About

Who we are

Aleph builds cyber safety and threat intelligence solutions, to protect the integrity of individuals, companies and states.

The origin

An observation, before a company

The digitisation of private and corporate life produces an exponential rise in digital traces. It multiplies the public information available on the internet.

The tools meant to handle that volume lack both power and relevance. They give neither companies, nor NGOs, nor states the precision they need to contain risk, hold their digital presence and understand their networks of influence. Worse: they step outside the European legal framework within which searching for leaked information must sit.

So we built our own patented collection technology, able to index those spaces at scale. No data bought from third parties, no black box: the index is ours, from the first crawler to the analysis.

Today, close to a hundred organisations rely on Aleph, from sovereign ministries to large industrial groups. In 2026 the company joined a French group that continues its growth, with the same team and the same standards.

What we build

Anticipating and mapping risk, across the deep and dark web

Two tools at the heart of the offer: open-source data analysis across the clear, deep and dark webs, and monitoring of your external attack surface (EASM).

  • Aleph Search

    Unlimited monitoring and investigation across the clear, deep and dark web.

    Explore
  • Aleph Alert

    An alert dashboard for data leaks across the deep and dark webs.

    Explore

They watch your strategic assets: at-risk staff, leaked documents, and the facts and flaws that look insignificant at first glance yet trace, very concretely, the external attack surface through which a company ends up exposed.

The name

Aleph sits where every gaze crosses.

Aleph is the first letter of the Semitic alphabets: the birth of languages and cultures, at the very origin of how information spreads.

It is also the symbol of the infinities, in non-Aristotelian mathematics. The infinities of mathematics as much as those of networks, data, cultures, signs and points of view.

What holds us together

Four principles we don't negotiate, because they are the difference between a monitoring tool and a partner you can trust.

  • Sovereignty

    Technology and hosting in France, with no reliance beyond Europe. Your searches never leave the European legal framework.

  • Technical control

    Our index is built by our own patented collection. We know where every piece of data comes from, and how.

  • Government-grade standards

    We serve some of Europe's most demanding users. Their level of rigour has become ours.

  • French roots

    A team based in Paris and Grenoble that knows its clients and answers fast, with no distant call centre.
