Who We Are
Independent, expert support for secure email operations—especially for organisations using Mimecast.
We created Cydaura to make expert, independent support for secure email operations more accessible—especially for organisations using Mimecast.
Mimecast's own Professional Services are limited and overstretched, meaning only a select few customers each year get access to tailored help. That didn't sit right with us. Too many teams are left to navigate complex implementations, migrations or decommissions without the guidance they need.
Cydaura exists to change that. We believe better email security and Mimecast configurations should be the industry standard, not the exception. Whether you're optimising what you've got or planning what's next, we're here to help you get email security right—confidently and efficiently.
Our Mission
At Cydaura, we believe that effective cybersecurity is not just about technology - it's about people, processes, and a deep understanding of your organization's unique challenges. Our mission is to empower organizations with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to build robust security programs that protect their most valuable assets.
Our Approach
We take a holistic approach to cybersecurity, combining technical expertise with strategic thinking and practical implementation. Our team works closely with clients to understand their specific needs and develop tailored solutions that address their unique security challenges.
Independence That Puts You First
We're not here to sell licenses, hit quotas or steer you towards renewals. We're here to help you make the most of the tech you already have—or make a confident move when the time is right.
As an independent consultancy, we put your objectives first. That means honest conversations, practical advice, and solutions tailored to your environment, not someone else's sales target.
