Be Resilient Group

What Be Resilient Group does

Be Resilient Group (BRG) is a privately-held French consulting firm founded in 2002 (originally as Adenium) that advises large enterprises on organizational resilience, risk management, crisis management, business continuity, and cyber resilience. The firm operates through four specialized poles — Risk-BRG, Crisis-BRG, Adenium-BRG (business continuity), and Cyber-BRG — and runs a training center offering more than 80 modules covering ISO 27001, ISO/IEC 27032, EBIOS Risk Manager, NIS 2 Directive, and related certifications. BRG monetizes through professional services engagements (audits, maturity assessments, plan development, ongoing advisory) and a structured training catalog, complementing revenue with annual thought-leadership publications such as the "Baromètre de la Résilience des Organisations" produced in partnership with emlyon business school.

BRG's operating model is predominantly human-delivered consulting and training rather than a technology platform: the firm describes itself as not developing or selling technology products, instead relying on proprietary methodologies (e.g., SMCA — Système de Management de la Continuité d'Activité) and instructor-led training. The firm's distribution is anchored by a direct sales motion targeting large French enterprises (500+ employees), supported by reference clients in financial services (BNP Paribas AM, Société Générale, AXA), semiconductors (STMicroelectronics, Soitec), cosmetics/luxury (L'Oréal), gaming/lottery (FDJ), and cybersecurity (Hexis). Its go-to-market is reinforced by event presence at the Forum International de la Cybersécurité (FIC) in Lille, an integrated partnership with Everbridge for crisis-management software, and a Qualiopi-certified training offering funded through French OPCO/CPF mechanisms.

BRG operates from three French offices — Paris (headquarters, 10 rue Émile Landrin, 75020), Lyon (regional HQ, 33 rue Saint-Maxemin, 69003), and Toulouse — with no disclosed international footprint. It is registered as a French SAS with €150,000 share capital, is owned by its founders (led by President Xavier Hartout), and has no reported external investors or parent company, reflecting a bootstrapped, founder-controlled specialist consultancy.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Sopra Steria: Large French IT services and consulting group with a cybersecurity and resilience practice (Sopra Steria Cybersecurity). Comparable to BRG in offering cyber resilience and continuity services to large enterprises, but with vastly greater scale and a broader managed services portfolio.
• FTI Consulting: Global consulting firm with a strong risk, compliance and crisis management segment serving large enterprises and regulated industries. Comparable to BRG in crisis, risk, and continuity advisory, though it operates at much larger scale and across geographies.
• KPMG: Big Four firm with an established Risk & Resilience practice (crisis, BCM, cyber). Overlaps broadly with BRG's resilience, risk and cyber offerings and competes for the same large French enterprise clients (BNP Paribas, Société Générale, AXA), but with substantially broader portfolio and global reach.
• Deloitte: Big Four professional services firm with a dedicated Enterprise Risk, Cyber & Strategic Risk practice covering organizational resilience, BCM and crisis management. Overlaps with BRG's five-pole model but typically addresses large, multi-jurisdiction mandates beyond BRG's capacity.

Regional players

• Setec: Independently-owned French engineering and consulting group whose risk and resilience practice covers BCM and crisis advisory for industrial and infrastructure clients. Comparable in France-only geographic focus and independent ownership structure, though broader in engineering than BRG's resilience specialization.
• Devoteam: French-headquartered digital transformation consultancy with a cybersecurity and resilience practice serving European enterprises. Comparable to BRG on cyber and risk advisory in France and Europe, though Devoteam's broader technology transformation scope and larger headcount make it a larger regional incumbent.

Direct peers

• Wavestone: French-headquartered consulting firm with a dedicated risk, cybersecurity and resilience practice serving large French enterprises (BNP Paribas, AXA-class clients). Closest domestic competitor to BRG with overlapping offers in cyber resilience, governance, and business continuity, but at significantly greater scale.
• Orange Cyberdefense: French cybersecurity services arm of Orange, providing cyber resilience, incident response and continuity consulting to enterprises. Direct overlap with BRG's Cyber-BRG pole on cyber resilience, SOC, and post-attack recovery advisory, with much larger scale and parent-group distribution.
• Control Risks: Global specialist consultancy focused on crisis management, risk, and organizational resilience, often for large multinational clients. Highly comparable to BRG in service scope (crisis, risk, continuity) but materially larger and globally distributed, while BRG is France-focused.

Others

• Everbridge: Critical Event Management (CEM) and mass notification software vendor that signed a core technology partnership with BRG in May 2023. Adjacent rather than directly competitive - software platform that BRG layers consulting services on, making Everbridge an enabling ecosystem participant rather than a direct consulting rival.
