🎯 Unified Business-Technical Mapping with BPMN 2.0
New in 2026: Mercator now integrates business process modeling using the BPMN 2.0 (Business Process Model and Notation) standard, creating a unified mapping where your business processes are directly linked to your technical infrastructure.
360° view of your organization:
- Model your business processes using the BPMN 2.0 standard notation
- Link each task to the applications, servers, and infrastructure that support it
- Identify the technical impact of a business process change
- Assess the business impact of a technical incident
Strategic use cases:
- Impact analysis: A critical server goes down? Instantly visualize which business processes are affected
- Optimization: Identify processes relying on obsolete or at-risk infrastructure
- NIS2 compliance: Document essential processes and their technical dependencies
- Communication: A common language between business teams, IT, and management

🌐 Multi-view: Visualize Your IT from Every Angle
Mercator allows you to explore your information system from five complementary perspectives, each tailored to a specific need.
Available views:
- Ecosystem view: Relationships with your suppliers, partners, and external entities
- Application view: Application mapping and their interconnections
- Logical infrastructure view: Network architecture, security zones, data flows
- Physical infrastructure view: Datacenters, server rooms, hardware equipment
- Business process view: Workflows and their technical support (Enterprise)
Each view is interactive and allows natural navigation between different perspectives to understand relationships and dependencies.
📊 ANSSI Compliance and Maturity
 | Automatically assess your maturity level according to ANSSI recommendations. Mercator analyzes your mapping and calculates a compliance score based on the completeness and quality of your data. |
Key indicators:
- Maturity score by domain (governance, protection, defense, resilience)
- Automatic identification of gaps and deficiencies
- Prioritization of improvement actions
- Tracking of evolution over time
Ready-to-use reports for audits and management reviews, compliant with regulatory requirements (NIS2, ISO 27001, HDS).
🔍 Exploration and Impact Analysis
Navigate intuitively through your mapping and discover relationships between your assets
 | Click on any element to instantly visualize its upstream and downstream dependencies. The interactive graphical interface allows you to explore your information system naturally: start from a business application to identify the servers hosting it, the databases it uses, and the business processes it supports. Or follow the reverse path: from a physical server, trace back to the business services that depend on it. Each click reveals a new level of detail. Relationships are visually materialized, allowing you to understand at a glance the potential impact of an outage, an update, or a configuration change. |
This exploratory navigation transforms static documentation into a living map of your infrastructure, where each technical component is directly linked to its business value.
📈 Overview and Dashboards
Get a synthetic view of your information system through dynamic and customizable dashboards.
| Monitor the health and composition of your IT landscape at a glance.
