What AKAOMA does

AKAOMA SARL is a French cybersecurity services company founded in 2002 and headquartered in Jouy-sur-Eure, France. The firm delivers an integrated portfolio spanning professional certification training (CISSP, CEH, SSCP, CCSP), security audits and penetration testing, strategic consulting including CISO/RSSI delegation, digital forensics investigations, and incident response through its CERT-AKAOMA computer emergency response team. It also operates a proprietary CVE vulnerability tracking platform at cve.akaoma.com that aggregates global vulnerability data with updates approximately every 30 minutes and provides CVSS scoring tools, trend analytics, and an archive of more than 355,000 tracked vulnerabilities.

The product surface is anchored by four core assets: a dedicated eLearning platform for international cybersecurity certifications accessible 24/7; security audit and pentesting services covering web applications and infrastructure; CERT-AKAOMA for proactive monitoring, alerting, and incident response; and the CVE intelligence platform. Training is delivered in in-person, hybrid, or fully online formats. The legal entity is structured as a SARL (Société à Responsabilité Limitée) with €1,000 registered capital (RCS Évreux B 443 567 482, APE 6202A), operates with 1–10 employees, and is privately held by its founders without institutional funding or parent-company ownership.

AKAOMA monetizes primarily through professional services and training subscriptions: corporate training delivered via multi-year intra-enterprise contracts, individual training on an annual inter-enterprise basis, and eLearning access on a monthly cadence. Consulting missions follow cost-plus-15% management fee billing, and engagement-specific commercial proposals are issued for enterprise customers. The customer base spans French government institutions (Ministry of Defense, National Assembly, Gendarmerie Nationale, Banque de France, Santé Publique France), large enterprises in banking (Société Générale, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, Groupe BPCE), energy (Total, Engie), defense (Airbus Cybersecurity, Safran), transportation (SNCF, Alstom, Nokia), and luxury (Kering), alongside select international organizations (WTO, Principauté de Monaco). The firm holds a registered CNIL declaration (number 1640994) and operates its own trademark "Akaoma® Cybersécurité."
