Cetbix conducts structured disaster recovery (DR) testing to validate that our platform and critical services can be restored within defined timeframes. Specific procedures include:
- Regular DR test cycles – Planned disaster recovery exercises are run periodically (typically at least annually, with smaller walk‑throughs or partial tests more frequently) to ensure that backup and recovery processes remain current.
- Scenario‑based failover tests – Simulated incidents such as data‑centre outages, infrastructure failures, or major service disruptions are used to test failover to backup systems and recovery of databases and application layers.
- RTO/RPO validation – During tests, Cetbix measures how long it takes to restore services (RTO) and how much data loss is acceptable (RPO), then uses those results to refine backup schedules, recovery playbooks, and resource allocation.
- Controlled‑environment execution – Tests are performed in isolated or non‑production environments where possible, to avoid impact on live customer workloads while still validating real‑world recovery steps.
- Documentation and post‑test reviews – All test steps, results, and any issues are recorded, and a formal review follows each test to update the disaster recovery plan, close gaps, and align with evolving infrastructure and threat models.
