News

Jun. 22, 2026

As cybersecurity, digital sovereignty, and regulatory compliance requirements continue to rise across strategic industries, Thinkproject is strengthening its cloud ecosystem in France, enabling customers to operate in the most sensitive and highly regulated environments with greater confidence.

June 23, Paris, France – Thinkproject, a global leader in built asset intelligence and lifecycle management, today announced it has entered into strategic partnerships with Bleu and S3NS to support deployments of Thinkproject on SecNumCloud-qualified cloud service offers in France.

Through these partnerships, Thinkproject will extend its cloud offering to include infrastructure aligned with France’s highest standards for trusted cloud security and digital sovereignty, while continuing to provide the scalability, resilience and performance expected of modern cloud platforms.

“Trusted Cloud requirements are no longer theoretical, they are now a prerequisite for delivering strategic infrastructure projects in France,” said Olivier Colinet, Chief Product & Technology Officer at Thinkproject. “For more than 15 years, our engineering, operations and compliance teams have built robust security controls and audit foundations in line with leading international standards. Partnering with Bleu and S3NS represents the next step in that journey. We are pleased to support customer deployments on SecNumCloud-qualified cloud services, operated by trusted partners.”

This development reflects Thinkproject’s long-standing role in supporting security-critical and regulated infrastructure projects, where requirements around security, compliance and data residency are fundamental from the earliest stages of procurement and contracting. It builds on the company’s established European security and compliance framework, including ISO 27001 for Europe and C5 certification for Germany, and reinforces its long-term commitment to serving customers operating in highly regulated and strategic sectors.

For asset owners, this initiative strengthens long-term governance, data residency control, and regulatory alignment across the full lifecycle of critical infrastructure. For general contractors and delivery partners, addressing hosting eligibility at the outset reduces the risk of friction during procurement and project execution, ensuring alignment with tender and compliance requirements from day one.

“The ability to leverage cloud infrastructure that meets SecNumCloud 3.2 requirements is becoming an increasingly important criterion for software providers supporting major industrial and infrastructure projects in France.Through this partnership with Thinkproject, a leading European provider of solutions for the built asset lifecycle, we will provide a secure and compliant environment tailored to the needs of industrial organizations in France for information management, collaboration, and the lifecycle management of critical assets.”

“By leveraging PREMI3NS, our SecNumCloud 3.2-qualified highly trusted cloud offering, Thinkproject can provide its customers with a cloud environment that meets the highest standards of cybersecurity, data sovereignty, and protection against extraterritorial regulations, while benefiting from the broad portfolio of services available through Google Cloud. This collaboration demonstrates the growing maturity of the French market in adopting trusted cloud solutions for critical infrastructure and strategic industries, where security, compliance, and data control have become essential requirements.”

By expanding its cloud deployment options in France, Thinkproject continues to invest in secure, compliant, and future-ready digital foundations for the built environment.

About SecNumCloud

SecNumCloud, administered by ANSSI (the French Cybersecurity Agency), defines the national standard for trusted cloud security and sovereignty. The qualification applies to specific cloud service offers operated by cloud providers and is increasingly referenced in public and strategic-sector procurement frameworks. While rooted in French regulation, SecNumCloud environments can also support European organisations requiring sensitive project and asset data to remain within a trusted and sovereign European cloud framework.

Thinkproject partners with Bleu and S3NS to expand its deployment capabilities for regulated projects in France through cloud environments designed to meet enhanced requirements for security, governance, and data hosting control.

Bleu is currently progressing through its SecNumCloud qualification journey, with qualification expected by the end of 2026.

S3NS, a Thales subsidiary powered by Google Cloud technology, already offers a SecNumCloud 3.2-qualified cloud services platform, qualified since December 2025 and now supporting more than one hundred customers.

These partnerships further strengthen Thinkproject’s ability to meet the growing security, compliance, and data sovereignty requirements of sensitive and highly regulated projects in France.
