France’s information technology sector spans fast-scaling SaaS companies, major IT services firms, cloud providers, and critical internet infrastructure operators. In this environment, cybersecurity leaders are expected to balance rapid product delivery with enterprise-grade assurance—building governance and compliance programs that unlock deals, while also running modern detection and response capabilities across cloud-first architectures. The leaders below stand out for shaping security programs that enable growth, resilience, and trust.
Guillaume Seigneuret — Chief Information Security Officer, 360Learning
Guillaume Seigneuret leads cybersecurity at 360Learning with a clear emphasis on building audit-ready foundations while strengthening day-to-day operational security. He has driven the implementation of an ISO 27001-aligned Information Security Management System (ISMS), including high-security policy definition, risk analysis and treatment planning, and tighter control over suppliers and shadow IT. On the assurance side, his work includes preparing for and obtaining ISO 27001 certification and achieving SOC 2 Type II readiness—both increasingly important for SaaS companies serving global enterprise customers. Operationally, his scope covers security tooling and programs such as EDR/XDR, WAF, vulnerability management, structured penetration testing, centralized fleet management (MDM with technical security baselines), SSO/MFA, improved secrets management, SOC capabilities, CSPM coordination with engineering and infrastructure teams, and SIEM deployment aligned with SOC operations.
David Corradino — Chief Information Security Officer, Inetum France
David Corradino serves as Chief Information Security Officer for Inetum France (France and Luxembourg), operating at a scale of over 12,000 collaborators across the region. His responsibilities center on leading the regional cybersecurity team and ensuring group cybersecurity policies and standards are effectively implemented locally. He focuses heavily on risk assessment efficiency with stakeholders, operational security process performance, and ongoing collaboration with group departments and peer regional CISOs to harmonize security approaches. His remit also includes regulatory alignment for France/Luxembourg, incident management and continuous posture improvement, customer and authority engagement, oversight of security audits, and security awareness programs that translate policy into day-to-day behaviors.
Julien Levrard — Chief Information Security Officer, OVHcloud
Julien Levrard is Chief Information Security Officer at OVHcloud, with a career path that reflects deep continuity from security project delivery through compliance leadership into enterprise CISO accountability. His expertise highlights ISO 27001 implementation and audits, organizational and technical security assessments, and PCI-DSS implementation and certification audit work, including Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) experience. At a cloud provider, that blend matters: it connects structured governance and certification readiness with the practical realities of operating secure platforms at scale, where customer trust depends on repeatable controls, measurable compliance, and resilient security operations.
Roch Auburtin — Chief Information Security Officer, Visiativ
Roch Auburtin is Chief Information Security Officer at Visiativ, bringing a strong product-and-engineering background into security leadership. Before stepping into the CISO role, he held senior roles spanning R&D and cloud direction, innovation business unit leadership, and DevOps-focused execution—experience that typically translates into security programs that are pragmatic, automatable, and aligned with delivery pipelines. In a company that publishes and integrates collaborative software for thousands of customers, his role sits at the intersection of product security, cloud security, and organizational security governance—ensuring that innovation scales without eroding trust.
Matthieu Guilpin — Chief Information Security Officer, Jus Mundi
Matthieu Guilpin is Chief Information Security Officer at Jus Mundi, where he positions security and compliance as direct enablers for global growth. He brings over a decade of experience building and scaling security programs for fast-growing SaaS organizations, with a track record across SOC 2 Type II and multiple ISO standards—including ISO 27001, 27018, 22301, and newer governance areas such as ISO 42001 (AI management) as part of broader AI governance. His scope spans executive-level security strategy, risk management, cloud security, business continuity, vendor management, audits, incident response, and aligning controls to enterprise customer expectations—helping organizations “earn trust” in a way that supports revenue and market expansion.
Alain Fruchet — Responsible for Information Systems Security, SKOTT Group
Alain Fruchet serves as Responsible for Information Systems Security (RSSI) at SKOTT Group, with a background that blends business training, computer science education, and insurance-focused risk expertise. His profile emphasizes risk analysis and management, identity and access management (IAM), business continuity planning (PCA/PRA), and GDPR. He has also contributed through consulting, auditing, and training engagements—including work aligned to French critical infrastructure requirements such as LPM-related accreditation projects for OIV/OSE contexts, risk analysis using EBIOS RM, security principles training, and structured reporting/governance with clients.
Kamel Benakli — Chief Information Security Officer, ENGIE IT
Kamel Benakli is Chief Information Security Officer at ENGIE IT and within the Global Business Support business unit. His focus is on maintaining a strong security level across organizational assets while building cybersecurity culture across teams. In a large enterprise IT environment supporting broad internal services, that combination is critical: control maturity must scale across platforms and users, while security adoption depends on consistent communication, shared accountability, and practical enablement.
Alban Nuel — Chief Information Security Officer, Deepki
Alban Nuel is Chief Information Security Officer at Deepki and is known for expertise in ISO 27001, cloud security, cyber defense, and governance and compliance programs (including RGPD/GDPR and HDS contexts). His experience includes maintaining and running ISO 27001 certification programs and implementing ISMS frameworks from the ground up—often in fast-moving environments where security needs to support innovation rather than slow it down. His approach emphasizes security-by-design, EBIOS RM risk methodology, internal and external audits, and structured action plans that remain realistic for startups and scale-ups.
Anthony Hubbard — Chief Information Security Officer, Afnic
Anthony Hubbard is Chief Information Security Officer at Afnic, an organization with a critical role in internet infrastructure through domain registry operations. His background includes cyber risk and security project leadership and extensive consulting and training in governance, risk, and compliance—covering risk assessments, ISMS implementation support, organizational maturity audits, and architecture audits. He has also served as a trainer for ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, and ISO 27005 risk management, as well as PCI DSS. In a registry environment, that mix of operational rigor and standards-driven governance helps reinforce resilience, trust, and continuity for services that must remain dependable.
Why France’s IT Industry Cybersecurity Leaders Matter
Across SaaS, IT services, cloud infrastructure, and core internet operations, the IT industry’s security leaders shape the baseline trust that customers, regulators, and partners expect. What differentiates this group is the combination of: (1) compliance programs that unlock enterprise adoption (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS); (2) operational security maturity (SOC/SIEM/EDR, vulnerability management, CSPM); and (3) culture and governance that make security sustainable at scale. Together, they reflect how France’s IT sector is professionalizing security as both a resilience requirement and a growth accelerator.
