Handover guaranteedIf the mission director is no longer available, a named senior freelance takes over the file within thirty days, and the documentary escrow is updated at every committee.
Before handing over a governance engagement you want to know who you are dealing with. The cabinet is a French company founded in June 2023; a systems engineer runs every engagement and signs every deliverable. When a skill is missing, meaning design, development, writing, infrastructure or compliance, senior French freelances are named in the proposal, bound by confidentiality, and included in the envelope. Four rules are written into every proposal: no commission from any supplier, no hidden subcontracting, a senior contact from the first conversation, and compliance sold rather than worked around. If the mission director is no longer available, a named second takes over the file within thirty days. The scoping call of 30 minutes is free of charge, and every grid is published, from 290 € excluding VAT a month to 45 000 € excluding VAT a year.
One engineer, named reinforcements.
No opaque subcontracting, and no oversized team billed by default.
Walter Walczak, a systems engineer, founded the cabinet in June 2023 and runs every engagement from end to end: scoping, trade-offs, committee, delivery to your executive team. He is your single contact, and he signs what he delivers. Behind that: fifteen years of operations in the lower layer of digital, meaning critical infrastructure, rebuilding legacy stacks, publishing B2B software, technical direction, and sensitive cloud migrations for mid-caps.
When an engagement requires more than mission direction, the cabinet mandates senior French freelances from its network. They are named in the scoped proposal with their role, bound by a confidentiality undertaking signed before any access, steered by the cabinet and included in the envelope of the contract. You do not have to find them, contract with them or pay them separately.
- Named at scoping: every person who touches your engagement appears in the proposal, with their role.
- Included in the envelope: no additional billing that is not written into the contract.
- Confidentiality: an undertaking signed before any access to your systems or your documents.
What happens if the mission director is no longer available
It is the legitimate objection facing a cabinet of this size, and it is written into the contract rather than promised in a conversation.
Documentary escrow
Register, charter, minutes and documentation are placed in escrow and updated at every committee.
A named senior second
A senior freelance is named in the contract, bound by a confidentiality undertaking, and briefed on the file.
Handover within 30 days
If the mission director becomes unavailable, handover by the named second is guaranteed within thirty days.
Data with you
Data is hosted with you or on French infrastructure under contract, and returned in open formats when you leave.
Four rules, written into every proposal.
They are what makes advice credible in front of a regulator.
| The rule | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| No reseller commission | Including when the cabinet recommends a competitor on a perimeter it does not cover. |
| No hidden subcontracting | Every person who touches your engagement is named at scoping and bound by a confidentiality undertaking. |
| Direct to the decision maker | A senior consultant from the first conversation, with no sales representative in between. |
| The cabinet sells compliance | It does not work around it: no mass harvesting of data, and no rule bent to win a mandate. |
Four refusals follow from them, also in writing. No access is ever withheld, not even in a dispute, and reversibility is owed within thirty days without billing. No payment is taken from a publisher or a hosting provider for a recommendation. No data leaves the European Union without prior written agreement. And no obligation of result on the absolute security of an exposed system: the engagement is one of reinforced means, in writing.
Thirty minutes
An executive scoping call by video or on site. Your context, and what triggered the request. The cabinet names the offer and an indicative envelope.
Written summary
One page within 48 hours: what the cabinet understood, what it recommends, what it costs, and who to turn to if it is not the right contact.
Scoped proposal
Within five working days: perimeter, deliverables, hours allowance, calendar, continuity and exit clauses.
Start
Within fifteen days of signature: scoping letter, access, first survey. The ninety-day calendar begins.
The proposal is signed and leaves no grey area, and no scope drift is imposed along the way. The delivery gives the positions held, the figures, the trade-offs and a ninety-day roadmap, in a signed document that is your property.
A cabinet, not an agency.
The cabinet holds that digital sovereignty is built through architecture and contract, not through an acceptable-use charter. It refuses to sell time without a perimeter, audits without a follow-on, and tools it does not master. It commits one single senior contact, named freelances, signed deliverables, and products it publishes itself. You will know it is held when every engagement ends with a document you could hand to somebody else.
A first conversation of 30 minutes
By video or on site, at no charge. Your context, and what triggered the request. The cabinet names the offer and an indicative envelope, and says no when it is not the right contact.
A written summary, then a scoped proposal
One page within 48 hours, then within five working days the perimeter, the deliverables, the hours allowance, the calendar and the exit clauses.
The engagement, run by the person who signed it
A start within fifteen days of signature, then a signed delivery report presented to your executive team, independent of any follow-on.
10 questions, 10 answers.
The cabinet's answers, in plain terms. If your question is not here, ask it: the answer comes back to you in writing.
Who are we dealing with?
Walter Walczak, a systems engineer who founded the cabinet in June 2023, runs every engagement and signs every deliverable. Magnetiks Digital is a French company (SASU), a member of the French Tech network, with trademarks registered at the INPI. Fifteen years of operations in the lower layer of digital: critical infrastructure, rebuilding legacy stacks, B2B software publishing, technical direction, sensitive cloud migrations for mid-caps.
Who actually works on our engagement?
One single contact who runs the engagement and signs the deliverables. When the work requires more than mission direction, meaning design, development, writing, infrastructure or compliance, the cabinet mandates senior French freelances from its network: they are named in the scoped proposal, bound by a confidentiality undertaking signed before any access, and included in the envelope of the contract. No opaque subcontracting, no unwritten extra cost.
You are a small cabinet. What happens if you are no longer available?
It is the legitimate objection, and it is answered by architecture rather than by assurance: a documentary escrow updated at every committee, a named senior freelance written into the contract and briefed on the file, handover guaranteed within thirty days, and data hosted either with you or on French infrastructure under contract. On VERA OS, code escrow and on-premise deployment are available at the Enterprise tier.
What rules does the cabinet impose on itself?
Four, published and enforceable in every scoped proposal: no reseller commission, including when the cabinet recommends a competitor on a perimeter it does not cover; no hidden subcontracting; direct contact with the decision maker, with no sales representative in between; and the cabinet sells compliance rather than working around it, which rules out any mass harvesting of data.
Why the word cabinet rather than agency?
Because the two do not sell the same thing. An agency sells production, a site, a campaign, a project, and its success is measured at delivery. A cabinet sells an opinion, a method and a responsibility held over time: register, committee, standby, hours allowance, reversibility, with a report signed by the person who conducted the work. The cabinet has sold neither web projects nor isolated acts since October 2026, and it recommends a peer without taking a commission when a perimeter falls outside its own.
How are we billed, and by whom?
By the French company. A governance contract is billed quarterly in advance over twelve months, diagnostics on order, and the AEO and GEO programme monthly. Every grid is published on the pricing page and identical for every client. There is no discount on the central tier.
Do we have to be in France to work with you?
No. The cabinet works remotely across France, the European Union and French-speaking Switzerland, and travels for in-person delivery sessions when that is useful. Scoping, committees and engagements are held by video conference. Travel is written into the contract when it serves a purpose, never imposed.
Where is the data you handle for our engagement hosted?
With you, or on French infrastructure under contract. No transfer outside the European Union, the list of sub-processors supplied with the contract, a processing register kept, and everything returned in open formats when you leave. The cabinet does not route your documents through a consumer American tool.
Does the cabinet replace our data protection officer?
No, it works with them. The officer covers personal data; the cabinet covers what carries it: sites, forms, hosting providers, vendors, access rights, incidents, and the digital habits of the teams. The register of sites, flows and vendors is kept by the cabinet and exportable for an inspection.
What do we receive at the end of an engagement?
A signed delivery report, your property, presented to your executive team. It gives the positions held, the figures, the trade-offs made and a ninety-day roadmap. It is handed over by the mission director, who ran the engagement from end to end and signs what he delivers. The document is independent of any follow-on engagement: it stays usable even if the relationship stops there.
