A unique approach to resilience
Designed to meet the challenges of ransomware and systemic crises, the Ransom-Kick method goes far beyond mere technical plans.
It is based on 7 complementary pillars, which enable the organisation’s resilience to be mapped, decided, restored and strengthened.
The 7 pillars of organisational resilience
1. Human governance
Resilience starts with people. This pillar defines the essential roles (sponsor, pilot, business relays) and establishes a culture of fluid communication and rapid decision-making, just like an effective crisis unit.
2. Business Prioritisation
Not all activities are critical. Using Business Impact Analysis (BIA), this pillar identifies vital processes and their business objects, setting clear priorities via RTO and RPO indicators.
3. Pragmatic continuity
When systems are shut down, certain functions must continue. This pillar structures the business continuity plan (BCP) to maintain the essentials in degraded mode, with alternative solutions.
4. Controlled recovery
IT systems must be restored quickly and efficiently. This pillar formalises the disaster recovery plan (DRP), optimising the switchover to backup environments and industrialising the recovery processes.
5. Strategic steering
A global vision is essential in times of crisis. This pillar orchestrates the BIA, BCP and DRP plans within a coherent decision-making framework, based on structuring concepts such as the business object and the point of truth.
6. Practical validation
An untested plan remains theoretical. This pillar organises exercises, audits and feedback to test systems, detect weak signals and strengthen preparedness.
7. Certification traçable
Resilience can be demonstrated. This last pillar is based on Arkeion Certification (Bronze to Diamond), guaranteeing the transparency and reproducibility of the organisation’s real capabilities.
An integrated, top-down method
The Ransom-Kick method always follows the same logic:
👉 Business need → Business function → Application → Infrastructure.
Each pillar feeds into the others, ensuring that technology remains at the service of business priorities.
