Cybersecurity that’s serious,
not theatrical.
Mangold Security is a boutique consultancy for organizations that need the judgment of a seasoned CISO without the overhead of hiring one. Risk assessments, penetration testing, and compliance programs delivered by practitioners — not account managers.
Security Risk Assessments
NIST/DISA-grounded evaluations that map real risk to real business impact.
Penetration Testing
Controlled adversarial testing of networks, applications, and cloud environments.
Compliance Programs
SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, CMMC — shipped, not shelved.
Fractional CISO
Strategic security leadership available by the quarter, retainer, or engagement.
Twenty years of hands on the keyboard — and in the boardroom.
We don’t hand off to juniors. Every engagement is led by a senior practitioner with deep experience across government, Fortune 500, and high-growth startups. You get advice that’s tactically credible and strategically sound — the kind of counsel that survives contact with your auditor, your board, and your attackers.
Most consultancies sell you a deliverable. We sell you an outcome. Whether that’s passing a SOC 2 Type II, surviving a DoD supplier review, or simply knowing where your real exposure lives — we’re measured by whether your security program is demonstrably better when we leave than when we arrived.
We work with growing businesses in IT, telecom, healthcare, finance, and defense. Our clients tend to be the people who’ve been burned by big-firm bait-and-switch, drowned in template deliverables, or told “it depends” one too many times.
