Mandos is a boutique strategic security advisory firm founded by Nikoloz Kokhreidze, a security professional with 13 years of experience across banking, fintech, and global FMCG sectors. The firm serves private equity firms, boards, and executives, with a focus on three core service areas. M&A Security Due Diligence involves assessing security debt, vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, and tool sprawl in acquisition targets across 24 EEA markets, covering transactions valued at €100M+. Deliverables include risk assessments that quantify technical debt in financial terms, integration roadmaps, and deal recommendations. Fractional CISO and Leadership Transition services provide interim security leadership during CISO vacancies or leadership changes. This includes restructuring security functions, establishing reporting lines, and preparing board-ready metrics, without requiring long-term commitments. Security Portfolio Optimization helps organizations evaluate and rationalize their security tool investments. Using data from CybersecTools—a directory of 5,800+ security products also founded by Kokhreidze—the firm benchmarks existing tools, identifies consolidation opportunities, and quantifies potential savings. The founder has identified €3.5M+ in annual savings for enterprise clients through this approach. Engagements are offered as focused 60-minute strategy calls or longer advisory mandates. The firm's client base includes financial services and technology companies, with prior work spanning major mergers in Scandinavia and Georgia. Blog content covers topics such as vCISO services, security program development, and AI security governance.
