What Wide Int does

Wide Int is a privately held French consulting and technology firm (société par actions simplifiée) headquartered in Paris that delivers investigative telecom and forensic solutions to government law enforcement, customs, and state security agencies. The company sells into a narrow vertical of sovereign security buyers with a primary commercial focus on Africa and the Middle East, where it positions itself as the institutional successor to Deveryware's decades of accumulated investigative expertise. Customer segments include law enforcement agencies (police, investigation units), customs and border control, government security agencies handling counter-terrorism and major-event security, and to a lesser extent national cybersecurity authorities.

The product portfolio is organized into three pillars. The Investigative Telecom pillar offers real-time geolocation platforms, multisource data analytics (CDR correlation), and telecom investigation solutions; the Investigative Forensics pillar offers audit and expertise services, a catalogued range of crime-scene equipment and consumables (Forensic Lamp OFK-450A, Cavalier Major Crime Scene kits, Touch & Know drug-detection kits, pre-inked strips, Gendbones, GPS jammers), and bespoke training programs delivered by former Gendarmerie experts. A third Cybersecurity division supplies equipment, software, and training to government agencies. The OCTOSTAR data fusion platform, presented at ASEC 2026, represents the most recent product expansion and combines multiple intelligence sources into a unified investigative workflow.

Commercially, Wide Int operates an enterprise field-sales model in which company experts deploy on-site at client locations to scope, configure and operate solutions; pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through a mix of subscription-based investigation technology, hardware sales of forensic consumables, and professional services for training and audit engagements. The firm reports 1-10 employees, has no disclosed funding rounds, and discloses no revenue figures. Marketing is concentrated around security industry events (ASEC, ISS World Europe, Milipol, Journées du Crime et de la Science) and direct engagement with government buyers, supplemented by on-site consulting in client countries.
