

We partner with investment management firms to deliver tailored Cybersecurity GRC services that help them navigate regulatory complexity, strengthen digital operational resilience, and align cybersecurity practices with business objectives. We are a team of highly talented, and experienced, cybersecurity professionals who understand the unique pressures facing boutique and mid-sized investment management firms—balancing performance, regulation, and reputation.

With deep industry knowledge and a client-centric approach, we empower investment managers to manage risk proactively, meet FCA and global compliance standards, and safeguard their reputations.

We help investment management firms with:

• Clear, practical paths to regulatory compliance (especially with FCA’s expectations under SYSC, Operational Resilience, and the upcoming UK implementation of DORA).
• Third-party risk management support, particularly to assess the security posture of critical outsourced IT or fund administration partners.
• Credible cyber risk frameworks and incident response plans that will withstand scrutiny from institutional investors, regulators, and insurers.
• Assistance preparing for cyber audits or investor due diligence, often triggered by LPs, consultants, or insurance renewals.

Our core services are:

• Cybersecurity Strategy and Transformation.
• Information and Cybersecurity Risk Management.
• Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO).
• Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) Services.
• Incident Response Preparedness.
• Cybersecurity Framework Implementation
  • Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SM&CR).
  • CBEST Threat Intelligence.
  • CQUEST Cyber Risk and Resilience Maturity. 
  • STAR-FS (Simulated Targeted Attack and Response assessments for Financial Services).
  • Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).
  • UK Cyber Resilience Act.
  • ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Information Security, Cybersecurity and Privacy Protection Standard.

ToraGuard offers right-sized, cost-effective solutions—not generic, enterprise-level programs that don’t align with the operations of small or medium sized investment management firms.
