G2S offers physical space in NOE and PACY, the EDF Group’s dual certified datacenters: something we treasure in the Group!

Since 2016, our management systems have been audited every year by AFNOR (“Agence Française de Normalisation”)* to renew the dual environmental and energy certification:

• ISO 14001 for the environmental management of IT, real estate and tertiary solutions;
• ISO 50001 for energy management of datacenters.

The energy consumption of the EDF Group’s two datacenters is an example of responsible digital technology*. Since the implementation of the new approaches, we have recorded in our two datacenters :

• 15% less electricity consumed, or 10GWH/year, even though the number of servers and our computing power have doubled;
• A threefold reduction in our water consumption, e.g. a reduction of 2,000 m3 per year;
• Recycling 97% of our waste, compared to 84% previously;
• 59% less power consumed on average per server;
• 54% reduction in the average power consumption of our supercomputers.

For security, NOE’s Tier 4+ and PACY’s Tier 3+ classifications allow for fault tolerance. In addition, our buildings are designed to prevent the spread of a disaster to the entire site. Our two datacenters provide also ultra-secure and scalable infrastructures for hosting critical infrastructures for the EDF Group’s activities.

IS Security Expertise is a solution proposed by G2S to ensure that information systems meet the security requirements of a business and company. A solution of current interest, especially with the development ofhomeworking.

With the current crisis and teleworking, the increase in cyber threats are the most impactful changes for companies. In 2020, according to the latest CESIN* barometer, 57% of French companies have been victims of at least one cyber-attack. The consequences can lead to significant financial losses, damage to the company’s image… 8 times out of 10, phishing** is the first attack vector.

IS security is an important issue for G2S. The IS Security Expertise solution offers several service options optimized to better secure infrastructures and access business applications or workstations without risk.

It includes, for example, a Security Audit to identify the security strengths and vulnerabilities of your applications. Following this audit, one or more remediation plans are proposed to reinforce the response to a cyber-attack, verify the proper application of the IS Security Policy, or evaluate the level of the security.

* Survey conducted between December 7, 2020 and January 11, 2021 among a sample of 228 CESIN members. Each year, the Club des Experts de la Sécurité de l’Information et du Numérique (CESIN) publishes its annual barometer with OpinionWay to better understand the  perception and state of the art cybersecurity and its challenges within large French companies.

**Phishing is a technique that makes a victim believe he is addressing a trusted third party, and then it tempts one to do an action, like clicking a malware link.
