The United States IT Disaster Recovery Plan for Manufacturing
resilience

Manufacturing in The United States comes with unique challenges.

The United States manufacturing industry faces unique challenges when it comes to IT disaster recovery planning. With the increasing reliance on technology in this sector, a robust disaster recovery plan becomes even more essential. Manufacturing businesses need to consider the potential impact of disasters on their IT infrastructure, including the loss of critical production systems and supply chain disruptions. Additionally, given the vast geographical spread of manufacturing facilities in the United States, the plan must account for regional variations in risk and ensure seamless data replication and recovery across multiple sites. It is crucial for these businesses to invest in comprehensive backup and recovery systems, periodic testing, and cross-functional collaboration to minimize downtime and quickly resume operations in the event of an IT disaster.

how we do it

Four phases to completing your ITDR program.

Manufacturing organisations experience similar challenges here in The United States, 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.

Developing comprehensive ITDR across your organisation requires a fundamental understanding of Manufacturing 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 Manufacturing 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 Manufacturing in The United States.

Disaster Recovery advice from Fixinc

At Fixinc, we understand the challenges that businesses face when it comes to IT Disaster Recovery. With the increasing reliance on technology for day-to-day operations, it is essential for businesses to have a robust and comprehensive plan in place to mitigate the risks associated with IT failures.

One of the key components that businesses in the United States need to consider when implementing an IT Disaster Recovery program is conducting a thorough risk assessment. This involves identifying potential vulnerabilities and assessing the potential impact of IT failures on business operations. By understanding the risks specific to their organization, businesses can develop targeted strategies to address these vulnerabilities.

Another crucial aspect of an IT Disaster Recovery program is the development of a detailed recovery plan. This plan should outline the steps to be taken in the event of an IT failure, including processes for data backup and recovery, system restoration, and communication protocols. A well-designed recovery plan ensures that businesses can respond swiftly and effectively to minimize downtime and protect critical data.

In addition to risk assessment and recovery planning, businesses should also prioritize regular testing and validation of their IT Disaster Recovery program. This involves simulating various disaster scenarios to identify any gaps or weaknesses in the plan. By conducting regular testing, businesses can make necessary adjustments and ensure their IT systems can be restored quickly and efficiently when needed.

At Fixinc, we offer comprehensive consulting services to help businesses implement and optimize their IT Disaster Recovery programs. Our experienced team of consultants will work closely with you to assess your unique needs, develop a customized strategy, and guide you through the implementation process. Don't wait until disaster strikes - partner with Fixinc today and safeguard your business against IT failures.
