Cybersecurity Consulting: 5 questions to choose the ideal partner

Strengthen your business with tailored security.

With cyberattacks on the rise and increasingly sophisticated techniques, cybersecurity is a strategic priority. Today, top managers don’t ask “if“, but “when” they will face a cyber threat. Choosing the right partner for cybersecurity consulting can make the difference between reacting to disaster or having a digital ecosystem ready for any eventuality.

But how do you choose the best partner?
Here are 5 key questions to guide you towards the most effective decision.

1. What results have you already achieved?

In the business world, words matter less than facts. Ask your potential partner for case studies, references, or testimonials from companies similar to yours. What problems have they solved? What measurable results have they achieved?
For example, a consultant who has successfully worked on mobile security projects for companies with millions of users can demonstrate a deep understanding of both the technical and operational challenges.

2. What specific skills do you offer?

Not all cybersecurity skills are the same. An experienced partner should demonstrate a strong knowledge in areas most relevant to your business. Here are some specializations to look for:

• Mobile app security: Ensure the partner follows international standards like OWASP MASVS to protect your applications.
• Vulnerability management: Solid experience in detecting weaknesses, such as in your web or mobile applications, or identifying misconfigurations in corporate devices.
• Regulatory compliance: Knowledge of regulations specific to your sector, such as DORA or NIS2.

3. What is their ability to adapt to your reality?

Standardized solutions work, but only partially or not at all. Every company is unique, and your partner must create a plan based on your specific needs.
Ask:

• What assessments do you conduct before proposing solutions?
• How do you integrate security proposals with the existing infrastructure?
• Can you work collaboratively with the internal team?

An experienced partner will be able to recognize the specific challenges of your industry, whether you operate in healthcare, finance, or industry.

4. How do they plan for the future of your security?

Cybersecurity is not a project, it’s a journey. Choose a partner who has a long-term vision and knows how to protect your business today, tomorrow, and in the years to come.
Ask:

• What is the roadmap they propose for your company?
• Are they ready and up to date with emerging threats?

A consultant who thinks about the future will help you scale your defenses as your company grows.

5. What is their approach to compliance?

Regulatory compliance is an opportunity to strengthen your brand and improve customer trust. Ask your partner how they manage:

• Compliance audits: Are they certified for standards such as ISO 27001 or NIS2?
• Ongoing activities: Do the solution, service, or product offered ensure compliance with evolving regulations?

Protecting the future of your business is a choice.

Choosing the right partner for cybersecurity consulting is not just a strategic decision, but an investment in the future of your business. By asking the right questions, you can identify who is capable of developing tailored solutions to address both current and future threats.
