    Our Story

    Building Cloud Excellence Since 2014

    Toc Consulting was founded with a clear mission: to help businesses leverage the full potential of cloud technologies while maintaining the highest security standards. With over a decade of experience in AWS and cloud security, we've grown into a trusted partner for organizations across the globe.

    Our founder, Tarek Cheikh, recognized early on that cloud adoption without security-first thinking leads to costly mistakes. Having worked with complex AWS implementations and security challenges, he established Toc Consulting to help organizations navigate cloud adoption with confidence.

    Today, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored cloud solutions that drive efficiency, innovation, and growth for our clients. Our expertise spans AWS architecture, AWS security, and cloud migration, always with security at the core.

    Toc Consulting is a focused AWS security and cloud architecture practice. We go deep on three things instead of a little of everything, and we staff every engagement with the right AWS specialists for the job.

    AWS Security

    Assessments, IAM hardening, compliance automation, threat detection, and incident response.

    AWS Architecture

    Well-Architected reviews, multi-account landing zones, and secure-by-design systems.

    Move to Cloud (AWS)

    Security-first migrations with least privilege and encryption enforced from day one.
