cycura GmbH

cycura GmbH is a German cybersecurity company that positions itself as a Microsoft security boutique. Based in Einbeck, Germany, the firm focuses on securing Microsoft 365 and Azure environments for organizations ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises to DAX-listed corporations. Rather than selling individual security tools, cycura emphasizes establishing a clearly defined, verifiable security standard — a "Secure Microsoft Tenant" — that is transparent to operations, management, and auditors. The company was founded by Ann-Katrin Lange, who serves as CEO and is described as one of Germany's best-known cybersecurity experts. Under her leadership, cycura has built a reputation for crisis management, including negotiating with ransomware attackers, and for advising businesses on building resilient security architectures from the ground up with a security-by-design focus. cycura's service portfolio is organized into three domains: strategic and architectural consulting (including Tenant Health Checks, Security Target Architecture, and Implementation Roadmaps), preventive security services (such as Red Tenant exercises), and a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC). The firm also offers NIS2 and security compliance support, targeted assessments, and emergency tenant services. Its approach is vendor- and tool-agnostic, aiming to create a defined baseline for security decisions. In addition to its consulting and managed services, cycura produces a podcast called "CyberSec shall be C-Level Priority," aimed at IT leaders, CISOs, and decision-makers. The company operates primarily in the German market and communicates in both German and English through its website.
