Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Francois
Hello!
Passionate about cybersecurity since childhood, I went from pentester to vulnerability manager.
I also worked on governance topics, particularly on PCIDSS.
My experience:
Pentest: experience in America (Montreal), Asia (Bangkok and Phnom Penh) and of course France. I am able to help you with all your projects.
Having worked for large accounts: the banking sector (BPCE / Caisse d'Épargne and Banque Populaire as well as Crédit Mutuel), my expertise is broad and precise, including numerous tools.
Vulnerability manager: I also worked at BPCE on vulnerability management topics (orchestration of vulns, criticality, team management)
Schneider Electric: vulnerability management on Prisma Cloud, remediation flow management and design of remediation steering processes, vulnerability management by criticality.
I continuously train myself through various platforms, and my very flexible approach allows me to adapt to your needs in the most adequate way for you.
It is obvious that I will also be able to offer my services to apply countermeasures to help you secure your information system.
I am also competent in the PCIDSS and PCI3DS standards. Indeed, I had the opportunity to work on recurrent controls as well as on the preparation of new 3DS controls. My expertise is similar to an AQSA.
The satisfaction of my clients has always been and will always be a priority for me.
For more details, do not hesitate to contact me.
See you soon

François was an essential part of our Azure Cybersecurity Operations team throughout 2025.
He led the migration of our CSPM and Container scan solution to the certified tool used in our organization — a critical project for us.
From day one, he showed great leadership, worked independently, and was proactive in tackling challenges.
His approach made a huge difference in helping all teams adapt smoothly to this major change.
Thanks to his efforts, the transition was seamless and well-coordinated.
He now has strong expertise with the new CSPM tool and proved to be reliable, skilled, and easy to work with.
I’d definitely recommend him for any Cyber Security project that needs technical know-how, ownership, and a collaborative mindset.
