SECUTAIN

What SECUTAIN does

SECUTAIN is a Berlin-based managed security awareness service provider, operated as a brand of etomer GmbH within the teccle group, serving DACH-region enterprises (Germany and Austria) in regulated industries. The company targets organizations subject to ISO 27001, NIS2, TISAX, and KRITIS obligations, providing a cloud-based platform that integrates with SSO, LDAP/Active Directory, and existing LMS systems, and a managed delivery layer in which each client is assigned a dedicated personal awareness manager. Its customer base spans banking (Berlin Hyp), IT services (NTT Germany), energy (ONTRAS), logistics (Hermes Germany), tourism (DER Touristik), housing (WBM), public health (Gesundheitsamt Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis), broadcasting (REGIOCAST), and nonprofit (WWF Österreich, GiS), among others.

The platform is built around a tiered suite (SECUTAIN Starter, Flatrate, Grundschutz, Awareness, Resilienz, 360°) and a deep modular catalog including phishing, vishing, and smishing simulations, e-learning modules, in-person training, webinars, serious games (Buzz4Security, Sicherheitslücke, Escape-Koffer), OSINT, darknet/domain monitoring, and a VR experience. The proprietary K.M.E. methodology (Kennen, Machen, Etablieren — Know, Do, Establish) combines knowledge transfer with practical application and sustainable anchoring, and a 2025 launch added AI Voice Cloning for vishing simulations. SECUTAIN holds ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (TÜV Saarland) and TISAX (TÜV Nord) certifications, is a BSI Alliance for Cyber Security partner, and operates a GDPR-compliant cloud platform.

The business model is enterprise sales-led with quote-based annual subscription pricing and multi-year contracts at the upper tiers. Revenue mechanics combine managed services, recurring subscriptions, and modular professional services, with a free trial and Microsoft Bookings-based consultation as the entry point. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, no public financials, and no public headcount; growth is funded organically within the teccle group.
