Before deals close. During transitions. When boards ask.
Strategic security advisory for PE firms, boards, and executives.
You're acquiring a company and need to know what security debt you're inheriting, before it becomes your problem.
Your CISO just left and the board is asking questions you can't answer.
Security spend keeps climbing but no one can tell you what you're actually getting for it.
I've spent 13 years in these exact situations. I've seen what happens when security debt surfaces post-close. It's never pretty, and it's always expensive.
That's why I built Mandos.
Know what you're inheriting before you close.
Acquiring a company means inheriting its security debt: vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, and tool sprawl that weren't in the data room. I find what's hidden so you can negotiate with full visibility or walk away before it's too late.
Stability when security leadership is uncertain.
CISO vacancy? New leadership inheriting a mess? I step in to restructure the security function: clear reporting lines, right-sized team, priorities that match where the business is today. No long-term commitment required.
Answer the question boards keep asking: “What are we getting for this spend?”
Most security leaders can't answer that question. I can. Using market intelligence from 5,800+ security products, I show exactly what to consolidate, automate, or cut, backed by data, not guesswork.
Most advisors guess. I don't.
I built CybersecTools, the world's largest directory of 5,800+ security products. This gives me data on tool overlap, market pricing, and consolidation opportunities that other advisors simply don't have.
My approach is forged from 13 years of practical experience across banking, fintech, and global FMCG. I've seen security from every angle: from hands-on analysis at Societe Generale to leading global security programs at Mambu (Forbes Cloud 100).
