In local government, digital usage often moves faster than available resources. Download Avanoo's free checklist to identify blind spots and run a first diagnostic — without spending your summer on it.

Three clear reflexes: see, secure, act

Avanoo in local government
The facts
24%
of the 1,366 confirmed cybersecurity incidents in France in 2025 involve ministries and local authorities, just behind education and research (ANSSI, Panorama de la cybermenace 2025).
33
high-severity incidents recorded by CERT-FR for local authorities in 2024, overwhelmingly ransomware attacks.
Our approach
Avanoo audits digital usage in local government every day to help take back control of Shadow IT and Shadow AI. This checklist turns the questions we ask on the ground before every audit into a free guide, so you can run the same diagnostic yourself — without tools or budget.
See
Map the tools and usage actually in place, beyond what is declared.
Secure
Prioritize risks on the data and access that truly matter.
Act
Move to a concrete plan, even at small scale, without waiting for an incident.
The calendar
01
This is when local authorities prepare trade-offs ahead of the budget orientation debate. A topic identified now is more likely to get a line in the initial budget than one discovered after an incident.
02
The bill transposing NIS2 is due for review this summer. It would expand the scope to 10,000 or 15,000 organizations in France, including regions, departments, and municipalities above a population threshold.
03
On top of that sits an obligation that does not depend on any transposition timeline: protecting your residents' data — civil status, social care, education, sometimes health.
