Australia IT Disaster Recovery Plan for Pharmaceuticals
resilience

Pharmaceuticals in Australia comes with unique challenges.

An IT Disaster Recovery Plan for pharmaceutical businesses in Australia requires a unique approach due to the sensitive nature of the industry and the specific regulatory requirements in the country. The plan must address potential disruptions in IT infrastructure, systems, and data that could impact patient safety, data security, and overall business continuity. It should include strategies for mitigating risks associated with natural disasters, power outages, cyber-attacks, and compliance breaches. Additionally, the plan should comply with Australia's therapeutic regulations, privacy laws, and industry-specific guidelines to ensure the protection of patient information and the uninterrupted functioning of critical operations.

how we do it

Four phases to completing your ITDR program.

Pharmaceuticals 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 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 Australia.
