What Coralium does

Coralium is a French cybersecurity consulting firm (SAS) founded in 2020 and headquartered in Paris at 10 Rue de Penthièvre. It is a subsidiary of ADVANS Group and serves primarily small and medium-sized enterprises (TPE/PME) in France, with extensions into mid-sized companies (ETI), healthcare organizations, and local government entities. The company operates a portfolio organized around four pillars: Protection (security audits including Audit Flash, maturity audits, and 360° group assessments), Offensive Security (external/internal penetration testing, phishing simulation, OSINT), Process & Documentation (EBIOS RM risk analysis, PSSI/PRA/PCA plans, shared CISO/RSSI), and a Training Academy. It also offers a Micro-SOC managed security service and extensive compliance/certification support spanning ISO 27001/27017/27018/27701, GDPR, SOC 2, PCI DSS, CMMC, ANSSI SecNumCloud, and healthcare-specific frameworks.

The underlying technology stack is methodology-driven rather than proprietary-software-driven. Coralium applies established frameworks including OWASP for penetration testing and the ANSSI-developed EBIOS RM for risk analysis, with consultants certified as CEH, CREST, and ISO 27001 Lead Implementers. The Micro-SOC offering layers human expert validation on top of third-party EDR solutions rather than proprietary AI/ML detection engines. There is no public API, no disclosed SDK, and no AI-specific capabilities; the competitive product is the certified expertise of its consultants.

Commercially, Coralium bills via a Taux Journalier Moyen (TJM) daily-rate model with mission durations typically of 5-20 days and occasional complex engagements of up to ~100 days. Go-to-market is sales-led and primarily direct, supported by content marketing (a cybersecurity blog), a website-based diagnostic tool, and LinkedIn. The company reportedly secured over 60 clients by 2021, with named customers spanning startups (Angelaw, HappyPal), SMBs (Exaqtworld, Evermaps), and larger enterprises (Cyber Group Studios, SMEDAR) across technology, media, and industrial sectors. No external funding or disclosed revenue figures are available, and equity capital is the statutory €3,000 SAS minimum.

Direct peers

• Advens: French-origin cybersecurity consulting and managed detection firm specializing in SOC, pentest, GRC and compliance for mid-market and large enterprises. Closest direct competitor to Coralium in geography, service mix, and SME/ETI focus.

Emerging players

• Sekoia.io: French cybersecurity SaaS/MSSP providing a CTI-driven SOC platform and managed detection services. Comparable to Coralium in French-market focus and SOC/security operations offerings, but product-led rather than purely consulting-led.
• YesWeHack: French bug bounty and vulnerability management platform with adjacent offensive-security services. Comparable in French market and offensive-security focus, though more product/platform oriented than pure consulting.
