Why run an EBIOS Risk Manager analysis?

EBIOS Risk Manager is the digital risk assessment and treatment method published by ANSSI. It does more than list vulnerabilities: it reasons through realistic attack scenarios, starting from risk sources and their targeted objectives through to technical attack paths.

The result is a clear, prioritized view of the risks that truly threaten your organization, informed treatment decisions, and a prioritized action plan. It is also an expected deliverable in many frameworks: ISO 27001, NIS2, security accreditation for sensitive systems.

The benefits of EBIOS RM

Attack-scenario vision

Understand who could attack you, why, and how, rather than lining up controls disconnected from reality.

Risk prioritization

Focus your effort and budget on the most critical risks, avoiding dispersion and over-securing.

Strategic alignment

Connect digital risks to business stakes and organizational objectives so leadership can make informed trade-offs.

Compliance & security accreditation

Have a recognized deliverable that can be used for ISO 27001, NIS2 and security accreditation for sensitive systems.

A shared language

Make dialogue easier between technical teams and leadership through scenarios everyone can understand.

Method recognized by ANSSI

A proven French method, recognized by ANSSI and widely used in sensitive sectors.

Who is it for?

EBIOS Risk Manager is designed for any organization that needs to conduct a risk assessment: companies engaged in an ISO 27001 initiative (where risk analysis is a requirement), entities subject to NIS2, owners of sensitive or strategic projects requiring security accreditation, or simply organizations that want to objectify their digital risks before making decisions. The method adapts equally well to an entire information system or to a targeted project scope.

Our methodology

We facilitate the 5 EBIOS Risk Manager workshops with your business and technical stakeholders, while staying resolutely pragmatic: the right level of detail, credible scenarios, and usable deliverables. Our role is to bring methodological rigor and facilitation while keeping the focus on what creates value for your decisions. No unnecessary theory, only field practice.

Our EBIOS Risk Manager approach

1

Scoping & security baseline

Workshop 1: define the scope, business values, and feared events, then assess the existing security baseline and its gaps.

2

Risk sources

Workshop 2: identify risk sources and their targeted objectives, then select the most relevant source/objective pairs.

3

Strategic scenarios

Workshop 3: map the ecosystem and build high-level strategic scenarios, integrating stakeholders.

4

Operational scenarios

Workshop 4: detail the technical attack paths and assess their likelihood to make the scenarios concrete.

5

Risk treatment

Workshop 5: decide how to treat risks and formalize a strategy consistent with your risk appetite.

6

Restitution

Presentation of results to leadership: risk summary, major scenarios, and trade-offs in a decision-ready format.

7

Treatment plan

Formalization of a prioritized action plan with owners, deadlines, and monitoring indicators for residual risks.

8

Monitoring & steering

Regular monitoring of the treatment plan’s progress and changes in residual risks, with shared indicators in steering committee.

9

Analysis review

Periodic reassessment of the analysis to integrate new threats, changes to your information system, and regulatory developments.

Frequently asked questions

What is the EBIOS Risk Manager method?

A risk analysis method published by ANSSI that identifies the most critical risk scenarios (risk sources, targeted objectives, attack paths) to prioritize security measures, rather than treating everything at the same level.

Is EBIOS Risk Manager mandatory?

It is not a general legal obligation, but it is strongly recommended by ANSSI and increasingly required in public-sector tenders and in certain regulated sectors (healthcare, public sector, operators of vital importance).

How long does an EBIOS Risk Manager analysis take?

A complete analysis (5 workshops) generally takes several weeks depending on the size of the scope, with collaborative workshops involving business teams, not only IT.

What is the difference between EBIOS RM and an ISO 27005 risk analysis?

EBIOS RM is a concrete, tool-supported French method focused on realistic attack scenarios. ISO 27005 is a more generic normative framework. The two are compatible: EBIOS RM can be used to meet the risk analysis requirements of an ISMS ISO 27001.
