The Executive Authority Behind Global Security Programs

Nikoloz Kokhreidze - Fractional & vCISO

Nikoloz Kokhreidze

Fractional CISO & Strategic Advisor

With over 13 years of experience at the high-stakes intersection of cybersecurity and business strategy, I serve as a strategic thought partner to B2B scaleups. Having built security programs for Forbes Cloud 100 FinTech, Banking, Finance, and FMCG leaders and reviewed over 150+ B2B security programs, I translate technical complexity into business resilience and investor trust.

Global M&A & Exit Readiness

Enabled €150M+ in acquisitions by ensuring security programs exceed the most rigorous international due diligence. I prepare founders for the "security hurdle" in Tier-1 exits.

Strategic Cost Optimization

Identified and recovered €35M in savings through intelligent tool consolidation and risk-aligned roadmaps, proving that robust security can increase, not drain, your bottom line.

Cross-Border Leadership

Providing elite, cross-border security oversight for high-growth technology firms scaling across EMEA and North America, bridging the gap between European regulation (NIS2) and US market expectations (SOC 2).

Lean Compliance Excellence

Maintained a 100% first-time pass rate on ISO 27001 and SOC 2 audits. I deliver audit-ready frameworks that satisfy global enterprise procurement without the traditional "enterprise bloat."

The 3 Strategic Risks Stalling Your Business Growth

For high-growth B2B companies, security is no longer a technical checkbox, it is a fundamental driver of enterprise value.

Revenue & Market Friction

  • The Context. Global enterprise buyers in North America and EMEA now demand rigorous proof of security (SOC 2, ISO 27001) before signing six-figure contracts.
  • The Problem. Without a mature security posture, your sales team is losing €5M–€20M deals at the final procurement stage.
  • The Business Cost. Stalled revenue, extended sales cycles, and competitors winning on "Trust" even if their product is inferior.

Governance Blindness

  • The Context. Investors and Board members require clear, quantifiable risk oversight—not technical jargon.
  • The Problem. Security is currently a "Black Box." Leadership lacks visibility into technical debt, M&A readiness, or compliance with global regulations like NIS2 and the EU AI Act.
  • The Business Cost. Reduced valuation during funding rounds, failed M&A due diligence, and personal liability for directors.

AI & Innovation Debt

  • The Context. Rapid AI adoption is a competitive necessity, but it creates massive, unmanaged data and privacy risks.
  • The Problem. Teams are using AI tools without governance, leading to potential Intellectual Property (IP) leaks and data provenance issues.
  • The Business Cost. Massive "rebuild costs" later, permanent loss of proprietary data, and regulatory bans on your core AI products.

How organizations turn these risks into controlled, governable outcomes

Strategic Leadership to Build Resilience and Drive Growth

We don't just "do" security; we integrate it into your business strategy to unlock new markets and protect your enterprise value.

Enterprise Trust & Revenue Acceleration

  • Global Compliance. Rapid, lean implementation of SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 tailored for B2B scaleups.
  • The "Deal Desk" Advantage. Expert support for complex security questionnaires and procurement audits to close 7-figure deals.
  • Trust Frameworks. Building a customer-facing security posture that removes friction from the sales cycle.

Executive Governance & Board Advisory

  • Risk Quantification. Translating technical vulnerabilities into financial risk metrics for the Board and Investors.
  • M&A & Exit Readiness. Strategic due diligence and security maturity mapping to maximize valuation during funding or acquisition.
  • Fiduciary Oversight. Independent leadership to navigate global regulatory landscapes, including NIS2 and GDPR.

AI Integrity & Scalable Architecture

  • AI Governance. Implementing safe AI adoption frameworks that protect your Intellectual Property and data provenance.
  • Scalable Guardrails. Designing security architecture that evolves with your product, from Series A to IPOs.
  • Business Transformation. Leading security through geographic expansion, restructuring, or post-merger integration.
