Secura Joins Forces With Bureau Veritas

Secura recognizes the growing importance of cybersecurity and has been providing test, training and certification services for many years to their loyal customer base. As a next step in growth and international expansion, the board and management of Secura are excited to announce their co-operation with Bureau Veritas.

Bureau Veritas is a publicly listed company (Euronext: BVI) specialized in testing, inspection and certification founded in 1828 with its headquarters in France. With over 78.000 employees, a presence in 140 countries and an annual turnover of 5.1 billion euro (2019), the co-operation enables Secura to access new regions and markets while offering essential knowledge and services to Bureau Veritas’ customers.

The choice for Bureau Veritas also further strengthens Secura’s reputation as an independent security services provider, fitting very well with Bureau Veritas’ compliance and conformity assessment services.

“Cybersecurity risks are growing for companies and individuals alike,” says Didier Michaud-Daniel, Chief Executive Officer of Bureau Veritas. “Personal and professional data and system protection have become a crucial challenge surrounding security, safety, and even business sustainability. This strategic alliance supports Bureau Veritas’ fast-paced development in the conformity assessment of non-physical assets. As we anticipate an acceleration of the current momentum of the cybersecurity TIC market in the coming years, Secura’s expertise will further reinforce our global offering addressing key geographies and industries. On behalf of the Bureau Veritas Executive Committee, I want to warmly welcome the Secura team.”

“Both Bureau Veritas and Secura see the big opportunity in cybersecurity in the coming decades,” adds Dirk Jan van den Heuvel, Managing Director of Secura. “There is a clear need to bring security to a higher level in many places in society. Joining forces with Bureau Veritas will undoubtedly boost our expansion and accelerate Secura’s capability in providing security expertise. We are confident that this strategic move will enable us to develop even faster in the future, as we benefit from the large footprint of Bureau Veritas and the integrity reputation it has earned from the world's leading corporations.”
