“To ensure the safety of the Rugby World Cup in 2023 and the Olympic Games 2024, the government created the CNCS in 2023 which, thanks to the software platform of Suadeo, was able to manage the security of these sporting events.” An article published in Protection Sécurité Magazine
Article published in Protection Sécurité Magazine (March 2025 issue), by Christophe Lapaz, Editorial Director:
“The Ministry of the Interior wanted to have a completely new information system, integrating data, in order, among other things, to ensure the strategic management of the 2024 Olympic Games”
reminds Colonel Christophe Deshayes, CNCS chief of staff.
Based in Beauveau, the CNCS covered a wide range (…) of issues including security [aux] logistics, sanitary, transport, spectator experience…
“All these aspects had to be taken into account,” continues Colonel Deshayes. “Not only by the CNCS, but also by the tools that equipped it and made available to operators.”
The French software publisher Suadeo, associated with DTNum (Digital Transformation Directorate), designed the hypervision platform to meet the specific needs expressed by CNCS.
We had to set up a customized configuration, in the form of five applications, to allow us to organize and configure information in real time, via forms, dynamic situation points, reports…” , says Cédric Bonamigo, public sector director at Suadeo.
Creation of CIC
Hosted within the Interdepartmental State Network, in the cloud of the Ministry of the Interior, with a maximum level of security (“Restricted Distribution”), the platform, first tested during the Rugby World Cup, has been optimized for Olympic Games.
In addition to rapid coordination with the operators concerned, such as SNCF, prefectures, ministries… , it has made it possible to detect weak signals and process a large amount of information (from IS, “mains courantes” or open sources such as traffic, transport, social networks…), all geolocable in real time in the hypervisor through map layers.
Proof of the success of the experience : it gave birth to an aligned working community and collective expertise that will undoubtedly transform future crisis cells.
“This allowed us to lay the foundations of the new Interministerial Crisis Centre (ICC). Suadeo has been a real “game change” in the approach to crisis management by government departments”
concludes colonel Deshayes.
