We build bespoke environments tailored to your specific operational needs and business outcomes.

We do not believe in generic managed environments.

When ongoing support is required, we design and maintain bespoke systems tailored to your operational needs—not ours.

Tooling is selected based on how your team works, not what simplifies service delivery.

You retain full ownership of your infrastructure.
No vendor lock-in. No artificial dependencies.

Cyber Security, Risk, Compliance, & Governance

We design and operate risk-based security programs that protect what actually matters.

Most security providers lead with tools and templates. Mantle brings senior judgment, clear ownership, and a pragmatic approach focused on outcomes—not products. Our work aligns security with business reality, regulatory expectations, and growth plans.

What this includes:

• Fractional Security Leadership (vCISO)
  Executive security leadership when you need it. We own strategy, budget, roadmap, and board-level reporting—without requiring a full-time hire.

• Compliance & Audit Readiness
  Guidance across the frameworks and certifications your business requires, including regulatory compliance, security standards, privacy obligations, audit readiness, and IPO preparation.

• Security Program Design & Execution
  Implementation of the controls your environment actually needs across the full lifecycle—identify, protect, detect, respond, recover, govern—designed, documented, and handed off so your team can operate with confidence.

• Incident Preparedness & Response
  Programs built and tested before something goes wrong. Playbooks, tabletop exercises, legal coordination, and regulatory response planning.

• Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
  Plans that are pressure-tested and ready for challenging scenarios. We identify critical operations, design recovery strategies, and test them so they work when needed.

• Independent Security Assessments
  Objective evaluation of your current posture with a prioritized roadmap. Clear guidance on what’s broken, what matters most, and where vendors are—or aren’t—delivering value.

• On-Demand Advisory
  Senior counsel as needed—M&A diligence, vendor selection, AI governance, contract review, and insurance support—without full program ownership.
