Ancharia

What Ancharia does

Ancharia srl is an Italian private cybersecurity services company founded in 2022 and headquartered across two sites in Ancona and Jesi (Marche region). It sells a portfolio of consulting, testing, and managed-monitoring services to mid-market and enterprise clients in Italy, with public-facing claims of global reach. Service lines include regulatory compliance advisory (NIS2, ISO27001, DORA, CRA, RED, MDR, GDPR, AI Act), penetration testing (web, mobile, desktop, IoT/SCADA), vulnerability assessment and phishing simulation, and a 24/7 Security Operation Center (SOC) offered in conjunction with its proprietary Artemide platform. Ancharia also operates LAP, a cybersecurity testing laboratory accredited by Italy's National Cybersecurity Agency (ACN), which provides formal certification and compliance testing authority.

The company's technology stack centers on Artemide, an AI-driven cyber posture analysis and predictive threat protection platform that ingests OSINT, Surface Web, Dark Web, and threat intelligence feeds to forecast attacks and generate remediation and compliance reporting. Ancharia applies automated AI-assisted scanning alongside manual expert-led penetration testing in a four-stage methodology (reconnaissance, automated scan, manual analysis, reporting/mitigation). The go-to-market is sales-led and consultative: a free initial consultation, needs- and segment-based routing on the website, and quote-based pricing with annual subscription tiers for the Artemide platform and SOC. Customer logos disclosed on the website span Healthcare & MedTech, Manufacturing & Industry 4.0, Public Administration, Fintech & Legal, and SaaS & Software Houses.

The business operates as a bootstrapped private limited company (srl) with a stated share capital of €10,000, no disclosed venture or institutional funding, no parent company, and 1-10 employees. Revenue, headcount growth, and management team composition are not publicly disclosed, which limits external validation of scale.
