What Alrix Consulting does

Alrix Consulting (legal entity Alrix Sàrl, registered in Geneva under CHE-387.530.922) is a privately held IT management and data protection consulting firm founded in 2016 by Alain Lacroix (CEO) and Richard Schmed (Managing Partner). The company is headquartered at 118 Rue du Rhône, Geneva, and serves Swiss and European small-to-medium enterprises (PMEs) and local authorities that lack full-time IT leadership. Core service lines include fractional CIO advisory (CIO as a Service / DSI Mutualisé), nLPD/RGPD data protection compliance, cybersecurity assessment, enterprise risk management, IT governance, project management, and ERP advisory.

The firm has productized portions of its consulting IP into a small software portfolio: the Alrix Privacy Toolkit (a self-service nLPD/RGPD compliance kit sold at CHF 990 HT via an e-commerce storefront), CRS Cyberscan (a fixed-price cybersecurity scoring methodology at CHF 4,980 based on CIS/NIST frameworks), Rumya (a SaaS tool for managing GDPR data subject rights requests), and Botix (a GPT-based chatbot specialized in data protection regulations). It also resells the ITK-Interim ERP for Swiss temporary staffing agencies through a partnership with IT-Koncept, and recommends Infomaniak cloud services.

The revenue model blends professional services (time-based consulting engagements and fixed-price assessments) with productized SaaS revenue (PrivacyToolkit, Rumya) and reseller economics (ITK-Interim, Infomaniak). GTM is sales-led and event-driven, combining direct consulting engagement, webinars on compliance topics, participation in Geneva/Romandie professional networks (CREG, Club de Réseautage Romand, Kiwanis, Forum des Entrepreneurs Genevois), LinkedIn presence, and a self-service e-commerce channel. Pricing is publicly disclosed for standardized packages while custom engagements are quote-based. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, the firm has no institutional investors, and headcount is listed at 1-10 — consistent with a founder-led boutique practice rather than a scaling software business.
