What RISK Partners does

RISK Partenaires is a French independent insurance audit and risk management consulting firm founded in 1996 by Dominique Blaise and currently led by President Alexandre Degoul. The firm operates from three locations — headquarters in Toul (Lorraine), Alsace/Moselle Sud in Danne-et-Quatre-Vents, and Océan Indien in La Saline Les Bains — with a team of 14 professionals delivering advisory services to more than 300 public buyers annually alongside private enterprise clients. Its service portfolio spans insurance consultation and risk audit, claims expertise (expertise sinistre), business continuity planning (PCA), traffic risk prevention plans (PPRC), workplace safety, risk mapping (cartographie des risques), and public procurement assistance (AMO) for marchés publics d'assurance, plus group purchasing (groupements de commandes), provident/health insurance for public employees, major risk management, and Qualiopi-certified professional training.

The firm holds OPQCM certification since 2001 (mandatory for legal advisory in tender preparation), ORIAS registration since 2010 (insurance intermediary in the broker category), Qualiopi certification since December 2021 (training quality), and CNSCRA professional syndicate membership. It emphasizes complete independence from insurance carriers and intermediaries, and operates strategic partnerships with more than 20 Centres de Gestion across France plus a 2019 partnership with transport operator Evolutrans. Underlying technology is non-proprietary human advisory; the firm monetizes expertise through quote-based consulting engagements, multi-year monitoring contracts, and training services rather than software or data products.
