TIL TECHNOLOGIES

What TIL TECHNOLOGIES does

TIL TECHNOLOGIES, operating legally as HIRSCH SECURE SAS, is a French manufacturer of electronic security systems founded in 1988 and headquartered in Aix-en-Provence, France. The company designs, produces, and markets an integrated building security platform built around MICROSESAME unified supervision software and proprietary hardware including TILLYS CUBE multifunction controllers, MLP2 access-control modules, and EVOLUTION 13.56 MHz RFID readers. The architecture uses encrypted RS485 bus communications with AES-128, EAL5+ tamper-proof secure elements, and ANSSI CSPN-certified security spanning the entire chain from credential to server station — the company has been CSPN-certified four times since 2018, with the latest valid through June 2026.

TIL sells exclusively through a three-tier certified integrator network (CERTIFIED, EXPERT, ELITE) of 3,000+ trained technicians, supported by two dedicated training centers running approximately 60 sessions per year for 400 attendees, a dedicated sales team for engineering consulting offices, and BIM objects for building information modeling. Revenue is generated through hardware sales, MICROSESAME software licenses, annual maintenance contracts (averaging approximately 3% of total system cost per year), professional training, and on-site technical implementation (10 technicians delivering ~800 days of intervention per year). End customers span banking, defense, healthcare, transport, government, industry, tertiary, and commerce/leisure sectors, with named references including BNP Paribas, Société Générale, Crédit Agricole, SNCF, NAVAL GROUP, CEA, and the French Ministry of Defense across 6,000+ installed sites.

TIL operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of HIRSCH GROUP (formerly VITAPROTECH), a European alliance of 14 companies reporting approximately €100 million in group sales. Effective July 1, 2025, TIL TECHNOLOGIES, SORHEA, and COSSILYS were consolidated under a unified HIRSCH brand dedicated to the integrator sales channel, following the late-2024 acquisition of IDENTIV's security activities. The company invests 30% of its workforce in R&D, holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2019 certifications, and has been a UN Global Compact signatory since 2004.

Core offering

TIL TECHNOLOGIES manufactures and markets electronic security systems for buildings, combining proprietary hardware (TILLYS CUBE controllers, MLP2 modules, EVOLUTION RFID readers) and the MICROSESAME unified supervision software platform. The integrated offering provides certified access control, intrusion detection, video supervision, intercom, and technical building management for enterprise and government sites. Products are sold exclusively through a three-tier certified integrator partner network (CERTIFIED, EXPERT, ELITE) with ANSSI CSPN-certified cyber-secure architecture covering the entire chain from badge to server.

Product overview

TIL TECHNOLOGIES offers a modular electronic security and building management platform consisting of the core MICROSESAME unified supervision software paired with specialized hardware. The platform provides integrated access control, intrusion detection, and building management through multiple product families: TILLYS CUBE controllers serve as the central processing units, supported by specialized input/output modules (MLP2 for access control readers, MLIO16 for intrusion/BMS, MLGTB for technical building management, MLCK/EQUILOCK for intrusion sensors, MLR8 for relay extensions). User interfaces include TACTILLYS CUBE and VAULTYS CUBE touchscreen keyboards. Access control readers span EVOLUTION RFID readers, biometric readers (MORPHOWAVE), mobile readers (MOBILIS 3), license plate readers (MICROPAK/NANOPAK/VEGA), and mechatronic integrations (SMARTINTEGO, APERIO). The platform is ANSSI CSPN certified with encrypted communications throughout the hardware architecture.

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• HID Global: HID Global is a leading manufacturer of access control readers, credentials, and identity solutions. Direct competitor to TIL's EVOLUTION RFID and biometric readers, and an explicit technology integration partner (TIL integrates the full HID reader range). Competes head-to-head in French government and enterprise access control projects, though HID's offerings are broader and not ANSSI-certified at the system level.
• Nedap: Nedap (Netherlands) provides AEOS, a physical access control platform widely deployed across European enterprise, healthcare, and government. Direct competitor to MICROSESAME in the European mid-to-large enterprise segment with comparable vertical coverage.
• STid: STid is a French RFID reader manufacturer specializing in secure identification for access control, with strong positions in French government, defense, and industry. Directly competes with TIL's EVOLUTION reader line and is also an explicit technology integration partner via MICROSESAME native connectors.
• SALTO Systems: SALTO Systems is a Spanish manufacturer of electronic access control with strong positions in commercial real estate, hospitality, and education across Europe. Directly comparable to TIL's mechatronic and online wireless access control offerings (SALTO Space, SALTO KS).
• Genetec: Genetec Security Center is a unified security platform combining video surveillance, access control, and license plate recognition — directly comparable to TIL's MICROSESAME unified supervision platform. Both compete in the French/European PSIM-adjacent market; Genetec is also an explicit integration partner with TIL.

Broad incumbents

• Bosch Security Systems: Bosch Security Systems (now Bosch Building Technologies) offers integrated access control, video surveillance, and intrusion detection as part of a broader building technologies portfolio. Broad incumbent competing with TIL across enterprise, transport, and government verticals, with much greater scale.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Honeywell Building Technologies offers integrated security, access control, and building management solutions (Pro-Watch, WIN-PAK). Broad incumbent competing with TIL across commercial real estate, healthcare, and large enterprise verticals globally, with deeper cloud-managed product investments.
• ASSA ABLOY: ASSA ABLOY is the world's largest lock and access solutions group, with brands including APERIO, CLIQ, and TRAKA. Both an integration partner of TIL (via MICROSESAME native connectors) and a broad incumbent competitor in wireless/mechatronic access control across Europe. Operates at vastly greater scale than TIL.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Siemens Smart Infrastructure provides building security, access control, and integrated building management as part of its broader smart-building portfolio. Competes with TIL in large enterprise, healthcare, and critical infrastructure projects across Europe, with significantly greater scale and integration capabilities.

Emerging players

• IDEMIA: IDEMIA is a global leader in biometric and identity solutions, with the MORPHO fingerprint/wave reader family integrated into MICROSESAME. While primarily a biometrics specialist (not a unified access control platform competitor), IDEMIA's biometric technology overlaps with TIL's high-security MORPHOWAVE integration, and IDEMIA is a strategic partner for sensitive-site deployments.
