Build & operate
Architecture design, custom software development, cloud platforms, infrastructure as code and operations. The same rigour from the first technical choice to keeping systems in working order.

The subject is not the technology
Your information system is not a stack of contracts. It is a system to be governed.
The more an information system fragments, the more its grey areas cost: incidents bounced from one vendor to another, slower decisions, compliance that is hard to prove. IKNSA brings the whole back onto a single trajectory.

Our expertise
Six practice areas. One reading of what is at stake.
Each practice can be engaged on its own. Together, they can carry a complete programme — from the decision to invest through to day-to-day running.
Applications & data
CRM, ERP, document management, e-invoicing, business intelligence and process automation. We start from the business flow, choose the right building block, then organise integration and the data.
View this practice
Cybersecurity
Reducing exposure, protecting identities and assets, detection, incident response and resilience. The cyber practice acts on the technical and operational risk of the information system.
View this practiceAudit & compliance
Qualifying obligations, gap assessments, remediation plans and evidence preparation. GDPR, HDS, NIS2, the AI Act and sector frameworks are handled by a dedicated practice, with explicit roles between advisory, audit and certification.
View this practice
Strategy & governance
IT master plans, enterprise architecture, CIO-as-a-service, vendor portfolio and programme steering. Proportionate governance that connects investment, risk and business value.
View this practiceOutsourced delivery governance
Design and governance of onshore, nearshore or offshore delivery set-ups. The delivery model is chosen for the context; accountability, assets, security, quality and reversibility remain firmly steered.
View this practiceOur engagement model
Clarity before speed. Then cadence.
An IKNSA engagement makes decisions, responsibilities and service quality visible. You know what is being done, why, at what level of risk — and how to exit.
Understand
Business context, dependencies, constraints, risks and success criteria.
Decide
Argued scenarios, target architecture, roadmap and governance.
Execute
Controllable batches, acceptance criteria, automation and continuous handover.
Operate
Service levels, observability, continuous improvement and tested reversibility.
What governance must be able to show at any time
- Architecture decisions on record
- Explicit responsibilities and dependencies
- Measured service levels
- Risks and exceptions tracked
- Proven restores and recoveries
- A maintained reversibility plan
Audit & compliance
Compliance is designed into the information system. It is proven over time.
We translate regulatory frameworks into concrete decisions: architecture, roles, vendor clauses, controls, logging, continuity and evidence. Where a qualified or certified third party is required, the scope is made explicit.
- GDPRData, processing activities, processors and privacy by design
- NIS2Risk governance, resilience and readiness for supervision
- HDSArchitectures and migration paths towards certified health-data hosting
- AI ActInventory, roles, risk classification and lifecycle governance
Online assessment
Situate your organisation before commissioning an audit.
A library of twenty-two guided assessments covers the information system as a whole: governance, applications, data, cloud, cyber, resilience, the AI Act and other sector frameworks. Score, dimensions and priorities appear before any contact details are requested.
