Squad, a consulting firm specializing in cybersecurity, has been recognized by the French National Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI) since 2020 as a trusted provider for conducting IT security audits on any sensitive information system belonging to a French public body or essential service. To this end, ANSSI formalizes this recognition by issuing the Security Visa with PASSI RGS certification.
Squad continues to grow and has obtained PASSI LPM certification, enabling it to perform cybersecurity audits on all IT systems covered by the French Military Programming Law (LPM), regardless of the sector concerned (national defense, energy, finance, etc.).
Yoann MOREAU, Director of Squad's Audit & Consulting BU, attended the official presentation of this new qualification on December 11:
"We are very proud to have obtained ANSSI's PASSI LPM certification and are delighted to be able to strengthen our actions in the field of cyber defense of France's vital interests. Thanks to this new certification, which attests to our expertise in this area, we can now fully leverage our know-how to help secure French Operators of Vital Importance, who are increasingly targeted given the current geopolitical context."
After obtaining PASSI RGS and LPM certification, Squad is now aiming for athird ANSSI certification: PACS, which will enable it to be recognized as a trusted provider for risk analysis, certification, and security architecture design.
