IT infrastructure consulting: independent cybersecurity and cloud selection
The right infrastructure creates the conditions for the business to operate securely, reliably, and with room to grow.
What does an independent IT infrastructure and cybersecurity consultant do?
It helps you decide what infrastructure the company needs — security, cloud, networks, and continuity — and choose vendors against criteria defined before looking at proposals. At Cyrrus we start from what is already in production and take no vendor commissions.
Assessment of what exists
We first review what the company has in production and what risks exist today, before recommending a new architecture.
Four criteria
Functional, technical, economic, and sustainable: it solves the real operation, fits what exists, the budget covers running it, and it grows with the company.
Scope
Selection of vendors and architectures, and contracting support. Implementation is managed by our Project Management (PMO) practice.
Technology Infrastructure
01Cybersecurity
We select solutions to protect operations through modern security architectures, identity protection, device management, monitoring, and incident response.
02Cloud
We support the selection of Cloud, Hybrid, and Multicloud architectures that deliver long-term flexibility, scalability, and efficiency.
03Connectivity
We design and select LAN, WLAN, WAN, SD-WAN, and Internet solutions that support the business's operation with high availability and performance.
04Business Continuity
We help define the capabilities needed to protect operations through continuity strategies, disaster recovery, and high availability.
Technology infrastructure brings together four fronts that are decided together: cybersecurity (identities, devices, monitoring, and incident response), cloud (cloud, hybrid, or multicloud), connectivity (LAN, WLAN, WAN, SD-WAN, and Internet), and business continuity (disaster recovery and high availability). A decision in one affects the others: moving a system to the cloud changes what needs protecting, which links the operation needs, and how it recovers if it fails.
That's why selection starts with an assessment of what already exists, not with a vendor's catalog: which systems support the operation, what depends on what, where today's risks are, and what requirements the company faces from its customers or its industry.
With that assessment we define the criteria before requesting proposals, and compare specific vendors and architectures against the same four criteria we use in every selection: functional, technical, economic, and sustainable.
In our view, common mistakes when choosing infrastructure include buying the security tool before knowing what needs protecting, migrating to the cloud without reviewing what it will cost to run afterwards, and having a continuity plan that has never been tested.
The infrastructure chosen here is the foundation for AI architecture. Implementation is managed by our Project Management (PMO) practice, and to prepare executives we offer ISO 27001 and business continuity (DRP) workshops at Leadership Academy.

“We don't just help our clients choose technology solutions — we help them make decisions that strengthen and transform their organization.”
What comes after you choose
Frequently asked questions
When it has to decide on a cloud migration or renew its security, networks, or continuity plan, and has proposals from several vendors but no criteria to compare them. Also when a customer or a regulation requires security controls and the company needs to know which solutions cover them.
We evaluate specific vendors and architectures — cybersecurity, cloud/hybrid/multicloud, connectivity (LAN, WLAN, WAN, SD-WAN), and business continuity — with the same four objective criteria we use for every selection.
Yes. We first assess what the company already has in production — we don't recommend a new architecture without first understanding what exists and what risks are there today.
Implementation is coordinated with Project Management (PMO), which governs the timeline, risks, and vendors throughout the rollout.
