Education in New Zealand comes with unique challenges.

In New Zealand's education industry, IT disaster recovery programs possess unique characteristics and requirements. Given the criticality of uninterrupted operations in educational institutions, these programs must address potential disruptions such as natural disasters, system failures, or cyberattacks. Their design should incorporate specific needs related to the educational sector, including safeguarding student data, maintaining access to online learning platforms, and ensuring continuity in administrative tasks such as grading and scheduling. Additionally, considering the dynamic nature of educational environments, disaster recovery programs for New Zealand's education businesses should be regularly updated and tested to align with evolving technologies and emerging threats.

how we do it

Four phases to completing your ITDR program.

Education 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 Education 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 Education 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 Education in New Zealand.
