It is a national public body in France responsible for protecting critical information systems and ensuring the security of information technology (IT) infrastructure in France. ANSSI provides guidance, best practices, and regulations to help organizations protect their information systems and maintain the security of the French IT infrastructure.

Developing and promoting information security best practices and standards Providing technical assistance and support to organizations Conducting research and development activities related to information security Developing and implementing policies and regulations to ensure the security of critical information systems Responding to cyber security incidents and providing support to organizations during crisis situations ANSSI plays a critical role in ensuring the security of the French IT infrastructure and is responsible for implementing a comprehensive and effective information security program for the country. ANSSI works closely with other government agencies, industry groups, and the private sector to promote information security and address the evolving cyber security threats faced by organizations in France.
How BNS helps comply with the standard?
BNS (BitNetSentry) helps organizations comply with ANSSI by providing a secure and reliable solution for protecting industrial control systems and the networks that are used to control and monitor critical infrastructure and other sensitive systems. By providing device authentication, data protection, secure communications, and reporting and auditing capabilities, BNS helps organizations to secure their networks and control systems, and demonstrate compliance with ANSSI’s security standards and guidelines.
However, it’s important to note that compliance with ANSSI’s security standards and guidelines requires a comprehensive and multi-layered approach to security that includes not only technology solutions but also policies, procedures, and staff training. Implementing BNS as part of an overall security strategy helps organizations to comply with ANSSI, but it’s only one piece of the puzzle. Organizations must also implement other security measures and best practices to ensure that they fully comply with ANSSI’s security standards and guidelines, and protect their critical infrastructure and sensitive systems. Organizations should also consult ANSSI’s security standards and guidelines, as well as their own security experts, to determine the specific requirements and best practices that are applicable to their operations.
