From application audit to disaster management system architecture
A sequence of two assignments: an audit of 50+ BNPB systems and applications (2022), followed by a grand design and architecture for 2024–2025.
The system and application audit and the grand design are two separate assignments presented as one sequence. The audit-stage role is not recorded in the source material; the publishable contribution focuses on the grand design and architecture.
The published role is Product Strategy for the grand design and architecture. The system and application audit was an earlier stage; the audit role is not recorded in the source material. The architecture outcome is a design, not evidence of implementation.

Context and challenge
Disaster management information was spread across many systems and units, while national coordination required one clear direction.
The audit found 50+ applications across work units. The disaster cycle also has different needs before a disaster, during emergency response, and after a disaster.
The assignment sequence and approach
System and application audit
The 2022 stage evaluated 50+ applications across units using CISA-based information systems audit standards, produced business-process findings, and mapped integration needs with national systems. The founder’s recorded role focuses on the following stage.
A TOGAF-based grand design
The grand design used TOGAF, referencing the UNDRR Data Strategy, the ASEAN Disaster Management ICT Roadmap, and the AADMER Work Programme, aligned with e-government regulation.
Cross-unit interviews
Requirements were gathered through interviews with 20+ internal units and external stakeholders, so the design would not reflect a single viewpoint.
Three design components
The implementation architecture proposed early warning analytics, a fast-response system, and rehabilitation monitoring—one for each phase of disaster management.
Founder’s contribution
Shaped product strategy and system architecture, from the framework through the design of three core components. The publishable contribution focuses on the grand design and architecture stage; the audit role is not recorded.

architecture components designed
- The audit’s interoperability architecture recommendation became the basis for BNPB’s 2024–2025 ICT Grand Design.
- A grand design and implementation architecture with three design components, one for each phase of disaster management.
- The design serves as a reference for judging the priority of future system investments.
The three components are architecture recommendations. The source material does not state that all three have been built.
What other institutions can take from it
- An honest audit gives a defensible basis for a grand design.
- A grand design is useful when it shows the relationship between phase needs, system components, and development priorities.
- Architecture recommendations should be read as direction, not as evidence of implementation.
