What Raynaud & Co does

Raynaud & Co is a UK-based cybersecurity consultancy founded in 2015 by François Raynaud, delivering tailored security solutions to enterprises and financial institutions globally. The firm offers a portfolio of professional services and managed security offerings spanning security assessments, penetration testing, vulnerability management, incident response, cloud security architecture, Zero Trust implementation, DevSecOps integration, and a dedicated DORA Compliance Services practice for EU-regulated financial entities.

The company's technology stack is centered on expert-led consulting rather than a unified software product. Service delivery leverages AI-driven security operations and machine-learning-based anomaly detection and predictive breach analytics, Zero Trust architecture with MFA and network segmentation, cloud-agnostic security frameworks, and AI-powered Managed Detection & Response. Underlying capabilities are delivered through security consultants applying established tooling across public, private, hybrid, and multicloud environments, supplemented by active contributions to the OWASP DevSecOps Maturity Model.

Raynaud & Co operates a B2B enterprise field-sales motion, generating revenue through project-based consulting engagements, recurring managed IT security services, and compliance readiness mandates covering DORA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA. Pricing is custom-quoted under multi-year cooperation models. The firm markets primarily through its website and direct consultation, supported by thought leadership at AppSec, DevSecCon, and Black Hat conferences. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, no subsidiaries, and no reported M&A activity.
