Why This Is a Game Changer

Cybersecurity is no longer a luxury – it’s essential for every growing business. But we know every SME faces different risks, has different systems, and operates with different budgets. That’s why Toreon, as a VLAIO-selected partner, offers a unique, points-based menu: you pick the services that matter most, and we tune the approach to your specific needs. Already 100 SME’s have benefited from this approach.

How Does It Work?

Eligibility check: We help you quickly verify if your SME qualifies for the VLAIO subsidy.
Needs assessment: Together, we identify your business’s security priorities.
Points-based proposal: You select from a wide range of services—threat modeling, compliance, training, and more—using your points allocation.
Subsidy application: Toreon handles the VLAIO process, ensuring compliance with the procedure and maximum chance of approval.
Delivery & follow-up: We execute the project, measure results, and help you demonstrate ROI.

Choose Your Cybersecurity Journey: START, MEDIUM, or PLUS

Every business has unique cybersecurity needs. That’s why Toreon offers three flexible packages designed to meet you wherever you are in your security journey—all backed by VLAIO subsidies.

START – Security Discovery

Perfect for SMEs taking their first strategic cybersecurity steps

The START package gives you clarity and direction. We conduct a comprehensive cybersecurity assessment based on the CyberFundamentals (CYFUN) framework from the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium, perform a technical analysis (such as an external penetration test or cloud security assessment), and deliver a concrete, prioritized roadmap tailored to your business.

Ideal for: Companies that need a clear understanding of their current security posture and a practical plan forward.

MEDIUM – Security Journey

For SMEs ready to implement real improvements

Build on everything in START and add significant implementation power. The MEDIUM package includes a flexible points-based credit system that lets you choose from our extensive service menu—covering people, processes, and technology. This means you don’t just get a plan; you get the resources to act on it.

Ideal for: Organizations ready to transform recommendations into tangible security improvements across their operations.

PLUS – Security Transformation

For SMEs pursuing comprehensive security maturity

Go beyond implementation to achieve deep organizational transformation. PLUS includes all MEDIUM benefits plus extensive implementation activities, cloud security optimization, hands-on training programs, incident response exercises, and—where appropriate—preparation for ISO27001 certification to strengthen your competitive position with international clients.

Ideal for: Companies committed to building world-class security capabilities and achieving recognized security standards.
