What Riscrises does
RISCRISES is a French boutique consulting firm founded in 2014 and headquartered in Alès, specializing in multi-risk management, civil security, crisis management, and professional safety for public and private organizations. The firm operates across four service lines: (1) Bureau d'études — risk studies, mapping, operational planning, exercises, training, and return-of-experience (RETEX) covering natural, technological, sanitary, cyber, and combined risks; (2) Formation — Qualiopi-certified training spanning crisis management, fire safety, first aid, and regulatory certifications; (3) Opérations — inspection, maintenance, and installation of fire safety equipment (extinguishers, RIA, BAES, smoke extraction, PEI); and (4) R&D — collaborative research with universities and research institutions, partly funded through CIFRE theses and ANR/EU projects.
The firm's technology stack combines a multi-risk management platform featuring GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and SQL databases, semi-automatic fire risk calculation algorithms for municipalities, and proprietary tools including QAREX® (Questionnaire d'Aide au Retour d'Expérience), ITERM® (multi-scale territorial geo-indicator), C.RE.x (RETEX awareness card game), SCENARISQUE (post-cyclone cartography), OBREM'ALP (Alpine resilience index), and the EVADE method (real-time crisis exercise evaluation). These were developed through CIFRE doctoral theses and ANR research programs (TIREX, FUTURISK). The company maintains three regional offices (Alès HQ, Montpellier Grand Sud, Strasbourg Grand Est) and serves 371 cumulative clients including municipalities, EPCI, metropolises, departments, overseas territories, SEVESO/ICPE sites, healthcare establishments, educational facilities, and private enterprises (Nestlé, Veolia, Lafite, Implenia, Geoxia, among others).
The go-to-market model is direct enterprise field sales with a single-point-of-contact project structure, deploying multidisciplinary teams alongside a regional referent. Pricing is project-based for consulting and per-day or per-session for training (typically €350–€2,000 HT), with fire equipment operations contracted per site or per asset. Revenue is generated through professional services delivery across all four streams; institutional R&D grants offset some research costs. The firm appears bootstrapped with no external investment, founder-led by Hoilid Lamssalak, with Martin Robustelli as Director of Operations. Distribution relies on direct enterprise sales, the company website (with Calendly booking), LinkedIn, YouTube, scientific conference participation, and academic/institutional referral networks.

Riscrises competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Apave: Major French TIC and risk management group covering technical inspections, EHS, fire safety, and crisis management consulting. Direct overlap with RISCRISES' bureau d'études, training, and operations offerings, particularly for industrial and municipal clients.
- Bureau Veritas: Global TIC leader offering risk assessment, EHS consulting, fire safety inspection and crisis management support. Overlaps with RISCRISES across ICPE/SEVESO compliance, fire safety operations, and emergency planning, but at vastly greater scale and as part of a broader portfolio.
- Ginger CEBTP: French engineering group specializing in geotechnical, environmental, and risk engineering for construction and infrastructure. Comparable through building vulnerability diagnosis, fire risk analysis, and regulatory compliance support.
- Egis: French engineering and consulting group active in infrastructure, environment, and risk resilience. Comparable through its risk, resilience and civil security consulting practice addressing natural and technological hazards for public and private clients.
- Antea Group: International environmental and risk consulting firm (now part of Worley) with strong French presence. Overlaps on environmental risk assessment, compliance, and resilience consulting for industrial and public-sector clients.
