Atos positioned as a leader in IDC MarketScape for European Cybersecurity GRC Consulting and Professional Services 2026

Turning cybersecurity governance into sustainable resilience

Atos has been positioned as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: European Cybersecurity Governance, Risk, and Compliance Consulting and Professional Services 2026 Vendor Assessment, recognized for its European cybersecurity GRC capabilities, structured methodology and alignment with leading frameworks including ISO 27001, NIST CSF 2.0, IEC/ISA 62443 and COBIT.

For organizations facing rising regulatory pressure, geopolitical uncertainty and board-level accountability, this recognition reinforces our ability to turn cybersecurity governance into an ongoing business capability, not a one-time compliance exercise.

 

IDC-recognized strengths of our European cybersecurity GRC services

IDC highlights five strengths in our European cybersecurity GRC offering, including:

• Integrated delivery from advisory to continuous governance: We combine consulting, platform tooling and a managed CISO function within a single provider relationship.
• Broad European delivery capabilities: Clients benefit from delivery coverage across more than 15 European countries, with advisory capabilities across seven European languages and security-cleared consultants for regulated, government and defense environments.
• European digital sovereignty expertise: We provide guidance on sovereign cloud strategy, data residency compliance and technology independence. IDC also identifies our European headquarters as relevant for buyers with sovereignty and GRC requirements.
• Risk quantification for executive decision-making: FAIR-based modeling translates cyber exposure into financial terms for board-level reporting.
• AI governance advisory: Support includes conformity assessments and the governance of nonhuman identities for AI agents and API credentials, aligned with ISO 42001 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.

 

Why this recognition matters
 

Europe’s cybersecurity landscape is being shaped by rising threat activity, geopolitical uncertainty and increasing regulatory scrutiny. Frameworks including NIS2, DORA, the EU AI Act and the Cyber Resilience Act create overlapping obligations that require clearer governance and stronger risk oversight.

Cybersecurity GRC is therefore no longer only a compliance matter. It is a governance responsibility with financial and legal implications for senior executives and boards. Organizations need to understand their exposure, prioritize action and strengthen resilience across governance, operations and the technology supply chain.

We support this through GRC consulting and advisory services spanning governance design, enterprise risk management, operational resilience, AI governance, supply chain assurance, digital sovereignty and regulatory compliance.
