IT security is a niche area and needs to be undertaken by someone who really knows what they are doing. It’s hard to pinpoint who this could be. IT consultants tend to specialise in IT solutions and security agencies have staff available to work. The answer may lie in a business development company.

There are many different types of business development companies out there. They have different specialisms, so you will need to find someone who works with IT security. Look for a company with a proven track record in helping businesses to tighten up their security systems and processes to protect themselves in future.

You should also consider the technology that these companies will be using. Look for technology that is well known but that can be customised to meet the needs of different businesses. You need to be confident that the security technology they will be installing is going to meet your needs.
