Overview
Business Continuity (BC) and Disaster Recovery (DR) plan, referred to as BCDR, is a set of practices which will be applied by Vansah in the face of adverse events or emergencies. BCDR encompasses both proactive measures (business continuity) and reactive measures (disaster recovery) to minimize the effects of outages and disruptions on business operations.

Recovery plan
Our platform’s design ensures constant real-time replication and copying, minimizing the risk of data loss. However, should a rare force majeure event occur, we have established a comprehensive procedure to address any potential loss of information.
In case of loss of information, the following procedures shall apply:
Inform Atlassian (Submit a critical incident ticket) and our clients, providing an assessment of the impact and detailing the actions taken.
Inform impacted clients who have been affected with the following report:
Data loss
Define possible resolutions.
Analysis of the problem
The security operators or system monitors identify an issue and swiftly analyze its potential impact on availability.
The responsible parties for Servers, Storage & Backup and networks will be contacted.
They take necessary measures to ensure the prompt resumption of services in the event of unavailability.
Recovery Process
In the event that the analysis of the incident reveals the need to activate the backup environment, immediate communication will be made to the affected clients. This communication will include an assessment of the potential loss, the planned measures to be taken, as well as an estimate of the impact and the expected recovery time.
