Recent market and social events have demonstrated that it’s not if, but when an incident will occur that impacts your business operations. While a cyber-attack will most likely be the cause, we’ve also seen pandemics, civil emergencies, hardware failure, human-error, and power outages as triggers for significant events.
Waikato-based Hansa is a market-leading specialist in the design and manufacture of high-quality chipping and shredding equipment. Founded by Manfred Vogel, who built Hansa’s first chipper in 1981, the company now has a team of 55 people and exports about 65% of its machinery to Australia and Europe.
Hansa relies significantly on IT for its operations, and aspects such as remote access for its global team and cybersecurity play a huge factor. When Hansa went to market to look for a new IT support provider, a primary consideration was a dependable Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) solution. This stemmed from their first-hand experience with a previous crypto virus attack.
At 4:19 pm on February 12, 2022, a fire erupted at Hansa's manufacturing facility due to a malfunctioning printer on one of their workbenches. In just 3 minutes, the flames rapidly spread, resulting in substantial damage to their workshop. Hear how IT Partners supported them during this disruptive time.
