IN Groupe
Helping Companies Defend their Identity

The onset of the pandemic has resulted in significant changes to the business world by accelerating digitisation of processes, endpoint mobility, and the expansion of cloud computing in most organizations, revealing flaws of legacy thinking and technologies. In 2021, responding to COVID-19 remains the biggest challenge for most organizations, along with a shortage of technical security staff, the rapid migration to cloud computing, regulatory compliance requirements, and the unrelenting evolution of threats. That said, traditionally, identity and access management defined and managed the roles and access privileges of individual users and devices by granting or denying access to enterprise assets, and security was a secondary consideration. However, the increase in remote workers and growing awareness of the importance of identity in enabling and securing everything from DevOps to remote workers is forcing many organizations to enhance internal collaboration. In addition, as hackers have always aggressively exploited potential weaknesses, identity and access management have assumed greater responsibility for security in the past year. One company, IN Groupe, is at the leading edge of technology and integrating electronics and biometrics, offering identity solutions and secure digital services, from components to services and documents to interoperable systems. A partner of the French government for close to 500 years, the company is a global specialist in identity and secure digital services. "We play a daily role in helping states exercise their sovereignty, citizens protect their identity and businesses preserve their integrity," - Didier Trutt, CEO of IN Groupe.

With nearly 500 years of history, the IN Groupe was established by Francis I in 1538 as Imprimerie Nationale, which became IN Groupe in 2018. Behind this name change is a coherent strategy of modernisation and internationalisation of its activities whilst maintaining its savoir-faire, legitimacy and prestige. This shift is part of the profound transformation of the group and has established a competitive name on the market, attracting young talent and with a robust regional foothold. The company is a strategic partner for any government, public service or company wanting to maintain its digital sovereignty and offer everyone the Right to Be themselves. "When it comes to securing identities, there are two spheres to consider. On the one hand, the physical world, i.e. access controls for entering buildings and the other, the logical world, in this case access to computer applications. The Pass'IN solution makes them one,” - Didier Tutt
