Data Backup and Recovery
-
Identify the locations, including all Custom Data stores, where data
backups must occur in order to meet recovery objectives. -
Create backups of production data stores on an ongoing basis, but in no
case less frequently than once a day. -
For the TPRM Workflow Platform, perform backups as follows:
- Incremental backups are performed hourly.
- Full backups are performed nightly.
- Nightly backups are retained for 30 days.
- Backups from the first of the month are kept for 12 months.
-
Backups from the first day of the year are kept for the length of
the contract. -
Within the TPRM Platform, backups and databases are deleted thirty
(30) days after contract termination. Backups are stored in an Azure
Storage account with soft delete enabled. Soft delete will store the
backups for an additional 15 days in a "deleted" state
allowing recovery of deleted files for that period, after which
Azure will permanently delete the data.
-
For the Global Risk Exchange, perform backups as follows:
- Continuous point in time recovery backups are performed
- Snapshots are taken daily, monthly, and annually.
- Daily backups are retained for 30 days.
- Monthly backups are retained for 12 months.
- Annual backups are retained indefinitely.
-
Due to the multi-tenant model employed by the Global Risk Exchange
there are no customer-specific backups. Customers may request
deletion of their data from the production database at any time.
Data deleted from the production database will age out of daily and
monthly backups in accordance with the retention schedules stated
above.
-
Regularly test data backup and recovery processes to ensure accuracy and
completeness on an ongoing basis, but in no case less frequently than
once quarterly. -
Ensure backups are stored in locations that are geographically diverse
from the primary location of the data. - Encrypt all backups to ensure information confidentiality.
-
Identify the locations, including all Custom Data stores, where data

result in a service interruption, loss, or other business continuity
event. -
Upon request, provide a summary of the Disaster Recovery and Business
Continuity Plan to Customer. -

to the Customer-designated representative a detailed report within ten
(10) business days of such restoration, including a description of all
Agreement-required service levels, products or services that were not
provided or only partially provided as a result of the business
continuity event; the specific corrective action taken; the material
effect, if any, on Customer; and whether or not the plan was adhered to
and, if not, what changes will be made to ensure future adherence to the
plan. -
