What Metsys does

Metsys is a French IT services company that provides cybersecurity, managed services, cloud infrastructure, modern workplace, and AI/data services to French enterprises and mid-market organizations. Founded in 2011 (with operating presence since 2013), the company is headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt and operates additional offices in Rennes, Toulouse, Nantes, and Aix-en-Provence, employing approximately 500 people across France. Metsys is a subsidiary of European Digital Group (EDG), with Laurent Cayatte serving as co-founder and president and Hervé Thibault as chief technology officer. The company positions itself as a "Digital Trust Builder" with cybersecurity as its primary value driver, organized around six service lines: Cyber Security, Augmented Managed Services, Cloud & Infrastructure Services, Modern Work, Network Infrastructure Services, and AI/Data & Business Apps.

The company's technology foundation is Microsoft-centric, operating as a Microsoft Solutions Partner across Security, Cloud, Data & AI, and Azure designations and a member of MISA. Metsys runs its own 24/7 SOC, NOC, and VOC in France, an internal CERT with published PGP key and RFC 2350 documentation, and a CTI platform based on the open-source OpenCTI framework. AI and generative AI (including Microsoft Copilot) are used to augment threat detection, log analysis, alert correlation, and vulnerability prioritization, while a dedicated AI Protection practice addresses security risks specific to LLMs, Copilot deployments, and AI agents. The technology portfolio is supported by a 30+ vendor partner ecosystem spanning endpoint, network, identity, data, and cloud categories, including French sovereign vendors (HarfangLab, Tehtris, Stormshield, Dream On Technology, Systancia, Tenacy) for clients requiring European-controlled architectures.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: managed services (MSP) with monthly recurring subscriptions across Microsoft 365, Intune, and Azure environments; managed security services (MSSP) with subscription-based recurring revenue, tiered service levels, and guaranteed SLAs (4-hour to 2-day response times); and project-based professional services including consulting, penetration testing, security audits, integration, and training. Pricing for managed services is tiered (e.g., three Premium Support Center tiers plus a €490/month Reassurance add-on) but not publicly disclosed across the full portfolio. The go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales targeting IT directors, CISOs, and CIOs in regulated French industries, supported by an event-driven demand generation strategy including the monthly Concordance Club C-level networking series in Paris, a podcast (Metsys Wave), webinars, an active LinkedIn presence, and a content library of 40+ expert articles.
