Almond Opens an Office in Aix-en-Provence to Strengthen Its National Presence
Sèvres, November 25, 2025 – Almond is accelerating its growth and opening its sixth location in France, in Aix-en-Provence, at the heart of a region experiencing a technological boom. The group is thus reaffirming its commitment to providing closer support to businesses and institutions in enhancing their cybersecurity and resilience throughout the country.
The Aix-en-Provence office will offer the group’s full range of expertise—IT governance and risk management consulting, penetration testing & Red Team services, compliance audits, managed cybersecurity services (SOC/CERT/CTI), cybersecurity assessment and certification, and cloud and digital transformation support—to meet the growing needs of public and private organizations in the Southeast.
Almond now has six offices in France, following those in Paris, Strasbourg, Nantes, Rennes, and Lyon. With an office in Geneva and teams based in Canada and South Korea to ensure 24/7 operations, the group continues to build a network that combines the strength of an international player with the local presence of a partner deeply rooted in the regions. This opening is part of Almond’s “Horizon 2030” plan, which aims to make the group a European leader in cybersecurity.
Victor Calissano has been appointed to lead the Aix-en-Provence office, drawing on nearly ten years of experience in cybersecurity at Sopra Steria and Capgemini.
“Aix-en-Provence is at the heart of a business community undergoing rapid digital transformation and an emerging ecosystem of talent, research laboratories, and professional associations. This sixth office in France marks a new phase in our strategy to work closely with organizations—SMEs, mid-market companies, large enterprises, and local governments—and meet their needs with the responsiveness and expertise that the cyber threat makes essential. The opening of this office also reflects the Group’s commitment to sustainable growth, through targeted investment and job creation, as well as to innovation, through the partnerships we aim to foster with local clusters, schools, and technology companies.”
