Zero Trust

What Zero Trust does

Zero Trust SAS is a French cybersecurity vendor founded in 2017 and headquartered in Saint-Denis (Île-de-France), operating as a 100% bootstrapped, founder-led private company. It sells ZDR360+, a NextGen XDR-MDR platform that combines AI-driven anomaly detection with managed SOC services to provide continuous, horizontal protection across endpoints, networks, cloud, identity, email, and on-premise systems. The architecture is explicitly differentiated as 'horizontal and continuous' against vertical silo products such as EDRs and firewalls, with proprietary intelligence layered onto market-standard tooling and AI capabilities operational in production since 2017.

The product portfolio is anchored by ZDR360+ and extended with a suite of environment-specific managed SOC services (ZT SOC O365, ZT SOC Azure, ZT SOC AWS, ZT SOC GCP, ZT SOC GWS, and ZT SOC On-Premise), plus add-on modules for automated cloud compliance audits (Audit Automatisé Cloud) and external dark-web leak monitoring (Détection Dark Web). Zero Trust sells via a consultative direct enterprise motion to French PME (200+ employees) and ETI (up to 9,000 employees) customers, with associated audit, integration, and training engagements serving as entry points; pricing is fixed/forfait on annual cycles with no per-volume log or per-ticket fees. Customers span transport/logistics (VIIA), banking (BGFI Bank), public/culture (Centre National du Livre, AFDAS), energy (RTE), and education (CEGEP), supported by partnerships such as the 2025 co-development with Carinel on NIS-2 compliance.

Commercial positioning leans heavily on three structural narratives: French data sovereignty (avoiding Cloud Act exposure and aligning with RGPD, NIS-2, DORA), enterprise-grade protection at PME-ETI pricing via forfait cost models, and rapid deployment (30 minutes on cloud, days on-premise). The company has public recognition as a Jeune Entreprise Innovante validated by a CNRS-affiliated auditor, a reported 96% customer retention since founding, a 4.8/5 customer satisfaction rating, and an 80% reduction in false positives achieved within months of deployment for at least one transport-sector ETI client.

Direct peers

• Sekoia.io: French XDR/SOC platform provider serving European enterprises and public sector with managed detection and response, similar to Zero Trust's ZDR360+ positioning. Competes directly on European-sovereignty narrative and mid-market SOC coverage.
• HarfangLab: French EDR/XDR vendor with strong positioning in sovereignty-sensitive organizations and CNIL/ANSSI alignment. Directly competes with Zero Trust in the French mid-market endpoint detection space.
• Stormshield: European cybersecurity vendor (subsidiary of Airbus) offering endpoint, network, and data security with EU/sovereignty positioning. Comparable to Zero Trust as a French-rooted security platform targeting regulated European organizations.

Broad incumbents

• Orange Cyberdefense: Largest French MSSP offering managed SOC, XDR, and consulting services to enterprise and mid-market. Overlaps directly with Zero Trust's ZDR360+ and ZT SOC offerings across the same French PME/ETI buyer base.
• CrowdStrike: Global XDR/MDR leader with Falcon platform covering endpoint, cloud, identity, and managed detection. Competes with Zero Trust on AI-driven detection and increasingly on the mid-market as CrowdStrike moves down-market.
