Sur&Tis

What Sur&Tis does

Sur&Tis is a France-based independent security and safety consulting firm headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt, founded on October 1, 2001 by Eric Chalumeau (former honorary divisional commissioner of the national police and ex-director of studies at IHESI) and Nicolas Gleizal (former IHESI/ANDRA communications director). The firm originated as a subsidiary within the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations group, was later held by real estate operator Icade, and now operates as a founder/management-led independent consultancy with 11–50 employees and over 1,000 completed missions across 22+ years of activity.

Its offering is structured around four core service lines — strategic consulting (evaluation, diagnostics, public safety studies, master plans), audit (organizational, procedural, and financial optimization), engineering (technical assistance for video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, and smart-building cybersecurity), and training (Qualiopi-certified, including sworn-guard certification and situational prevention). These services are delivered across five project areas: residential tranquility in social housing, security strategies for tertiary and sensitive sites, situational prevention in public spaces, local public security policy (CLSPD/CISPD), and legally mandated ESSP (Étude de sûreté et de sécurité publique) studies for urban and construction projects. Sur&Tis is a founding member of the Syndicat du conseil en sûreté (SCS) and operates under its deontology charter.

The firm monetizes entirely through project-based professional services engagements, custom-quoted per scope and client type, with multi-year contracting cadence; revenue is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led, driven by direct engagement with French local and regional governments, social-housing organizations (HLM), real estate owners and managers, and private enterprises (banks, insurers, utilities). The firm maintains operations across most French metropolitan regions but does not claim international footprint. Active recruitment, ongoing thought-leadership publishing (latest posts dated April 2025), and a refreshed Qualiopi certification through 2028 indicate continued operating momentum.
