DR Validation & Automation for BIO-QMS Platform

Version: 1.0.0 Last Updated: 2026-02-16 Status: Active Classification: Internal Operations

Executive Summary

This document provides comprehensive disaster recovery (DR) validation and automation procedures for the BIO-QMS platform, a regulated SaaS system serving pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations. Given the platform's handling of FDA 21 CFR Part 11-regulated data, electronic signatures, and potentially Protected Health Information (PHI), DR validation must meet stringent compliance requirements while ensuring zero data loss in audit trails and signature chains.

DR Objectives:

• RPO (Recovery Point Objective): < 5 minutes for all data
• RTO (Recovery Time Objective): < 15 minutes for service restoration
• Audit Trail Integrity: 100% - zero tolerance for corruption
• Signature Chain Integrity: 100% - cryptographic validation required
• Compliance Evidence: Automated generation for SOC 2, FDA, HIPAA audits

Automation Coverage:

• Daily automated backup integrity verification (E.5.1)
• Monthly automated failover testing (E.5.2)
• Comprehensive failure mode runbooks (E.5.3)
• Chaos engineering for resilience validation (E.5.4)

E.5.1: Automated Backup Integrity Verification

Overview

Daily automated backup verification ensures that all backups are restorable and data integrity is maintained. This process runs every night at 02:00 UTC in the staging environment, validating the most recent production backup without impacting production operations.

Backup Integrity Verification Summary

The automated backup verification system provides:

1. Daily automated testing (02:00 UTC) of most recent production backup
2. Comprehensive validation:
   • Row count verification across all tables
   • Checksum validation for critical compliance tables
   • Referential integrity checks
   • Audit trail completeness and sequentiality
   • Electronic signature chain cryptographic validation
   • Database constraint verification
   • Index completeness
3. Cross-region backup verification to ensure disaster recovery across geographic regions
4. Automated alerting on any integrity failures
5. Weekly compliance reports in PDF format suitable for auditors
6. Evidence preservation in BigQuery and GCS for audit trail
7. RPO/RTO tracking with historical trend analysis

Next: E.5.2 - Automated Monthly Failover Testing
