Detailed Review
SEKOIA.IO is a Paris-based SOC platform combining SIEM-style detection with its own cyber threat intelligence: the detection rules are informed by the intelligence team's tracking of active threat actors rather than written from scratch by each customer.
What Makes SEKOIA.IO Stand Out
Most SIEM deployments fail on content, not collection — nobody has time to write and maintain detection rules. SEKOIA ships continuously updated detection tied to tracked adversary behaviour, and publishes much of it openly, which is a different model from selling you an empty correlation engine.
What the Platform Covers
Log collection and detection with a maintained rule set mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, integrated cyber threat intelligence with actor and infrastructure tracking, case management and automated response, and a large library of integrations.
European Jurisdiction and NIS2
SEKOIA.IO is headquartered in Paris and hosts in France, positioning itself explicitly as a sovereign alternative for European SOCs. For organisations in scope of NIS2 the origin of both the platform and the intelligence is increasingly part of the assessment.
Security logs describe an organisation's defences, its blind spots and its incidents. Under NIS2, in-scope organisations across energy, transport, health, digital infrastructure and public administration now have reporting duties and supply chain obligations that make the origin of the security stack part of the compliance question rather than a preference.
Pricing
SaaS subscription, typically by assets or events, with MSSP pricing for providers running multiple tenants on it.
SEKOIA.IO vs Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel
Against Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale, the two European arguments are cost model and jurisdiction. Volume-based pricing turns every new log source into a budget decision, which is how SIEM deployments end up blind in exactly the places that matter; and security telemetry is the last data set most European public bodies want under foreign jurisdiction.
Who Should Use SEKOIA.IO
SEKOIA.IO fits SOC teams and managed security providers who want maintained detection content and threat intelligence rather than a blank platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
SEKOIA.IO is based in France and operates under European data-protection rules including the GDPR. Security logs contain personal data — usernames, IP addresses, access times — so this is a processing question as well as a security one.
SEKOIA.IO is based in France. Security telemetry describes an organisation's defences and its failures, which is why the vendor's jurisdiction carries unusual weight here.

SEKOIA.IO is a European alternative to Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale, generally with a cost model that does not scale directly with log volume.
Detection and logging are foundational to the NIS2 obligations around incident handling and reporting, and this category is where most of that capability sits. No product delivers compliance on its own — the directive covers governance, supply chain and reporting timelines too — but you cannot report an incident within the deadline if nothing detected it.
SEKOIA.IO is built as a European alternative to Microsoft Sentinel: French SOC platform with threat intelligence built in. It will not be a like-for-like feature match in every respect, so check the review above for where the two genuinely differ before switching.
