The decision point
Resilience must be demonstrated at the scale of the functions, not only of the technical components.
The framing identifies the critical or important functions and the applications, data, sites and third parties that support them. Changes and controls are connected to tolerances, scenarios and evidence that let leadership understand the residual risk.
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.
- Critical functions and tolerances
- Applications, data and traceability
- ICT risk, identities and security
- Incidents, crisis and notifications
- Resilience testing and remediation
- Third-party register, concentration and exit
A usable result
A transformation connected to the functions and the resilience obligations.
The roadmap articulates modernisation, risk reduction and evidence requirements. It gives an explicit place to providers, to testing and to leadership decisions on residual risks.

Method
An engagement that stays readable from scope to decision.
Understand
Start from the operations, the client commitments and the constraints specific to the sector.
Map
Connect critical processes, applications, data, infrastructure, suppliers and teams.
Secure
Define measures proportionate to the business impacts and the applicable requirements.
Steer
Build a realistic, measurable trajectory compatible with the business cycles.
Point of vigilance
What the engagement must make explicit.
An ICT provider is not automatically a financial entity subject to DORA. Direct obligations, contractual requirements received from clients and the other applicable frameworks must remain distinguished.
The first conversation verifies the context, the level of urgency, the stakeholders and the output genuinely expected.
