Mandos Fractional CISO

Mandos provides fractional CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) services for B2B growth companies, particularly those in the €5M-€50M ARR range targeting enterprise customers. The company is founded and led by Nikoloz Kokhreidze, who brings 13 years of experience in cybersecurity across industries including FinTech, SaaS, banking, and FMCG.

The service focuses on helping companies overcome security roadblocks that delay or prevent enterprise sales. Mandos builds security programs designed to pass enterprise security reviews, achieve compliance certifications, and accelerate deal closure. The company specializes in rapid ISO 27001 certification, typically completing implementations in 6 months by focusing on the 34 essential controls that auditors verify rather than all 114 controls.

Mandos offers strategic security program development including SOC, IAM, GRC, TPRM, and vulnerability management programs. The company supports M&A security due diligence, vendor risk assessments, and incident response planning. Services also include AI governance frameworks and AI vendor security assessments as organizations adopt AI tools.

The fractional CISO model provides security leadership on a part-time basis, typically 2-3 days per week, positioning it as an alternative to hiring full-time CISOs or engaging Big 4 consultancies. Mandos trains sales teams to confidently answer security questions during enterprise procurement processes and prepares companies for security audits and compliance certifications. The founder also created SecurityListing, a directory of cybersecurity products.
