Erys Group

What Erys Group does

Erys Group is an independent French private security operator founded in 2010 and headquartered in Paris (26 rue de Chambéry, 75015). It provides "augmented security" solutions to enterprises, institutions, and government entities through five wholly-owned subsidiaries: Erys Sécurité (property protection, fire safety, surveillance), Erys Protection (close protection of persons), Erys Défense (armed security for sensitive sites), Erys Solutions (international security engineering and consulting), and Erys Formation (professional training). The group organizes its offering into four dedicated verticals — Sites Sensibles (sensitive/critical infrastructure including nuclear sites and PIV/OIV under SGDSN oversight), Maisons du Luxe (luxury brand security), Corporate (headquarters, banks, cultural institutions), and Projets Internationaux (energy, mining, construction, telecoms in complex environments) — supported by cross-functional competencies in security engineering, fire safety, and personnel protection.

The company's core technology stack consists of proprietary sector-specific referentials (Luxe Attitude, Sites Sensibles, Corporate Attitude, International Projects) and a socio-economic engagement methodology for international projects, rather than a software platform. Its differentiators include first-mover regulatory credentials (ICoCA membership since 2015, ISO 18788:2015 since 2018, ANSI/ASIS PSC.1-2012 since 2018, Qualianor radioprotection since 2017), CNAPS authorizations for armed operations (including sole permanent ASR-2S missions on sensitive sites), and a talent pipeline drawing from elite state units and veterans.

Erys operates a professional services revenue model via custom multi-year B2B/B2G contracts priced on scope, personnel qualifications, and operational complexity, delivered through dedicated account managers (chargés d'affaires). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is led by President Jean-Jacques Duclaut (since October 2023) and is privately held as a SAS with no disclosed external investment.

• Prosegur: Spanish-headquartered global security group with cash-in-transit, guarding, and security technology divisions across Europe and LatAm. Overlaps with Erys on integrated guarding and high-value-asset protection services.

• Sodexo (Security & Protective Services): French-headquartered global facility services group with a dedicated security, reception, and risk mitigation division serving corporate and institutional clients. Comparable integrated facilities-and-security value proposition though diluted within a much broader FM portfolio.
