ADVENS is a European cybersecurity firm founded in 2000, operating across France and Europe with over 600 experts. The company provides organisations with three core capabilities: continuous security monitoring through mySOC, a sovereign SOC-as-a-Service platform offering 24/7 protection; incident response services delivered through CERT Advens; and offensive security testing to identify vulnerabilities before adversaries do.
The company operates with a distinctive structural approach to balancing commercial and social objectives. ADVENS holds B Corp certification as of 2025 and maintains a separate endowment fund, Advens for People and Planet, which receives financial retrocessions from the core business to support initiatives in education, inclusion, democratic participation, and environmental sustainability. This model reflects the company's stated conviction that vulnerability serves as a starting point for strength - both in cybersecurity practice and in broader social contexts.
ADVENS positions itself as an independent operator within European cybersecurity, emphasising sovereignty in its platform design and accessibility of security capabilities across organisational sectors. The company's structure and investment approach indicate a commitment to reinvesting commercial success into systemic social and environmental challenges.
