Scutum Group

What Scutum Group does

Scutum Group is a privately held French enterprise security provider, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Paris, that delivers integrated physical and digital security solutions to large enterprises, SMEs, and public-sector clients across 14 countries in Europe and the United States. The company operates a platform-plus-modules architecture: its Scutum Smart Security Platform centralizes video surveillance, intrusion detection, fire safety, access control, remote monitoring, lone-worker protection (PTI), travel risk management, and cybersecurity into a single supervisory layer, supported by 5 APSAD P5 certified 24/7 monitoring centers, 425,000 connected sites, and 3,000+ staff. Around this core it has built multiple sub-brands (Khéops, Scutum Incendie, Scutum Premium Services, IVOXE, Cyber by SCUTUM, VK Electronics) covering fire safety, premium services, and cybersecurity.

The company generates revenue through a mix of recurring subscription-based remote monitoring contracts and professional services for systems integration and installation, with pricing quote-based and dependent on site count, risk profile, and required supervision level. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales augmented by a partner/reseller network and dedicated client and partner portals; named customers include Notre-Dame de Paris, DB Schenker, Africa Global Logistics, Marionnaud, Motul, Université d'Exeter, Marché International de Rungis, and Schnorpfeil, spanning logistics, retail, public/cultural heritage, industrial, and education verticals. Go-to-market also includes a tiered marketing program combining thought-leadership content, case studies, social media, and industry events.

Scutum is controlled by the Namy family and is backed by institutional investors Geneo Capital Entrepreneur (lead), Kartesia, Arkéa Capital Investissement, and Caisse d'Epargne Ile-de-France following a €55M quasi-equity round in February 2023 (preceded by a €17M bond in December 2021). Recent strategic action has focused on international expansion, with the April 2026 acquisition of German integrator Alarm- und Sicherheitstechnik B.W. GmbH (A+S) via its Scutum DACH subsidiary signaling continued roll-up activity in continental Europe.
