Data & Photos Backup, Storage, and Recovery Process

💾 Our program leverages AWS-native resiliency for the Veonics® Portal and a Datto business continuity platform for on-premises systems.

Front-End Application: AWS performs infrastructure-level backups, snapshots, and availability zone redundancy.
Database & Photos: All Veonics® Portal data and badge photos are replicated and backed up within the AWS environment.
Security: Data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Backups inherit AWS’s SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST-aligned controls.

On-Premises Backup: Local hard drive appliance stores daily encrypted snapshots of eXpress badging® internal systems.
Off-Premises Cloud Backup: Encrypted replicas are transmitted to Datto’s secure cloud.
Recovery Assurance: Datto provides rapid restore testing and verification via its platform.

System Backups Performed: Yes, AWS-native and Datto backups cover production systems, customer data, and badge photos.
Policy for Production Data: Yes, documented procedures ensure consistent backups and tested restoration.
Disaster Protection: Yes, backups are replicated offsite in secure AWS and Datto cloud environments to ensure continuity in the event of a site-level disaster.
Backup Media Stored Offsite: Yes, via encrypted Datto cloud and AWS infrastructure; no physical transport is required.
Secure Transport: All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256).
Verification of Receipt: Yes, Datto and AWS systems generate automated logs and confirmations for backup and restore activities.

Tested Restores: Backups are restored during periodic reviews as part of our vulnerability management and business continuity testing.
Recovery Point Objective (RPO): Measured in hours, ensuring minimal data loss.
Recovery Time Objective (RTO): Restoration of critical systems typically within 24 hours, depending on incident severity.
Accountability: Technical Operations is responsible for initiating and validating recovery processes, reviewed by management under EOS governance.

NIST Function	Backup & Recovery Practices
🆔 Identify	Scoped systems and data defined (Portal DB, badge photos, local network).
🛡️ Protect	Encrypted backups (AWS & Datto) prevent unauthorized access.
🔎 Detect	Automated monitoring confirms backup success/failure.
🚨 Respond	Documented restoration procedures executed upon incident.
🔄 Recover	Rapid recovery via Datto cloud restores and AWS redundancy.
⚖️ Govern	Policy reviewed by leadership; ownership assigned to Technical Operations Lead.

Yes — system backups are performed using both AWS and Datto.
Yes — we have a documented backup & recovery policy for production systems.
Yes — backups are securely stored offsite, encrypted, and verified.
No manual transport required; modern secure cloud replication eliminates old risks.
Recovery processes are tested quarterly, ensuring readiness.
