Lovell Consulting

What Lovell Consulting does

Lovell Consulting is a Paris-based cybersecurity and risk management consulting firm founded in 2019 as a SAS (Société par actions simplifiée) registered in Créteil. The firm advises large enterprises (grands comptes), mid-sized companies (ETI), SMEs (PME), and startups on cybersecurity governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), organized into six complementary practice domains: governance & risk, compliance, operational resilience, cloud security, identity and access management (IAM), and data protection. For the mid-market segment, it packages two flagship offerings — Audit 360, a 2-4 week cybersecurity assessment aligned to ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, NIS 2, and DORA, and an External CISO (RSSI Externe) subscription service providing part-time security leadership. Disclosed engagements span banks, insurers, energy companies, industrial groups, cloud platforms, training firms, and IT consultancies, covering work such as DORA readiness, ISO 27001 pre-certification, CNAPP selection and deployment, BIA/PCP development, and AI security integration in industrial programs.

The firm operates a purely services-based model with no proprietary software platform; its differentiation rests on a branded Audit 360 methodology, a multi-certified consultant bench (ISO 27001/27005/22301, CISSP, CCSP, CISM, PRINCE2, AWS), and direct engagement with French regulatory authorities such as ANSSI (REMPAR25 crisis exercise, September 2025). Revenue is generated from fixed-price projects, long-term staff augmentation, service center engagements, and External CISO subscriptions, with pricing quoted per engagement rather than publicly disclosed. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external funding and markets primarily through LinkedIn, an active blog and whitepaper program, and industry event participation. Operational scope is concentrated in France, with no evidence of international offices or cross-border delivery.
