The ORBIT vision

Most tools help you during the crisis. ORBIT is with you before, during and after.

The suite covers the full cycle: preparation, reports, incident management, crisis coordination, continuity and lessons learned. On one foundation, with one identity and one way of working.

The full cycle

One cycle, from the first doubt to the lessons learned.

ORBIT connects preparation, reports, incidents, crisis, continuity and lessons learned in a single operational cycle.

  1. PrepareTrain your teams before the situation arrives.
  2. Report & resolveRaise a concern, clear the doubt and run the incident.
  3. CoordinateRun the crisis rooms, arbitrate and drive the response.
  4. ContinueOrganise continuity and support the return to normal.

  • Explicit handoversEach stage feeds the next without a break.
  • Experience that compoundsTéa puts the organisation's history and lessons learned back at the teams' disposal.

Systemic crises covered

ORBIT helps you prepare for and run far more than cyber crises alone.

The platform is built to support organisations through systemic crises of every kind: natural, technological, human, societal, reputational or logistical.

  • Residential street completely submerged by flood water

    Natural

    Storm, flood, fire, climate hazard

    When the territory and the means of production are hit, coordination, communication and continuity become vital.

  • Industrial chimney releasing a dark plume of smoke over a city at dusk

    Technological

    Cyberattack, industrial accident, critical outage

    Cyberattack, infrastructure failure, industrial incident: you have to assess fast, arbitrate well and record the decisions.

  • Firefighters in breathing apparatus evacuating a casualty on a stretcher, watched by a member of the fire service

    Human

    Personal safety, evacuation, duty of care

    Crises centred on people call for calm coordination, clear prioritisation and controlled communication.

  • Urban demonstration under a cloud of pink smoke, helmeted journalists in the foreground

    Societal

    Social tension, crowd movement, public pressure

    Societal tension can quickly affect reputation, operations and safety. ORBIT helps everyone hold a shared picture.

  • Microphones from several television channels and a camera held out towards a person being interviewed

    Reputational

    Reputation, communication, press pressure

    A media crisis plays out minute by minute. Preparation, message and posture decide whether you hold your course.

  • Port tractor pulling a container in front of the cranes of a container terminal

    Logistical

    Supply chain, flows, transport

    Supply disruption, blocked flows or a port incident: fast coordination is what stops the domino effect on operations.

Security by design

Security, without having to be a security expert.

ORBIT protects access, data and platform availability from the design stage. The goal is simple: to let you concentrate on the situation you are handling, not on your tool.

An architecture designed to keep you in control

  • Data protection

    Post-quantum encryption.

    Strengthened cryptography to protect data over the long term, against both current attacks and new computing capabilities.

    Post-quantum approach on the mechanisms concerned · encryption at rest and in transit
  • High availability

    99.5% availability.

    ORBIT is built to stay reachable when teams need it. This rate is a contractual commitment, made in our SLA on the authentication function - the one without which nothing else is reachable.

    Monthly SLA commitment, backed by service credits · continuous monitoring · resilient architecture
  • Identity & access

    Highly secure. Still simple to use.

    Passkeys, SSO and strengthened access controls secure authentication while keeping the user experience simple and fluid.

    Passkeys / WebAuthn · SSO · RBAC · administrator MFA · local validation
  • Audit trail

    Every action is attributed.

    Sensitive access and operations are tied by name to whoever carried them out, keeping a clear and usable audit trail.

    Named audit logging · history of sensitive operations
And under the bonnet

Organisation isolation, segregation between applications, separate encryption keys per application, signed tokens and local validation, role-based access control, security checks on every release, static analysis, a software bill of materials and continuous monitoring.

Sovereign infrastructure

Hosted in France with Scaleway.

A European cloud provider, a European jurisdiction and several recognised security frameworks round out the measures specific to ORBIT.

The host's certifications and frameworks: ISO/IEC 27001, HDS, CSA STAR L1 and SecNumCloud (qualification in progress).

* SecNumCloud qualification in progress at Scaleway. The certifications, assessments and processes mentioned concern the host and the services within their respective scopes. They do not constitute certifications of SECALYS or ORBIT.

* ORBIT 360 gives priority access to the Secalys crisis standby: for comparable situations, your request is handled first. It is not a guarantee of intervention and it does not replace a dedicated standby contract, taken out separately, which alone commits Secalys to covered hours and a response time.

ORBIT 360

The enterprise edition of ORBIT.

All four applications, the identity and governance functions complex organisations expect, and Secalys alongside you at deployment, with priority access to crisis standby.

  • SSO and Entra ID
  • Multi-entity governance
  • Compliance reporting
  • Priority crisis standby
  • Priority support

FAQ

What to settle before you subscribe.

Does ORBIT only cover cyber incidents and crises?

No. SHIELD and PILOT are multi-risk and multi-domain. ORBIT can support an organisation through sensitive situations, incidents or crises of very different kinds: natural, technological, human, societal, reputational or logistical. Cyber simply keeps specialised investigation capabilities inside SHIELD.

What is the difference between a report and an incident in SHIELD?

A report starts from a doubt: the person raising it does not need to know whether it really is an incident. The team in charge reviews the situation, clears the doubt or turns it into an incident, then runs the resolution in SHIELD.

How does SHIELD hand over to PILOT?

The handover is part of the incident evaluation and escalation process. When the situation calls for a crisis response, the team can escalate it to PILOT and continue coordinating in the crisis space.

What is Téa, the sovereign intelligence built into ORBIT?

Téa - Technologie d'Éclairage et d'Assistance - is the intelligence built into ORBIT. It helps teams structure information, draw on the organisation's experience, run investigations and prepare proposals, without ever standing in for human decision-making.

Téa is operated in France, in a controlled environment dedicated to ORBIT. Customer data and queries are not sent to an external public AI, it does not search the open web, and its memory stays strictly partitioned per organisation.

Is ALIVE available yet?

ALIVE is shown as a preview. The vision is settled, but its functional scope is still being built: we do not present it as a finished module.

What do you mean by "entity" in your pricing?

An entity is a legal person: a company, a local authority, an institution. It gets its own isolated workspace, with its own data, users and licences, and it is the billing unit for ORBIT.

The consequence matters inside a group: the right of use you subscribe to applies to that legal entity, and to it alone. Someone from another company in the group falls outside that scope, even if they are working on the same crisis.

Covering several companies therefore means subscribing that many entities. The ORBIT 360 plan adds multi-entity governance and a group view, so you can run them together.

Is the number of users capped?

No, users are unlimited on all three plans: you pay for the entity, not the seat. Accounts remain personal, and sharing one is not permitted - in crisis management, knowing who wrote what and when is part of the value of the tool.

For the moments that mobilise a lot of people, an exercise or a real crisis, access is opened temporarily and selectively. You are not administering accounts all year that will be used once a decade: rights are opened where they are needed, then closed again.

That is least privilege applied to crisis, which is what ISO/IEC 27001-style access governance asks for.

Can I move up to another plan later?

Yes. A plan can be extended mid-contract - moving from Training to Response or to 360, adding entities - through an extension to the subscription, billed pro rata for the remaining term. What you have already entered stays in place: the change opens up functions, it does not restart your configuration.

I am a service provider: can I use ORBIT to support my own clients?

Yes. ORBIT can be used by consultancies, specialist providers or crisis management practitioners who want to rely on the platform for their own engagements, in particular to set up and run exercises for several clients.

The public prices shown on this site correspond to direct use by an organisation for its own teams. Multi-client or multi-entity use, or use involving a high volume of exercises, falls under a different model.

We therefore offer providers a dedicated commercial and pricing framework, matched to the number of clients supported, the uses involved and the volume of activity.

Where is the data hosted, and how is it protected?

Data is hosted in France, with Scaleway, a French operator. It is encrypted at rest and in transit, segregated by entity, and access goes through a single identity with passkey authentication and role-based rights. The detail of the processing and the sub-processors is set out in our data processing agreement.

Where does Secalys fit into the solution?

ORBIT is published by Secalys, which supports organisations on systemic crisis management. Secalys field experience feeds directly into the design of the platform.
