/arckit:fr-anssi-carto produces an ANSSI-methodology information system cartography across four reading levels (business, application, system, network). Required for IS homologation and EBIOS RM studies.


Inputs

Artefact Purpose
Requirements (ARC-<id>-REQ-v1.0.md) IS scope and business missions
Data model (ARC-<id>-DATA-v1.0.md) Application data flows
Architecture diagrams Existing network and system topology

Command

/arckit:fr-anssi-carto Produce IS cartography for <IS scope and organisation>

Output: projects/<id>/ARC-<id>-CARTO-v1.0.md


Assessment Structure (4 Levels)

Level Contents Identifiers
Level 1: Business Core missions, business processes, value chain VM-xx, P-xx
Level 2: Application Applications, data flows, interfaces, APIs APP-xx
Level 3: System Servers, databases, OS, middleware, endpoints SRV-xx, DB-xx
Level 4: Network Network topology, firewall rules, DMZ, interconnections NET-xx, INT-xx

One-Page Workflow

Phase Key Activities ArcKit Commands
Discovery IS scope and requirements /arckit:requirements
Data mapping Data model /arckit:data-model
Cartography 4-level IS mapping /arckit:fr-anssi-carto
Risk analysis EBIOS RM (uses VM-xx IDs) /arckit:fr-ebios
Security policy PSSI /arckit:fr-pssi

Review Checklist

  • All 4 levels documented with consistent identifiers.
  • Business missions mapped to supporting applications (Level 1 → Level 2 traceability).
  • Sensitive data flows identified across application boundaries (Level 2).
  • Critical servers and databases catalogued with OS and lifecycle status (Level 3).
  • Network perimeter, DMZ, and external interconnections documented (Level 4).
  • Attack surface summary produced with sensitive flows highlighted.
  • VM-xx identifiers consistent with EBIOS RM feared events.
  • Assessment classified Diffusion Restreinte.

Key Notes

  • Homologation prerequisite: IS cartography is mandatory evidence in a French IS homologation dossier.
  • EBIOS RM link: The VM-xx (Valeurs Métier) identifiers in Level 1 directly feed the feared events in Workshop 1 of the EBIOS RM study.
  • Living document: Cartography must be updated when IS changes — establish a review trigger in the PSSI.
