Our IT missions during insolvency proceedings

Information system backup and recovery

Secure recovery and backup of all critical data: databases (accounting, CRM, ERP), email systems, shared files and archives. A complete image of the IT system is created as soon as proceedings are opened.

Deliverable: Certified backup report, complete IT system image, secure access for the court-appointed administrator.

Assigned profile: State-certified engineer - IT security

Key steps

  • Complete IT system image
  • Secure backup
  • Compliance report
  • Administrator access

Administrator account takeover

The company's IT teams have left along with their credentials. We regain control of administrator accounts (Active Directory, servers, routers, firewalls, hosting providers) to restore the court-appointed administrator's decision-making authority.

Deliverable: Inventory of recovered access, secure handover of credentials to the court-appointed administrator.

Assigned profile: IT security expert

Actions

  • Orphan access audit
  • Active Directory takeover
  • Server/network control
  • Secure handover to administrator

Maintaining ERP, email and payroll access

Business tools (ERP, payroll software, email system) must remain accessible throughout the proceedings to enable the production of legally required documents. We maintain these systems operational without continuing the vendor contract.

Deliverable: Maintained and documented access, progressive licence shutdown plan.

Assigned profile: State-certified engineer - IT security

Services

  • ERP kept operational
  • Email system active
  • Payroll software accessible
  • Controlled access shutdown

Secure digital escrow

All backed-up data is placed under secure digital escrow for the legally required retention period: 5, 7 or 10 years depending on the nature of the documents (accounting, tax, payroll). Controlled access and full traceability.

Deliverable: Escrow certificate, archived data inventory, documented access procedure.

Assigned profile: State-certified engineer - IT security

Retention periods

  • 5 years - commercial documents
  • 7 years - accounting documents
  • 10 years - tax/payroll documents
