BCP & DRP
Prepare continuity from the vital activities, then prove the recovery.
IKNSA connects business impacts, technical dependencies, backups, crisis organisation and exercises to build resilience that can genuinely be demonstrated.

The decision point
BCP/DRP turns a business tolerance into verifiable technical and organisational capabilities.
The impact analysis identifies the activities, lead times, volumes and dependencies that condition the company's survival or its commitments. Continuity and recovery strategies are then confronted with the architectures, contracts and resources that can actually be mobilised.
Working scope
The dimensions examined together.
The framing avoids treating separately subjects that condition one another. The final scope remains adapted to the organisation and its priorities.
- Business impact analysis and priorities
- Application, data and infrastructure dependencies
- Backups, restoration and immutability
- Sites, remote work and degraded modes
- Vendors, contracts and key resources
- Crisis, exercises and continuous improvement
A usable result
Recovery objectives compatible with the available means.
The set-up gives a recovery order understood by the business and the technical teams. The exercises produce gaps, decisions and retests instead of merely confirming that the document exists.

Method
An engagement that stays readable from scope to decision.
Qualify
Connect the need to the processes, the users, the dependencies and the success criteria.
Design
Arbitrate the architecture, the responsibilities, the risks and the trajectory before committing to delivery.
Implement
Deliver in controlled stages with acceptance criteria, evidence and regular visibility.
Hand over
Document operations, decisions and reversibility to avoid any implicit dependency.
Point of vigilance
What the engagement must make explicit.
Backup protects part of the data; it replaces neither the availability of identities, networks, suppliers and teams, nor the business decision on the order of recovery.
The first conversation verifies the context, the level of urgency, the stakeholders and the output genuinely expected.
