our Business
When I founded OPSMAN in November 2011, my aim was to demonstrate that security can be managed effectively by implementing a security risk management framework aligned with corporate objectives, supported by a strong security risk-based organizational policy and program.
Through close collaboration with our customers, we continue to learn and demonstrate our ability to provide a professional security risk management service. We are now ready to take on new challenges without compromising the core values that continue to define our company.
Our commitment: we strive for excellence in the security solutions we provide for our customers!

LINKEDIN
In 2011, Christophe decided to set up his own company, with the aim of becoming a reference in Europe for the effective management of risks linked to the safety of people and property.
Active in Belgium, France and Switzerland since 2012, OPSMAN supports its customers in the definition, creation and implementation of key risk prevention and management tools.
Detecting, identifying and assessing risks provides a clear and precise vision of the path to follow. Managing these risks helps to avoid unforeseen pitfalls, prevent crisis situations and deal with them effectively when they arise.
Over the past 20 years, we have witnessed changes in the landscape and spectrum of risks in continental Europe and worldwide. From a relatively well-known and stable spectrum of recurring risks, mainly linked to domestic, urban or organized crime, we have moved in recent years to a much broader and less stable spectrum of risks linked to terrorist acts committed in the very heart of our European capitals.
OPSMAN is accredited by the Belgian Ministry of the Interior as a security consultancy and has numerous verifiable references.
Our experts have been active in the private security sector for over 20 years. Each of us worked in security management in Europe and Africa. Some of us have worked in the hospitality and corporate events sectors, others in professional training, audit management and coaching.
Validation of competencIes
Christophe is one of the most details oriented, approachable and professional leader I have had the pleasure of working with. His efficiency, expertise and strong guidance skills, in such sensitive sector as security, have always been key factors of success that led our goals straight to the aim. A reference!
We had many European delegations and high-ranking guests where Christophe constantly demonstrated his strong expertise, which was an asset to the hotel. He is a high professional and one can always count on his support. It was a great time and I enjoyed working with him.
Nous tenons à remercier OPSMAN pour la qualité du travail effectué pendant la préparation, la gestion sur site et le suivi des Journées Européennes du Développement 2017 tout comme cela est le cas depuis 2012.
