Scrut is committed to safeguarding customer data and ensuring uninterrupted business operations. Let’s take a closer look at our disaster recovery measures and data retention policy.
Designated Disaster Recovery Regions
At Scrut, we leverage AWS to host all our production environments. Each of our four primary production regions is paired with a designated Disaster Recovery (DR) region, thus ensuring localization of data. This proactive strategy ensures your critical data is shielded against unexpected events and movement is restricted to these two regions.
Primary Prod Region | Designated DR Region | |
|---|---|---|
1 | ap-south-1 (Mumbai) | ap-south-2 (Hyderabad) |
2 | us-east-2 (Ohio) | us-west-1 (N. California) |
3 | eu-north-1 (Stockholm) | eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) |
4 | ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) | ap-southeast-4 (Melbourne) |
Our backup strategy covers all essential AWS resources, including databases, storage, authentication systems, and configuration data. Additionally, our production environments are isolated from development and staging environments, further elevating security.
Data Retention Policy
Scrut maintains all customer data for a period of one year. We maintain a 35-day active backup window that allows for quick data restoration using our dedicated restoration scripts. This active window ensures minimal downtime if you need recent data recovered.
Data older than 35 days resides in cold storage and requires additional processing time for retrieval. After the one-year retention period expires, data is permanently deleted from our systems following our data lifecycle management practices.
