What MyCena Security Solutions does

MyCena Security Solutions (legal entity: MyCena Limited, incorporated 2016 in England and Wales, headquartered at International House, 24 Holborn Viaduct, London) is a private cybersecurity vendor that has built a Credential Control Platform architected around a single thesis: separating identity from access by ensuring the organization — rather than the user — generates, encrypts, distributes, and revokes every credential, while users never know or hold them. The underlying mechanism, protected by granted patents in the US and Europe (MASS Data method plus core credential control mechanism), is deployed as a software overlay above existing infrastructure (Active Directory, EntraID, SSO, PAM, MFA, Zero Trust) without requiring modifications to the underlying identity stack. The platform produces continuous audit and compliance evidence as a byproduct of normal operation, with advertised revocation latency of under 10 seconds versus an industry-claimed average of 3.2 days.

The product portfolio comprises MyCena Personal Fortress (a consumer mobile application), MyCena Desk Center, and MyCena Business Fortress (enterprise Console-and-Application solutions). Enterprise capabilities are sold in three subscription tiers — Unphishability at £500/user/year, Resilience at £800/user/year, and Governance at £1,000/user/year — mapped to credential control maturity levels and regulatory evidence depth. The company positions its architecture against regulatory frameworks including DORA, NIS2, PCI DSS v4.0, HIPAA, ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, CMMC 2.0, and FedRAMP Moderate.

Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales (two-week proof-of-value deployments on 50-200 user scopes targeting 1,000+ user organisations) with a dedicated channel programme for Managed Service Providers (priced per client environment) and Business Process Outsourcers (per-agent per-year with revenue-share options). Target verticals include Manufacturing & Industrial, Financial Services, Healthcare, and MSPs as primary, with Defense & Government, Critical Infrastructure, BPO/Contact Centres, and Retail as secondary. Geographic focus is the United Kingdom with active US expansion initiated through the London & Partners Grow London Global Enterprise Tech Trade Mission (Atlanta, March 2026). The company has disclosed no funding rounds, no named end-customer logos, and no revenue figures in the available data.

Revenue model

1. Subscription Licensing (Per Seat): Annual or multi-year subscription model priced per user per year across three tiers: Unphishability (£500), Resilience (£800), and Governance (£1,000). Includes software overlay platform, management console, and applications.
2. MSP Channel Pricing: For Managed Service Providers, pricing structured per client environment rather than per engineer, reflecting MSP risk structure deploying engineers across multiple clients. MSP retains margin between wholesale MyCena pricing and service fee charged to clients.
3. BPO Agent Pricing: Per-agent per-year model for Business Process Outsourcers with revenue-share options available for large-scale deployments.
4. Managed Service (Credential Control as a Service): MSPs offer Credential Control as a managed service including credential generation/distribution to clients' users, monthly access reports for client auditors, revocation logs, and quarterly insurance evidence summaries — creating a new revenue line for MSPs.

Core offering

MyCena Security Solutions sells a patented Credential Control Platform that separates identity from access, allowing the organisation to centrally generate, encrypt, distribute, and inject credentials at authentication while users never see, store, or share them. The offering is delivered as a software overlay above existing Active Directory, SSO, and PAM infrastructure, sold via per-seat annual subscriptions across Unphishability, Resilience, and Governance tiers, with separate enterprise products (Desk Center, Business Fortress) and a consumer mobile app (Personal Fortress).

Product overview

MyCena Security Solutions offers three core products: MyCena Personal Fortress (a consumer mobile app), MyCena Desk Center, and MyCena Business Fortress (both enterprise business solutions). The enterprise products use a shared architecture — administrators manage credentials via a proprietary Console platform while end-users access systems through a desktop/mobile Application. The two enterprise tiers are differentiated by capability depth: Desk Center provides core credential generation, injection, and basic audit capabilities, while Business Fortress adds Shared MFA, Active Directory/EntraID integration, IP/device access restrictions, and credential auto-rotation. Both enterprise products are available in three subscription packages — Unphishability (£500/user/year), Resilience (£800/user/year), and Governance (£1,000/user/year) — representing ascending tiers of capability and compliance evidence generation. The product portfolio is unified by the core patented technology: separating identity from access so the organisation (not the user) controls every credential from central generation through invisible injection to instant revocation.

Products and services

• MyCena Desk Center Business solution enabling subscribers to manage systems, credentials, and users from an online Console. Administrators generate and distribute encrypted credentials centrally while users access systems through the MyCena Application. Designed for enterprise organisations requiring compliance evidence generation and GRC-compatible external API access.
• MyCena Business Fortress Business solution with the same Console and Application architecture as Desk Center, extended with Shared MFA, Active Directory and EntraID integration, centrally governed API access for third parties, IP and device access restrictions, and credential expiration control. Targets resilience-tier security needs.
• MyCena Personal Fortress Segmented digital access security mobile application for individual users that stores strong unique passwords under multiple levels of security on their devices without a master password. Uses fingerprint, PIN, face ID, lock pattern, passphrase, and security questions. Local AES-SHA256 encryption with patented MASS Data method.

Emerging players

• Bitwarden: Open-source password and secrets manager with enterprise tier; addresses credential lifecycle management for organizations seeking lower-cost alternatives to legacy IAM stacks, with growing enterprise traction.
• Axiom Security: Emerging just-in-time access and identity governance platform focused on cloud infrastructure credentials; represents the new wave of credential-control startups competing in the same architectural lane as MyCena.

Broad incumbents

• Okta: Leading cloud identity provider offering SSO, MFA, lifecycle management, and privileged access; addresses credential risk via identity verification rather than credential separation, competing for the same CISO buyer.
• Microsoft Entra ID: Massive-scale identity platform (formerly Azure AD) bundled into Microsoft 365; offers credential, SSO, and conditional access controls to enterprise customers and represents the default incumbent MyCena must displace or layer above.

Direct peers

• 1Password: Enterprise password and secrets manager with central vaults, shared vaults, and access controls; overlaps with MyCena's credential-governance use case for human users, particularly in the SMB and mid-market segments.
• HashiCorp Vault: Secrets management and credential brokering platform widely adopted in cloud and DevOps environments; competes on centralized credential issuance and lifecycle, addressing adjacent developer/automation credential workflows.
• CyberArk: Market leader in Privileged Access Management; offers credential vaulting, session management, and just-in-time access for enterprise credentials — the closest large-scale analogue to MyCena's credential-control architecture.
• Keeper Security: Password management, secrets vaulting, and privileged access for enterprises and MSPs; competes with MyCena's credential-vaulting and zero-knowledge architecture, and shares the MSP channel motion.
• Delinea: Cloud-native PAM platform (formerly Centrify + Thycotic) focused on privileged credential management, just-in-time access, and secrets governance — competing head-on with MyCena's credential-control thesis.
• BeyondTrust: Privileged Access Management and identity security vendor covering credential vaulting, remote access governance, and vendor access — overlapping directly with MyCena's enterprise credential-control use cases.
