Australia IT Disaster Recovery for Local Government
resilience

Local Government in Australia comes with unique challenges.

IT Disaster Recovery for local government businesses in Australia presents unique challenges and requirements. These businesses store vast amounts of critical data related to citizen services and public infrastructure. Effective disaster recovery planning must consider the diverse geographical landscape and potential natural disasters specific to Australia, such as bushfires, floods, and cyclones. Local government entities also need to comply with various state and federal regulations in terms of data security and privacy. Robust backup and recovery systems, redundant infrastructure, and efficient communication channels are necessary to ensure seamless restoration of services and minimize downtime in the event of an IT disaster.

how we do it

Four phases to completing your ITDR program.

Local Government organisations experience similar challenges here in Australia, 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 Local Government 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 Local Government 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 Local Government in Australia.

Disaster Recovery advice from Fixinc

At Fixinc, we understand the challenges that Australian businesses face when it comes to implementing an effective IT Disaster Recovery program. With the increasing reliance on technology and the potential risks and threats that exist, it is crucial for businesses to have a robust plan in place to safeguard their operations.

One key component of an IT Disaster Recovery program is conducting a thorough risk assessment. This involves identifying potential vulnerabilities and threats specific to your business, and evaluating their potential impact. By understanding the risks you face, you can develop strategies to mitigate them and ensure the continuity of your operations.

Another important aspect is establishing a comprehensive backup and recovery system. This involves regularly backing up your data and systems, both onsite and offsite, to ensure that in the event of a disaster, you can quickly restore your operations. Our team at Fixinc can assist you in selecting the right backup solutions and develop a recovery plan that meets your specific needs.

Additionally, a well-designed communication plan is crucial during a disaster. Having clear communication channels and protocols in place ensures that your key stakeholders are informed and involved in the recovery process. At Fixinc, we can help you develop a communication strategy that keeps your team and clients informed, minimizing confusion and minimizing downtime.
