An open letter from Whaller to those who still believe a different kind of digital world is possible
There are years we pass through without really noticing them. And then there are others that compel us to take a step back, to measure the distance travelled, to acknowledge what has changed — within us, around us, and in the mission we carry. 2025 was one of these defining years.
This year, Whaller did not simply evolve: it came into its own. Every project, every encounter, every decision helped turn what was once only an ambition into a concrete, visible movement, now widely shared.
2025: the year Whaller DONJON scaled up
Just two years ago, digital sovereignty was still mainly a subject for specialists. In 2025, this is no longer the case. The adoption of Whaller DONJON, our SecNumCloud-qualified platform, accelerated in a way we had never witnessed before. Local authorities, ministries, and both public and private organisations took the leap for one simple reason: trust is no longer negotiable.
We saw teams migrate to an environment where collaboration is fully controlled. We supported leaders determined to protect their sensitive data, anticipate regulatory requirements, and build a sustainable digital foundation.
This momentum is not merely a commercial success. It is proof that a sovereign alternative is no longer a marginal option: it is becoming an obvious choice.
A strengthened commitment alongside those who protect
2025 was also the year our commitment to the National Guard took on a new dimension. Our employees serving in the operational and citizen reserve embodied strong values of responsibility and service. And when Whaller received the National Guard Award, we saw in it far more than recognition: a confirmation that digital sovereignty is not merely a technical issue, but a pillar of national resilience.
This commitment is not a communication strategy. It is part of who we are.
Supporting our clients in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape
Organisations are no longer simply seeking high-performance tools: they need solutions capable of guiding them through demanding regulatory frameworks such as NIS2, DORA or the requirements associated with Restricted Distribution.
In 2025, we significantly strengthened our support:
- structuring compartmentalised environments,
- integrating compliant and fully documented tools,
- providing guidance on risk analysis,
- deploying secure solutions for sensitive contexts.
Once again, our role extended far beyond providing a platform. We helped organisations reach a level of digital maturity they had thought unattainable.
A platform that continues to evolve with its users
In 2025, Whaller continued to evolve in step with its users’ needs. We introduced a classified ads module designed to strengthen community life and encourage internal exchanges beyond strictly professional interactions. This feature has transformed many spheres into genuine hubs of proximity, where people can offer services, share advice, or lend a hand.
We also took an important step forward in security and user experience with the introduction of invisible authentication, a discreet and protective approach that enhances cybersecurity without burdening teams in their daily work.
Our file management system underwent extensive improvements too: simpler, more flexible, and more coherent, it now adapts seamlessly to environments managing sensitive data or large document flows.
Finally, our collaboration with iTrust around a sovereign French XDR solution opened new horizons. It positions Whaller at the heart of a demanding cybersecurity ecosystem, aligned with national priorities and capable of delivering levels of protection previously reserved for highly specialised structures.
These developments have strengthened Whaller as a complete, reliable and forward-looking environment.
And 2026 already promises to be an even more ambitious year.
2026: continuing a shared vision
As we enter 2026, one conviction guides us: digital sovereignty has never been more relevant, nor more demanding. It is our responsibility to continue providing responsible, sustainable and controlled technology, while remaining true to what defines Whaller: a profoundly human platform.
2026 will be a year of acceleration.
A year in which we will strengthen the user experience, pursue our institutional commitments, and better support organisations as they transition towards a mature, secure and resilient digital model. A year in which we will continue to uphold our ambition: to offer a credible and inspiring alternative, without compromising our values.
Thank you for 2025. And welcome to what comes next.
To those who placed their trust in us, who migrated, tested, challenged, improved and encouraged us: thank you.
To our institutional and private partners: thank you for your high standards.
To our users, from beginners to experts: thank you for bringing Whaller to life every day.
To our team, committed and resilient: thank you for holding the course, even when the waters were less calm.
If Whaller continues to move forward, it is because an entire community believes in it. And if 2026 is to be a remarkable year, it will be thanks to you.
Happy New Year 2026, and thank you for standing with us as we build a digital world that truly reflects who we are.
The Whaller team
