Cybersecurity for local authorities
Local government facing cyber threats
Municipalities, intermunicipal bodies, departmental and regional councils are increasingly common targets. Essential services, citizen data, budget constraints: local authorities must act, but pragmatically.
Sharp rise in attacks
Local authorities account for a growing share of incidents handled by ANSSI. Ransomware, data exfiltration, DDoS on online services.
NIS2 & ANSSI obligations
Significant-sized local authorities are gradually falling within the NIS2 scope. Obligations include hardening, notification and remediation plans.
Citizen data protection
GDPR, CNIL, civil registry, welfare and tax data: the local authority is the data controller for particularly sensitive personal data.
Our local-government approach
Brightway understands the constraints of local authorities: budget cycles, public procurement, the variety of business systems (finance, HR, civil registry, procurement, GIS), and third-party dependencies (vendors, intermunicipal unions, EPCIs). Our recommendations are realistic and matched to your budget.
ANSSI audit & assessment
Security assessment of the local authority's IS perimeter. Report compliant with ANSSI and prefecture requirements, usable for FCC / France Relance funding calls.
Phased hardening plan
Action prioritisation by risk and cost. Multi-year engagement adapted to budget constraints. Mutualisation available at intermunicipal level.
BCP & continuity of public services
Continuity plan tailored to public service obligations. Crisis scenarios, exercises, documented degraded procedures for staff.
Staff awareness
Training tailored to public-sector staff: password management, phishing, personal data, incident reporting. On-site or remote, open enrolment or in-house.
