Resilience & Failover Readiness Verification
Standing quarterly operator workflow that verifies alternate storage, alternate processing, and diverse telecommunications capability (UC-BCDR-04) and validates the safe-mode, alternate-communications, and alternate-security-mechanism design configured on critical systems (UC-BCDR-11). Each quarterly instance runs against the EXISTING UC-BCDR-04 alternate-capability Control item in the Control library (frequency quarterly), with the UC-BCDR-11 degraded-mode Control item linked as the second in-scope control — it enriches the evidence trail on those existing controls, never creating a duplicate control. Self-originating: it consumes no upstream workflow handoff, reading the two governing Control items (control_id UC-BCDR-04 and UC-BCDR-11), the prior quarter's archived readiness instance, and the open corrective-action Issues carried forward on those controls; all operational reference data (backup schedule, alternate-site media/replication log, site records, telecom inventory, system design specs and configs) enters as PBC uploads on the verifying step, since none of it is item-typed. In scope: confirming that this alternate capability and degraded-mode design remain current, hazard-separated, secured to primary-site parity, and ready to assume operations within RTO. Out of scope: the live failover exercise that actually cuts over to the alternate site, run separately by the assure-line DR test workflow that consumes the readiness state this workflow maintains. Named deliverables: six verification memos (storage-site, processing-capability, telecom, safe-mode, alternate-communications, alternate-security), a readiness dashboard and a signed readiness summary, and a corrective-action register — every gap converts into an owned corrective-action Issue (issue_type: deficiency, source: self_assessment) linked to the impaired Control, with any recovery-time-impacting gap escalated immediately rather than held for end-of-cycle closure. Downstream handoff: the archived readiness summary and dashboard serve as the readiness-state package the assure-line DR test workflow reads (no terminal handoff node exists yet — see the closure step).
