Egerie: Cyber Risk Governance Platform Based in France

Egerie Software SAS, headquartered in Toulon, France, is a specialised cybersecurity firm offering an integrated Governance-Risk-Compliance (GRC) platform for cyber risk management. Its key innovation is to build a “digital twin” of an organisation’s information assets and processes, allowing users to model prospective cyber threats and quantify risk in business terms. This French-developed platform aims to turn regulatory compliance (e.g. ISO standards, NIS2, DORA) into actionable cyber governance. By providing an EU-based alternative to foreign software, Egerie strengthens Europe’s cyber resilience.

The company has rapidly scaled in recent years – Tech.eu reported that the “Toulon-based cyber risk management firm” raised €30 million of funding in early 2023 – indicating institutional confidence in its growth. Egerie positions itself at the intersection of corporate IT security and critical infrastructure protection, aligning with EU/NATO cyber defence objectives without relying on non-allied technology sources. Egerie is a private French software company (scale-up) founded ca. 2016.

It develops a cyber risk management platform, categorised under the Cyber resilience EDT priority. Key technologies include enterprise risk analysis, compliance automation, and simulation (“digital twin”) of networks. This directly supports the cyber defence capabilities of European and NATO organisations by improving situational awareness of vulnerabilities. Egerie’s solution can substitute non-EU GRC products, thereby enhancing European autonomy in cyber tools.

Its major clients (Orange, Veolia, Accenture etc.) are large European firms, indicating market penetration in critical sectors. Institutional backing comes from European investors (Tikehau Capital, Banque des Territoires, etc.); however, Egerie has not been a beneficiary of EDF/PESCO or stepped sovereign programmes. The company’s role is as a technology provider (software platform) in cyber value chains, with no known defence prime partnerships. It aligns with NATO/EU multi-domain doctrine by bolstering collective cyber defense and compliance.
