The company combines a strong local presence in Belgium with recognized capabilities in areas such as risk management, compliance, and security auditing. Its track record in delivering complex, large-scale programmes for the public sector has made Sopra Steria a trusted partner for secure and resilient digital infrastructures.

“This contract highlights the government’s commitment to raising cybersecurity to the highest standards, and Sopra Steria is proud to contribute to this ambition,” said Karim Azer-Nessim, Cybersecurity Director, Sopra Steria Belux. “Through our experience and expertise, we will help ensure that Belgian federal institutions are ready to face today’s and tomorrow’s cyber challenges.”

This contract win not only strengthens Sopra Steria’s footprint in Belgium’s public sector, but also advances its strategic priority in cybersecurity, reinforcing its role as a partner of choice for secure, and sustainable digital infrastructures.
