Axians France and Nuclear Activities in Normandy
Axians is the ICT brand of VINCI Energies, dedicated to digital transformation, information systems and critical communication infrastructures. In France, Axians supports public and private organizations in the design, deployment and operation of secure, resilient and high‑availability digital infrastructures, serving strategic and highly regulated sectors.
As part of VINCI Energies, a group present in more than 60 countries, Axians benefits from a strong industrial culture, a decentralized organization, and the ability to combine national expertise with a strong local presence. This model enables Axians to deliver tailored, sustainable and scalable solutions while meeting the highest requirements in terms of safety, operational reliability and regulatory compliance.
In Normandy, Axians has a strong footprint through its sites in Cherbourg, La Hague and Saint‑Lô, at the heart of a strategic region for the French nuclear industry. Axians supports nuclear stakeholders in industrial and IT environments subject to stringent constraints related to nuclear safety, system availability and regulatory compliance.
We work with major nuclear and defense prime contractors, delivering engineering, deployment and maintenance services for critical IT infrastructures, in operational contexts where architectural robustness, operational traceability and cybersecurity are key challenges.
Axians’ expertise in Normandy covers data centers, secure network infrastructures, cybersecurity, as well as Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC). In this context, Axians supports industrial companies and their subcontractors in meeting ISO 27001 requirements and achieving compliance with the NIS2 Directive, which has become a structuring framework for the nuclear supply chain.
Axians fully aligns with the standards and requirements of the nuclear industry. The company holds ISO 27001 and ISO 19443 certifications, is Gold CyberVadis rated (918/1000), and is officially recognized as an “Expert Cyber” by ANSSI, demonstrating its ability to operate in highly regulated and critical environments.
As a local and trusted partner in Normandy, Axians actively contributes to strengthening the digital resilience and cybersecurity maturity of the nuclear value chain, in line with regional industrial challenges and national safety and sovereignty objectives.
