IDIPS

What IDIPS does

IDIPS, founded in 1990 and headquartered in La Celle Saint-Cloud (Paris metropolitan area), is a privately held French SAS specializing in high-security locks and armored equipment for safes, strongboxes, and security furniture. Its product portfolio spans electronic locks (HORO series, TECHMASTER, MINITECH, DIGITECH, LA GARD 701–704), mechanical double-bit key locks (CABLOX, IVOX, RELOX), and electromechanical systems (i5200M+DOCT), supplemented by the iDOCT 210 miniaturized seismic/thermal detector. The company's proprietary DOCT (Detection, Opening, Control, Time) platform combines seismic and thermal intrusion sensing with motorized deadbolt locking and time-stamped event logging, and is protected by a registered patent.

IDIPS operates a hybrid revenue model combining per-unit hardware sales (€51–€147 per lock), professional services for troubleshooting, non-destructive safe opening, key duplication, and safe transfer, and certified safe integration as an official French partner of Gunnebo and Chubbsafes. Distribution runs through direct enterprise field sales to banks, government institutions, cash-in-transit operators, jewelers, safe manufacturers, and retail/cash-handling businesses, alongside an e-commerce showroom for SMB and individual buyers. Locks are engineered for retrofit installation across virtually all safe brands without modification. The company is ISO 9001 certified by CNPP since August 2015, holds A2P certification on multiple SKUs, and is a member of SYFRACO. Leadership rests with CEO Ismaïla Ndiaye, and the organization operates with approximately 14 employees.
