Crisis Management

You never want to assume the worst will happen to your business - somehow just thinking it seems like it will bring upon some kind of horrible disaster. However, being prepared for the worst situation will help you deal with all of the small crises that arise throughout the year. An ever-important part of your public relations department, our crisis management team will help you come up with, implement and run through disaster plans, security audits, crisis scenarios, plans for rebuilding, press releases and plans to help mitigate your risk for disaster so all potential threats are safely dealt with before they have a chance to do serious damage to your company.

Crisis management can be broken down into many categories, but there are four main ones that we focus on here at Ultra Tech. We think that honing your skills ensures that you offer expert advice to absolutely every company you deal with, and everything else will subsequently fall into place. We provide excellent services and make sure that you are 100% covered when it comes to any and all possible crises.

Technological Crises: A technological crisis, in this day and age, can happen truly at any time. Technological disasters can be categorized either as loss, manipulation or destruction of data and also includes the use of technology by human error in order to create a disaster. Getting ahead of a technological disaster is not hard but it does require a good grasp of the digital world, something that we have in ample forms at Ultra Tech. We can help you recover from a technological crisis through a deep knowledge and understanding of the tech world.

Organizational Misdeeds: Having a disaster bubble up due to mismanagement, workplace harassment, confrontations within departments or any other situation involving your employees is less than ideal. How do you deal with a crisis that starts from within? Have our experts analyze your current procedures to see where you could be doing better. We work closely with your human resources and public relations teams to determine how and when you need to step in when you know there is malevolent activity happening within your walls.

Natural or Man-made Disasters: If you live in an area prone to natural disasters, you need to absolutely ensure that you have a plan for when an earthquake, tornado, volcano, storm, hurricane or any other force of nature occurs. We can help your teams run through potential disaster scenarios quarterly in order to ensure that all of your employees know what to do in an emergency. Knowing their roles makes it easier to control the situation when disaster strikes. Man-made disaster such as terrorist attacks happen less frequently but it helps to have a plan of action before you are thrust into a situation where you need to deal with one.

Breach of Information: We understand that you want your company's information kept private - especially if you're dealing with intrusive competitors or if you're working on "the next big thing" in your area of expertise. Whether you're infiltrated by a competitor or you have a whistleblower on your hands, we'll help you trace the leaked information back to the source and help you deal with the situation from there. Having a game plan helps you keep yourself on track and shut down bad situations before they become bigger than they need to be.

Bounce Back From Disaster

Diagnosis

We run a comprehensive scan of all areas of your business - this can happen before, during or after a crisis situation. In the case that you're running it beforehand, we try to pick up on any behaviour, patterns or possible threats that could affect your business and derail your organization. If we're performing the analysis during or after the fact, we're looking for areas we need to rebuild, press releases that need to go out or employees that need to be terminated. Once we've found any and all damage, we give you a diagnosis as well as a specific level of destruction that we think your company has endured - the higher the level, the more work it will take to restore your company.

Strategy

The diagnosis is only the first step of three. It gives us a very detailed overview of what has happened to your company, who was involved, how it happened, where it took place and when specifically the events occurred. If you're simply running a preliminary disaster assessment, we'll identify potential threats and work off of your risk factor. After we put together a comprehensive report, we go into putting together a strategy that will outline how to proceed after your crisis situation, or we'll detailed description of how to handle a potential emergency or imminent threat. The strategy will help you implement important changes that will help prevent crises.

Utilization

Actually using your new plan is the last piece of our puzzle. It all happens very quickly, sometimes in a disaster situation you need to respond to a threat in seconds, minutes or hours. However, the experts at Ultra Tech are here to help you make those decisions. Our team of crisis and disaster specialists focus on pointing out potential areas of weakness, eradicating threats, mitigating risk and ultimately bringing your company back from a small, medium or large disaster. Putting your plan into motion will help you take those first couple of steps towards getting your company back on the right foot in order to move forward and continue putting in the hard work needed to flourish.
