resilience

Pharmaceuticals in New Zealand comes with unique challenges.

IT disaster recovery for pharmaceutical businesses in New Zealand presents unique challenges and requirements. New Zealand's geographical location makes it prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, demanding robust and adaptable recovery strategies. The pharmaceutical industry, with its strict regulatory framework and the critical need for uninterrupted supply chains, necessitates specialized IT disaster recovery solutions. These solutions must ensure the availability and integrity of sensitive data, applications, and infrastructure, while complying with local regulations, such as the Medicines Act. Additionally, New Zealand's size and remote locations accentuate the importance of effective communication, collaboration, and remote access capabilities to enable seamless recovery operations and minimize downtime.

how we do it

Four phases to completing your ITDR program.

Pharmaceuticals organisations experience similar challenges here in New Zealand, but your unique situation will require unique solutions. Our four phase approach to the management and facilitation of our programs allows space for customisation. With strict processes, timelines, responsibilities, and project management procedures in place, Fixinc ensures that your programs are following best practice, and specific to you.

Phase 1

Engagement

During the engagement phase of your ITDR program, you have the chance to get aquainted with your project team and validate the essential milestones linked to your project. This leads to potential outcomes such as:

Confirmation of project scope.

Development of implementation plan.

Assigning roles and responsibilities.

“Our resilience consultants are available to shoulder the burdens of your project. This ensures timely and cost-effective delivery. Here, you'll have a chance to meet them and build meaningful relationships."

Brad, Global Head of Consulting and co-Founder

Phase 2

Analysis

Fixinc's ITDR analysis aims to assess your current capability level and identify the critical products and services that are crucial for your organisation's survival in the event of a disruption. The key outcomes that may arise from this analysis are:

Review current documents.

Analysing organisational products and services.

Review the current threat environment.

Learn about business impact analysis

Developing comprehensive ITDR across your organisation requires a fundamental understanding of Pharmaceuticals products and services and the critical business functions that support them. This knowledge is crucial to ensure a holistic approach to business resilience and one we take very seriously.

Phase 3

Development

The development phase of a ITDR program yields tangible results and artefacts that can aid response teams in executing a well-structured and prompt response to any incident. The outcomes of this phase may include:

Develop incident response structure.

Develop recovery strategies.

Communication protocols.

Tools and checklists.

“The incident response plan serves as a framework to guide any Pharmaceuticals response team in handling a disruption promptly. To be effective, the plan should be direct, adaptable, concise, and relevant.“

Ollie, Managing Director and co-Founder

Phase 4

Validation

The fourth phase aims to validate that the activities conducted in phases 1-3 are appropriate and fullfill their intended purpose. This phase also ensures that there is a continuous program of improvement in place. The key outcomes that may result from this phase are:

Response personnel training.

Scenario exercises.

Critical component testing.

Review and audit.

Maintenance program implementation.

An incident response plan should not be considered final until it has been thoroughly validated. The validation process should not only apply to the plan but also to the individuals who will be implementing it and threat landscape unique to Pharmaceuticals in New Zealand.

Disaster Recovery advice from Fixinc

At Fixinc, we understand the challenges that New Zealand businesses face when it comes to implementing an IT Disaster Recovery program. We know that the speed and efficiency of your recovery process can make all the difference in minimizing operational disruptions and protecting your bottom line. That's why our expert consultants are here to guide you through the key components of a successful IT Disaster Recovery program.

First and foremost, it's crucial to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment tailored to your business's unique needs. Our experienced consultants will identify potential risks and vulnerabilities in your IT systems, ensuring that all critical assets are accounted for. This assessment will form the foundation for your customized IT Disaster Recovery plan.

The next key component is defining your Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO). These metrics determine how much data loss and downtime your business can tolerate during a disaster. Our consultants will work closely with you to establish realistic and achievable RPO and RTO targets that align with your business objectives.

Once your objectives are established, our consultants will design and implement the necessary infrastructure and controls to support your IT Disaster Recovery plan. This may include redundant backup systems, off-site data storage, and failover mechanisms. We will ensure that all components are properly tested and maintained to guarantee a swift response in the event of a disaster.

Lastly, ongoing monitoring and testing of your IT Disaster Recovery program is crucial to ensuring its effectiveness. Our consultants will provide regular evaluations and drills to identify any gaps or weaknesses in your plan. We'll work hand in hand with your IT team to address any issues and make necessary improvements.

With Fixinc as your trusted consulting partner, you can have confidence in your IT Disaster Recovery program. Our team of experts will provide the guidance and expertise you need to minimize risks and protect your business.
