Expertis Lab

What Expertis Lab does

Expertis Lab is a Paris-based independent IT judicial expertise firm founded in 2001 by Bruce Bonnaure, a court-appointed expert (Expert près les tribunaux). The firm operates from a single Paris headquarters at 157 boulevard Saint-Germain in the 6th arrondissement, with a four-expert team (Bruce Bonnaure, Benjamin Bauchet, Christopher Kikteff, Nicolas Gonin) and no disclosed external investors, subsidiaries, or funding rounds. Its service portfolio is organized into three pillars: (1) Constat Ordonnance Art.145 & Saisie Contrefaçon, executing digital evidence preservation and seizure under French Article 145 court orders in coordination with Commissaires de Justice; (2) Conseil — Assistance Technique et Contentieux, providing IT litigation support and technical consulting on data breaches, malfunctions, and complex SI investigations; and (3) Expertise de systèmes de systèmes de vote électronique, conducting independent audits and security testing of electronic voting systems aligned with CNIL recommendation No. 2019-053.

Underlying the service delivery is a proprietary forensic analysis platform designed for examination of large volumes of digital data, event log analysis, and keyword searches with temporal criteria, supported by methodologies for producing court-admissible certified copies. The platform is applied across diverse technical environments including ERP, CRM, databases, cloud solutions, and mobile terminals. Electronic voting audits additionally incorporate OWASP vulnerability testing and penetration testing per CNIL frameworks.

Revenue mechanics are quote-based professional services, with fees established through detailed analysis of court orders (ordonnances) and prior estimation of intervention time and expenses. Billing cadence can extend to multi-year contracts, particularly for recurring voting-system mandates. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting legal practitioners, corporate IT and security functions (DSI/RSSI), judicial administrators, and French public administrations requiring independent technical expertise. Customer segments are hybrid: legal practitioners/counsel and IT departments are described as primary persona- and business-unit-based segments, while organizations with electronic voting needs and companies in litigation situations are primary use-case-based segments. Marketing is limited to a company blog and a direct contact form, with distribution restricted to a single-country/domestic channel despite occasional international client references.
