A group of specialised consulting arms bridging IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, compliance, and business transformation — for forward-thinking organisations across Europe and the GCC.
Gforce Networks is an independent technology group delivering specialised expertise across IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, compliance, and digital business transformation.
Founded by Gilberto Torres, with over 15 years of international IT leadership spanning Belgium, Portugal, and beyond, Gforce Networks was built to bridge the persistent gap between technical depth and executive vision.
Our structure allows each arm to operate with focused expertise while sharing a common foundation: integrity, precision, and a client-first approach that never compromises on quality for convenience.
As an independently operated group — without vendor affiliations or reseller incentives — every recommendation we make is driven exclusively by what's right for the client.
To empower organisations with secure, resilient, and strategically aligned technology ecosystems that support long-term growth.
Independent, vendor-agnostic advice. No hidden incentives — just the right solution for your context, budget, and risk profile.
Rooted in hands-on technical execution and validated by entrepreneurial experience, including a successful business exit in 2020.
"We don't just consult — we have built, led, and exited technology businesses. That entrepreneurial lens shapes every engagement."

Global infrastructure responsibility, network modernisation, and SAP migration environment support across multi-site operations.
Built and scaled IT services businesses across Belgium and Portugal. Managed operations, client delivery, and governance. Successful group exit in 2020.

We don't just consult — we have built, led, and successfully exited technology businesses. That entrepreneurial lens ensures recommendations are grounded in operational reality, not theory.
No reseller agreements. No vendor incentives. Every recommendation is driven exclusively by what's right for your organisation — whether that's enterprise hardware, open source, or a hybrid approach.
European regulatory environments produce some of the most structured governance disciplines in the world. We apply that rigour — GDPR, ISO 27001, NIS2 — practically and proportionately to your context.
With operations across Belgium, Portugal, and active GCC engagements, and fluency in four languages, we operate seamlessly across multicultural environments and international markets.
The rare ability to configure a firewall and present to a board in the same day. Deep technical capability backed by Vlerick Business School training in digital transformation and strategy.
We structure our engagements for lasting impact, not quick wins. Our retainer models are designed to compound value over time — building governance maturity alongside your business growth.
