Ysa Conseil

What Ysa Conseil does

YSA Conseil is a French private investigation firm founded in 1999, specializing in civil investigations for banks, insurance companies, and other enterprise clients. The company conducts reachability investigations (Enquêtes de Joignabilité) to locate individuals and obtain contact information, solvency assessments (Enquêtes de Solvabilité) to evaluate financial capacity, and specialized Eckert Law compliance searches to identify beneficiaries of unclaimed life insurance policies and dormant bank accounts. Complementary offerings include mixed investigations, data enrichment and normalization, and civil document retrieval. Operations are conducted under mandatory CNAPS private investigation authorization, with all investigators holding CQP certifications and professional liability insurance.

The firm combines human investigative expertise with technology and artificial intelligence to perform mass individual location at industrial scale, leveraging access to civil registries, public archives, and family archives. It operates as a B2B professional services firm with fixed-fee commission-based pricing, where mandating institutions (banks and insurers) pay per investigation and no fees are charged to beneficiaries or located individuals. The company is GDPR-compliant with a designated DPO and a member of FIGEC (the national federation for business information and civil investigation). Since 2023, YSA Conseil has operated as a brand under ARCA, retaining its identity and teams while accessing ARCA's broader Customer Risk Management technology infrastructure.

YSA Conseil is headquartered at 37 bis rue du Sentier, 75002 Paris, structured as a SARL with €36,000 capital social and RCS registration 424 231 165. The firm employs between 11 and 50 staff and serves a purely French client base. No external funding rounds or institutional investors are disclosed, and the company remains privately held under ARCA ownership. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and no app, API, or developer-facing integrations are documented. The business model is project-based and compliance-driven, anchored to French regulatory requirements (Eckert Law) that create sustained demand from a narrow set of large institutional clients.
