What Evidian does

Evidian is a French Identity and Access Management (IAM) software suite that operates as a product line within Eviden, the cybersecurity division of Atos Group, and was founded in 1999. Headquartered in Les Clayes-sous-Bois, France, with regional offices in Cologne (Germany) and Tokyo (Japan) and a wholly-owned Japanese subsidiary EVIDIAN-BULL JAPAN, the company serves more than 900 active enterprise clients across healthcare, finance, government, industry/enterprise, and telecommunications. Its flagship customer reference is Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) in Japan, where one of the world's largest identity governance deployments serves over 350,000 users. Leadership is led by David Leporini (Director of Cyber IAM Products and General Manager of Evidian), with Henry Ancona also listed as CEO in third-party data.

The company's technology portfolio spans the full IAM lifecycle: Orbion, a cloud-native Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) platform launched in 2024 covering identity governance, authentication, web access management, and analytics; Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) version 10 for automated user lifecycle, permissions, roles, audit, and reporting; Web Access Manager (WAM) version 9.0 providing SSO, multi-factor authentication, and identity federation for web applications; Authentication Manager for enterprise multi-factor and passwordless authentication on Windows PCs; Enterprise SSO for legacy and web application access; Self Service Password Reset (SSPR); DirX high-end LDAP X.500 directory services; and SafeKit SANless high-availability software (current release version 8.2, 2026) for real-time replication, automatic failover, and load balancing across Windows, Linux, virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes K3S, and AWS/Azure/GCP.

Evidian monetizes through a mix of quote-based enterprise software licenses (perpetual and subscription) for the IAM suite, per-node perpetual licensing for SafeKit, monthly SaaS subscriptions for Orbion (with a freemium free trial), and professional services for consulting, training, and operations support. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise field sales supplemented by a channel partner program with deal registration, regional language websites in French, German, Japanese, Spanish, and Chinese, and off-site deployment in collaboration with Eviden/Atos cybersecurity teams. The company holds the 2026 Cybersecurity Made In Europe Label and has a documented R&D pipeline in artificial intelligence aimed at automating IAM processes, though AI features are not yet in production.

Direct peers

• One Identity (Quest): Identity governance, privileged access, and AD management vendor. Competes directly with Evidian IGA and adjacent identity security capabilities in enterprise accounts.
• Okta: Leading cloud-native identity provider offering SSO, MFA, lifecycle management, and IGA. Direct competitor to Evidian's Orbion IDaaS and Enterprise SSO offerings for mid-market and enterprise customers globally.
• SailPoint: Pure-play Identity Governance and Administration vendor. Direct competitor to Evidian's IGA v10 product for enterprise compliance, access reviews, and lifecycle management use cases.
• CyberArk: Identity security vendor spanning privileged access management and workforce identity. Overlaps with Evidian's enterprise SSO, MFA, and privileged access segments, particularly in regulated industries.
• Ping Identity: Enterprise identity platform offering SSO, MFA, and identity federation. Direct competitor to Evidian's Web Access Manager and Enterprise SSO products in large enterprise and federation-heavy deployments.
• ForgeRock: Identity and access management platform serving large enterprises and government. Comparable to Evidian's full IAM suite (IGA + SSO + MFA), particularly in regulated European and telecom verticals.
• Auth0 (Okta): Developer-focused identity platform for customer identity and workforce SSO/MFA. Competes with Orbion IDaaS in developer and mid-market segments adopting cloud IAM.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory): Identity platform bundled into Microsoft 365 and Azure enterprise estates. Competes with Evidian's SSO, MFA, and IGA at the low end for free and at the high end through Entra ID Governance, particularly in Microsoft-centric enterprises.
