Orange Business has earned the prestigious SecNumCloud qualification from the French Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI) for its Cloud Avenue SecNum platform. This recognition, considered Europe’s strictest security standard, validates the platform’s ability to deliver secure, sovereign Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) environments, enabling organizations to deploy critical services with confidence.
Cloud Avenue SecNum, hosted in a sustainable data center in Grenoble, France, and managed by dedicated French teams, prioritizes data sovereignty and compliance with stringent French and European regulations. The platform’s modular architecture and as-a-service model empower organizations with greater autonomy and technological control. Built-in security features, including encryption, key management, network isolation, and access control, ensure robust protection and traceability, making it ideal for sensitive sectors like industry, banking, healthcare, defense, and public services.
The SecNumCloud qualification, granted by ANSSI, confirms that Cloud Avenue SecNum meets over 500 rigorous technical and organizational requirements. “At Orange Business, our mission is to deliver unwavering trust and control over cloud infrastructures for our customers. SecNumCloud qualification demonstrates our commitment to sovereignty and confirms that our Cloud Avenue SecNum solution adheres to the strictest security and compliance standards. This validation reinforces our dedication toward our customers who are facing the complexities of an ever-changing digital landscape,” says Aliette Mousnier-Lompré, CEO of Orange Business. This achievement positions Orange Business among a select group of seven French companies with this elite qualification.
The platform streamlines compliance and operational processes for organizations. “The platform provides us with the necessary security and compliance to meet regulations such as the French state ‘Cloud Doctrine’, while also enabling us to gain autonomy with our testing and development. Additionally, Cloud Avenue SecNum allows us to significantly reduce time spent certifying our user online services in accordance with the General Security Referential (RGS), thereby optimizing our operational efficiency,” said Frederic Beon, Director of Information Systems and Digital Organization for the Gers Department. This efficiency is critical for public and private entities managing sensitive data.
Cloud Avenue SecNum is a cornerstone of Orange Business’s broader Cloud Avenue portfolio, which offers flexible, modular cloud solutions across Europe, including France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden. Designed to meet diverse organizational needs, the portfolio ensures full data control and compliance, making it a trusted choice for enterprises navigating complex regulatory landscapes.
