The company delivers strategic cybersecurity consulting (Risk & Strategy, Incident Response) and operational managed services (24/7 SOC monitoring, continuous security management) to large enterprises and public institutions in critical sectors including defense, energy, finance, healthcare, and industry. Its named client base includes Belgian federal institutions (SPF Chancellerie, EEAS, SPF Mobilité, SPF Finances, FSMA, SKEYES), large industrial and financial groups (Airbus, AG Insurance, Sibelga, STIB, Lhoist, Rossel, Sofina), and hospital networks (GHDC, IPG, Epicura, Chwapi, Chirec).

The firm is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, a member of HEXATRUST and the Belgian Cyber Security Coalition, and operates the All Cyber School training academy launched in August 2023.

CSM generates revenue through customized, quote-based professional services engagements and recurring managed-service contracts, distributed exclusively through direct enterprise sales targeting CIOs, CISOs, and executive boards. Marketing relies on thought leadership at European conferences (FIC, Cybersec Europe, Forum Incyber), media commentary, client testimonials, and the All Cyber School platform. In September 2025, CSM announced a strategic €20 million contract win, and the firm has expanded geographically into Luxembourg (2022) and Flanders (2023), while opening new headquarters in Braine-l'Alleud in February 2026.

Regional players

• S2 Grupo: Spanish cybersecurity services firm offering managed SOC, incident response and consulting to critical infrastructure and government, primarily in Iberia. Comparable in size, sovereign positioning and vertical focus, but operates in a different geography than CSM.
• Tinexta Cyber: Italian cybersecurity and digital trust consultancy (Tinexta Group, formerly Corvallis) serving Italian enterprise and public sector with GRC, managed security and compliance. Comparable in vertical specialisation and mid-market services profile but geographically distinct from CSM.

Broad incumbents

• Orange Cyberdefense: European MSSP and SOC-as-a-service arm of Orange, providing managed detection, incident response and consulting across Benelux and France. Operates at much larger scale than CSM but competes directly for the same enterprise and public-sector managed cyber contracts.
• Devoteam: European IT and digital transformation consultancy with a sizeable cyber, cloud and risk practice serving enterprise and public-sector clients across Benelux. Competes for the same strategic cyber advisory and cloud security transformation mandates as CSM.
• Thales Cyber & Digital: European defence and digital security prime serving governments, defence, energy and transport with cybersecurity products, SOC services and consulting. Overlaps with CSM in critical-infrastructure and sovereignty-led deals, particularly in Belgium and France.
• Capgemini Invent (Cybersecurity): Global consulting and systems integrator with a dedicated cybersecurity practice serving European critical infrastructure and governments. Competes on large NIS2, GRC, and managed security transformation programmes; CSM can serve as a local specialist sub-contractor.

Others

• IDECSI: European email and data access security vendor whose products CSM deploys for clients like RTBF. A technology partner rather than competitor, but represents the type of sovereign European security ISV that CSM depends on for delivery and credibility.
• Wallix: European Privileged Access Management vendor whose Bastion product CSM integrates for clients including SPF Chancellerie and RTBF. Not a direct competitor but a key technology dependency that shapes CSM's sovereign-cyber narrative and delivery economics.

Direct peers

• Advens: French cybersecurity services firm and explicit CSM partner since June 2020, offering managed SOC, GRC advisory and sovereign solutions across Europe. Closest comparable in terms of European-sovereign positioning, MSSP + advisory mix, and mid-sized services scale.
• Secutec: Belgian cybersecurity firm and CSM GTM partner, focused on threat detection, SOC, and endpoint/network security for Belgian enterprises and government. Head-to-head competitor for the same Belgian mid-market and public-sector wallet.
