## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do we begin working with Fixinc?

Start with an initial consultation to understand needs and objectives through a 45-minute discovery call. This is followed by a digital proposal outlining recommended services, approach, timeframes, and investment required. A detailed project plan is developed based on agreed priorities. Once signed, an engagement meeting is conducted within a 4-week window, and the program begins.

### How do you ensure program adoption across the organisation?

A combination of engagement strategies is used, including stakeholder workshops, training sessions, communication campaigns, and practical exercises to build awareness and capability across all levels. Relationships are built with key team members through email campaigns, one-on-one meetings, and connecting through professional networks to build trust and uncover issues or ideas.

### What happens after the initial engagement is complete?

Fixinc maintains connection through the Loyalty Program and Maintenance model, reviewing evolving risks and making ongoing improvements so resilience remains future-proof.

### Do you provide ongoing support after the program is implemented?

Yes, and it is the core service offering outcome. Fixinc seeks to build lifelong partnerships with individuals and organisations. This allows deep integration into the organisation's fabric and threat landscape, building relationships where support is always available, and holding accountability to ensure resilience capability continuously grows.

### How quickly can you start working with us?

Depending on scope, discovery and implementation can begin within 1-2 weeks. For urgent validation activities or crisis support, mobilisation can happen even faster.

### What kind of outcomes can we expect from your services?

Clear documentation, trained teams, and validated plans. Beyond that, confidence in programs and real-world readiness across people, processes, and systems.

### What makes Fixinc different from other resilience solutions?

The simplicity of programs. Many organisations are led to believe that the threat landscape is evolving at an unprecedented rate, but this creates fear through marketing without legitimate data. Resilience can be a simple, modern skill developed through building a culture of resilience and removing the noise of bulky plans and poor technology.

### What information do you need from us to get started?

Initially, understanding of current resilience capabilities, regulatory obligations, key risks, and strategic objectives. A detailed information request is provided once scope of engagement is agreed via the client portal.

### How long does it take for a program to be rolled out?

The team focuses heavily on streamlined project management processes using proprietary technology to create implementation plans that make every step seamless. External factors like scheduling team meetings may impact time, but techniques are available to speed this up. Typically, a single program can take between 5 weeks and 3 months.

### Do you offer one-off services or long-term programs?

Fixinc specialises in long-term resilience through the Maintenance Program, but also offers short-term engagements. Most clients begin with a single service and scale into a full partnership.

### What makes Fixinc different from traditional consulting firms?

Not a tick-box consultancy. Fixinc combines deep industry experience with modern, technology-enabled tools to deliver practical, scalable resilience programs. No bloated teams, no unnecessary delays, just results.

### How much does a typical program cost?

In most cases, programs start from $10,000 AUD. However, reviews can be as little as a few thousand. After establishing a scope of work and requirements, an initial quote can be provided within the same day of enquiry. Fixinc believes in long-term partnerships, so if budgets are a restraint, flexible arrangements can be discussed.
