# ITDR System Analysis > Comprehensive assessment of critical IT systems, dependencies, failover capabilities, and recovery priorities to provide visibility and actionable recovery planning during disruptions. *This content is available in full at: https://www.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-system-analysis* ## Overview If you don't know how your systems connect, you won't know what's failing or what to recover first. This module maps your infrastructure, uncovers risks, and gives you the visibility to lead with confidence during a disruption. Fixinc conducts a comprehensive assessment of your critical IT systems, dependencies, failover capabilities, and recovery priorities. We identify gaps in system knowledge, high-risk interdependencies, and areas where documentation or ownership is unclear. The output is a visual, actionable breakdown of what must be recovered, by when, and in what order. We've worked across everything from cloud-native stacks to legacy hybrid systems. Fixinc brings technical experience and a business lens, ensuring your systems analysis connects to your actual continuity risk. We also integrate findings into our [Digital BIA Software](https://docs.fixinc.io/technology/business-impact-analysis.md) and [F24 platform](https://docs.fixinc.io/technology/f24.md), making your recovery logic visible, testable, and reportable. ## Delivery Approach Fixinc delivers ITDR System Analysis through a four-step Plan-Do-Check-Act methodology: 1. **Plan**: Agile, first-principles planning ensures a smooth rollout of your refreshed program 2. **Do**: We will ensure ITDR System Analysis is rolled out smoothly at your organisation 3. **Check**: Your ITDR System Analysis is draft until validated, we will fix that 4. **Act**: Your team and ours will be ready when your ITDR System Analysis is activated in real-life ## Engagement Process ### Initial Consultation - A link will be sent to you via email from our Advisory team. You get to pick a time to chat that's convenient to you, over the phone, Teams, Zoom, or in person - 30-45 minutes: Tell us what your objectives are. We have a set of questions ready for you. We'll share how we do things and give you a chance for any Q&A - Proposal and quote delivered within 24 hours detailing the scope of work. One week later, we will discuss it. 10 minutes later you will have a final quote to sign - 5 weeks: If it's not signed off within 5 weeks, we'll assume it's not the right time ### Delivery Phases - **Review and Health Check**: All ITDR System Analysis we implement starts with a deep review of what's already in place. We set benchmarks formed from best practice and ISO standards - **Design and Develop**: With as much involvement as necessary from your team, we'll build out the ITDR System Analysis part of your ITDR program to the highest quality available - **Validate**: Where appropriate, we will test and validate your new ITDR System Analysis discipline. This provides tangible evidence of capability and maturity to your stakeholders - **Maintain**: The number one setback for organisations who embed resilience is momentum. We'll build a plan to ensure your ITDR System Analysis runs annually ## Related ITDR Disciplines Expand your ITDR System Analysis with additional disciplines: - [ITDR Component Testing](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-component-testing.md): Tests individual ITDR components from backup systems to restoration protocols - [Disaster Recovery Training](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/disaster-recovery-training.md): Trains leaders, operators, and support teams to understand ITDR and their role in it - [ITDR Test Exercise](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-test-exercise.md): Simulates a real-world IT disaster to test team response and identify breakdowns - [ITDR Training](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-training.md): Turns ITDR knowledge into team-wide capability - [Cyber Response Exercise](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/cyber-response-exercise.md): Simulates targeted cyber events in real time for rapid response practice - [ITDR Business Impact Analysis Report](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-business-impact-analysis-report.md): Delivers structured reports from your ITDR Business Impact Analysis - [IT Applications and Systems Mapping](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/it-applications-and-systems-mapping.md): Maps every application and system in your environment - [ITDR Plan Training for Technical Teams](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-plan-training-for-technical-teams.md): Trains IT and infrastructure teams on recovery plan execution - [ITDR Program Review and Audit](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-program-review-and-audit.md): Audits entire recovery capability including systems, people, and plans - [ITDR Plan Development](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-plan-development.md): Builds disaster recovery plans around reality and how systems actually operate - [ITDR Business Impact Analysis](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-business-impact-analysis.md): Focuses IT recovery on what actually matters to your business - [ITDR Threat Analysis](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/itdr-threat-analysis.md): Analyses the evolving threat landscape to keep disaster recovery plans current ## Frequently Asked Questions **What kind of outcomes can we expect from engaging in ITDR System Analysis?** Clients typically gain clarity, leadership alignment, and a measurable shift in preparedness through our ITDR System Analysis delivery, no matter their starting point. **What does the ITDR System Analysis discipline involve when delivered by Fixinc?** ITDR System Analysis at Fixinc is built to be clear, structured, and aligned with our Tungsten Diamond lifecycle.
