Anaya

What Anaya does

Anaya is a Paris-headquartered French ESN (Entreprise de Services Numériques) founded in 2005 by Cédric Aviron-Violet and Philippe Bienstock, specializing in data, IT project, cybersecurity, and rapid-industrialization consulting for major French accounts. Its service portfolio comprises four pillars: Data (Business Intelligence, Big Data, Data Science, Data Engineering, DataViz, Data Governance/Management), Projets SI (complex information-system project delivery in regulated sectors, typically via agile), Cybersécurité (SSI policy implementation, audits, penetration testing, ISO 27001/EBIOS RM risk analysis, ANSSI-compliant SI homologation), and Fast IT (rapid, lightweight industrialization — ETL development, data warehouse maintenance, regulatory reporting). The firm is recognized by ANSSI as a field partner for the cyber pillar of France Relance and is a member of Club EBIOS and GINUM, positioning it inside the French national cybersecurity and critical-infrastructure expert ecosystem.

The company operates an enterprise field-sales / staff-augmentation model, placing expert consultants on-site at client engagements across banking, insurance, energy, transport, retail, government, and other verticals. Pricing is quote-based and tied to consultant seniority, project scope, and duration; revenue is generated through long-term mission engagements rather than product sales. Its customer base spans roughly 40+ named major accounts — BNP Paribas, Société Générale, Crédit Agricole, BPCE, Banque de France, EDF, Air France, Allianz, AXA, Apple, AstraZeneca, Stellantis, Accor, several French ministries, and others — with no public pricing tiers or productized SaaS offering. Technology stack includes SAS9, Python, R, SQL, Spark, Hadoop, and agile methodologies, supporting capabilities in generative-AI chatbots for banking, AML/fraud detection, predictive analytics, and ETL/reporting industrialization.

The firm is registered as SASU Anaya (SIREN 483556650), remains founder-led and privately held, and operates from a single Paris headquarters (12 rue de Chalgrin, 75116) with expanding geographic coverage into the Grand Ouest region. Headcount is in the 101-250 range, with the DATA entity alone comprising 50+ specialized collaborators. Disclosed revenue is €5M (per company homepage), and the firm is actively recruiting with no public funding, M&A, or IPO signals. Anaya differentiates on a talent and culture thesis — an "artisan" approach emphasizing human relationships, low hierarchy, and recognized expertise in regulated-industry data and cyber consulting — rather than on proprietary technology or scale advantages.
