Local authorities
Ensuring continuity of public services
Civil registry, payroll, planning, school canteen: a paralysed local authority means residents without services. Small municipalities rarely have an IT person and often depend on service providers or joint IT bodies.
Kayzen Security is in a pilot programme: no customer references are cited on these pages, and no module is on sale yet.
The sector's challenges
Few dedicated resources
A town hall's administrative staff often manage IT on top of their other duties.
Data on every resident
Civil registry, social services, electoral rolls: a large amount of personal data, sometimes sensitive.
A variety of computers
Staff, elected officials, schools, library: very different uses and levels of vigilance.
Changing obligations
Depending on how NIS2 is transposed, some local authorities and their groupings may be affected.

What you need to know
- Kayzen is not yet listed with public purchasing bodies; public procurement rules apply to any purchase (to be validated with your legal department or a professional).
- Whether NIS2 applies depends on the transposition law: to be validated by a professional.
- A managed service provider or joint IT body can run Kayzen for several municipalities from the partner portal (under development).
Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our answers
Can a small municipality use Kayzen without an IT person?
That is the goal: recommended default settings, simply explained alerts, and the option of handing management over to a provider.
Does the municipality's data leave Europe?
In principle no: business customer data is intended for a hosting provider in the European Union, whose final choice is in progress. A few subprocessors established outside the EU (transactional emails, payment, Kayzen Copilot if turned on) may receive limited data, with GDPR safeguards; they are all listed on the Subprocessors page.
