Investigations & People
At Toro, the core mission of our investigations team is to gather reliable, information and transform it into actionable intelligence that empowers you to make informed decisions.
Whether you’re facing a security threat and need to understand what digital presence you have, dealing with a fraud incident, managing data breaches, or evaluating business partners, our flexible and discreet investigative services can help. We tailor our investigations to fit your specific needs, offering deep insights that protect your organisation’s reputation and security and enable you to make informed decisions.
Your digital footprint leaves a trail of personal and corporate information that can be exploited by cybercriminals. Toro’s Digital Footprint Review identifies and assesses online activities, revealing potential vulnerabilities in your digital presence. This service is designed to give you comprehensive insights into your online exposure, allowing you to take control of your digital narrative and safeguard sensitive information from threat actors.
Performing Due Diligence is vital for mitigating risks in business dealings, partnerships, and transactions. Toro’s investigation team performs in-depth checks on potential business partners, vendors, and key individuals to uncover hidden risks and liabilities. By assessing the financial, operational, and reputational stability of third parties, you’ll ensure compliance with regulatory standards and make better-informed decisions, protecting your organisation from costly legal issues or reputational damage.
Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT)
Toro’s OSINT service is dedicated to collecting and analysing publicly available data from open sources like the clear web, deep web, and dark web. Our investigators scour online forums, breached credential databases, and other open platforms to detect and track any information leaks or discussions involving your business. By leveraging open-source intelligence, we can provide critical insights that help you stay ahead of potential threats and security breaches.
Pre-Employment Check
Hiring the right people is crucial to the success and safety of your organisation. Toro’s Pre-Employment Check ensures that every candidate you consider is thoroughly vetted. From background checks to verifying professional and educational history, we identify any red flags or inconsistencies that could pose a risk to your business. This ensures you hire trustworthy, qualified candidates while protecting your organisation from internal threats.

From conception to completion, Toro’s team were professional, reliable, and demonstrated a broad but deep understanding of cyber, physical and personnel security risk.

"Toro’s team has the depth of knowledge and experience of all security risks and is always responsive, engaging and reliable. I would be happy to recommend them to others."
“We have worked with Toro for the last few months and I have been impressed by their security assurance services. Their insights have been invaluable, allowing us to further strengthen our security posture.”
“We have a very mature security testing programme which includes penetration testing but we had never appreciated the value of a fully blended (cyber, physical and social engineering) engagement until we commissioned Toro’s Red Team to attack us over a three month period. We would recommend that a Red Team engagement is undertaken by all businesses serious about security assurance and that seek to better understand their real world vulnerabilities.”

Who benefits from a DFR?
C-Level Executives and Public Figures: High-profile individuals often have a vast digital presence that malicious actors can exploit. A DFR helps secure private information and reduces the risk of doxxing, identity theft, and targeted attacks.
Businesses and Organisations: Companies with a public-facing brand can be exposed to online threats, including data breaches or intellectual property theft. Regular DFRs protect business operations and preserve client trust.
High-Net-Worth Individuals: Those with significant assets or influence are prime targets for cyber-attacks and fraud. DFRs help these individuals protect sensitive data and enhance personal security.
Politicians and Government Officials: Public servants can face politically motivated threats. A thorough DFR ensures that sensitive personal data is not easily accessible to adversaries.
