Holis, Greentech Innovation 2023 winner, is a French greentech company whose ambition is to democratize the conduct of life cycle analyses (LCA) and to strengthen the security of environmental data. Thanks to their LCA and eco-design platform, which integrates various databases (Ecoinvent, INIES, etc.), they provide companies with a tool that combines artificial intelligence and a didactic interface. This allows different profiles, from novices to experts, to accelerate their approaches in various industries without compromising rigor. Certified in accordance with ISO 14044 by AFNOR's technical partner, the Holis platform offers functionalities for quantifying, improving and communicating the socio-environmental performances of all products. The secure management of this data is a priority for Holis.
“Qontrol's expertise, as well as their tailor-made approach, have proven to be essential in strengthening our IT security at Holis. Thanks to their help, we have established solid security policies and developed more robust risk management. Their invaluable support in responding to the Cyber questionnaires was critical in strengthening our credibility in the market.”
Paul Gredigui - CTO, Holis
Holis chose Qontrol to meet a crucial need: to improve the security of information systems (SSI) and to continue its path towards Cyber certifications (SOC2/ISO 27001). Recognizing the strategic importance of this evolution, Holis sought a tailor-made solution to build an action plan adapted to its specific requirements. Qontrol proved to be the ideal partner, bringing its expertise and a personalized approach.
The first step was for Qontrol to undertake a comprehensive audit to identify Holis' specific security needs, which resulted in the development of a clear roadmap. Following this roadmap, Qontrol established an Information System Security Policy (PSSI) and carried out a rigorous risk analysis. Stricter password management procedures have also been put in place. By working closely with Holis, Qontrol was able to develop a cybersecurity strategy tailored to their needs. This partnership has allowed Holis to significantly refine their security practices, thereby establishing a solid and resilient cybersecurity posture.
Holis has effectively strengthened its security policy thanks to the support of Qontrol, which has allowed for the continuous improvement of the practices in place. The establishment of an IT charter, the development of a detailed documentary corpus, and the establishment of Business Recovery Plans (PRA), Business Continuity Plans (PCA), IT Recovery Plans (PRI) and IT Continuity Plans (PCI) have consolidated their security structure.
At the same time, extensive employee training has been implemented, creating a safer working environment. In addition, Qontrol supported Holis in responding to Cyber questionnaires, often requested by major accounts, thus strengthening their positioning in the face of these major players.
These combined efforts have not only increased the trust of their stakeholders but have also consolidated their reputation as a secure and reliable player in the Greentech field. A notable achievement was the establishment of an awareness-raising follow-up certificate on the Qontrol platform, highlighting Holis' commitment to cybersecurity.
