Xoxoday conducts regular, structured tests on backup, rollback, and restore procedures as part of its Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity Planning (BCP) programme, overseen directly by the Group CTO.
How Xoxoday Tests Backup and Recovery Procedures
Xoxoday treats recoverability as an operational discipline, not a paper exercise. Regular test cycles cover three core procedures — backup validation, rollback execution, and full restore — to confirm that data can be recovered accurately and within defined timelines when a disruption occurs. Each test cycle is led by the Group CTO, ensuring executive ownership and full visibility across findings. This governance structure means recovery procedures are reviewed at the highest technical level, with outcomes fed directly into continuous improvements to Xoxoday’s DR and BCP frameworks.What the Tests Involve
Test scenarios are designed to simulate realistic failure conditions rather than idealised environments. Teams validate data recovery integrity — confirming that restored data matches the last known good state — and measure rollback timelines against predefined recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs). For enterprise customers integrating Xoxoday with platforms such as Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox, these tests extend to verifying that connected data flows and reward configurations can be restored without corruption or loss. This is particularly important in deployments where reward events are triggered by real-time HR system actions.Alignment with Security Standards
Xoxoday’s DR and BCP testing practices align with the requirements of ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. Both frameworks mandate that organisations not only maintain recovery procedures but demonstrate that those procedures are tested and proven effective. Xoxoday’s regular test cadence satisfies this requirement and produces documentation that holds up under formal audit scrutiny.Accessing Test Documentation
BCP Test Reports are available to customers and qualified prospects on request. These reports provide detailed insight into test methodologies, simulated scenarios, recorded outcomes, and any remediation actions taken. Security and procurement teams conducting vendor risk assessments can request this documentation as part of a formal due diligence process. Xoxoday’s commitment to tested recoverability reflects a core principle: security assurances carry weight only when they are regularly verified against real conditions, not assumed to hold from initial configuration alone.
