OIV & Ministries
Cybersecurity of national interest: rigor, coordination and sovereignty
Our approach for Operators of Vital Importance (OIVs) and government ministries assesses the entire information system and critical IT environments. Securing infrastructure aims to reduce vulnerabilities and mitigate IT risk nationwide. We conduct IT security audits and assessments to verify compliance and operational security levels. Risk analysis maps attack scenarios and aligns risk management with business priorities. Our measures strengthen system security and the security of information systems exposed to advanced threats. Our technical recommendations include encryption and cryptography to protect sensitive data and communications. We test authentication mechanisms, password strength, and Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies to secure access. The program integrates the security of servers, workstations, and connected services to limit the attack surface. This approach evaluates digital security and resilience against cyberattacks and cybercrime. We define a clear IT security policy and operational security measures tailored to OIVs. The proposed security solutions (EDR, SIEM, network segmentation) improve the detection and response to security incidents. The plan prioritizes actions to make your IT systems secure and your confidential information protected. Our experts measure the level of security expected by the authorities and translate ANSSI requirements into auditable deliverables. The framework includes playbooks, procedures, and exercises to improve security incident management in operational mode. We assess network and system security to guarantee the continuity of essential public services. The security audit identifies technical vulnerabilities, configuration flaws, and exfiltration scenarios. Our system security recommendations cover encryption at rest, encryption in transit, and cryptographic best practices. Information systems security governance consolidates security policy, CIO responsibilities, and inter-entity coordination. Security measures include server hardening, segmentation, encrypted backups, and centralized monitoring. The project aims to protect the security of sensitive information processed by government agencies and public services. We help data controllers reconcile CNIL compliance, NIS2/LPM requirements, and auditable evidence. Our interventions reduce exposure to malicious actors, hackers, and targeted hacking scenarios. The final deliverable includes an IT mapping, a risk matrix, and a prioritized roadmap for long-term system security. Request an OIV audit—obtain an operational security roadmap and actionable recommendations.
Specific challenges for operators of vital importance and institutions
Critical infrastructure operators, sensitive operators, government ministries: you are subject to targeted attacks, critical resilience criteria, and strict compliance obligations. Every vulnerability is a potential breach of national security. Every incident can bring down an entire sector.

Production of verifiable and auditable deliverables
Working with qualified/trusted service providers
Outsourced services compliant with SecNumCloud or HDS
Orchestrating security between entities, departments, and partners
Integrated multi-level cyber governance
A rapidly evolving tech stack
Maintaining security consistency despite agility.
Responding to targeted attacks
Activation of alert, detection, and analysis systems
Auditable at any time by the State / sectoral authority
Documented, managed ISO/ANSSI approach
Strengthening national resilience
critical business continuity/disaster recovery, supply chain monitoring

Business value
Aligning behaviors with the strategic criticality of the IS
This route is ideal for:
Operators of Vital Importance (OIVs) as defined by the State
Ministries and central or decentralized government departments
Public health facilities with critical information systems (LPM/HDS)
Sovereign bodies subject to the LPM, NIS2 or sectoral doctrines (energy, transport, defense…)
