# DIREKT Disaster Recovery

## Scenarios

Database loss/corruption, storage loss, cloud/account outage, credential compromise, destructive deployment and regional dependency failure.

## Priorities

1. protect people and prevent fraudulent trust/payment actions;
2. preserve evidence/audit;
3. restore authentication and public safety state;
4. restore discovery/enquiries;
5. restore commercial/reporting.

## Activation

Incident commander declares DR, freezes risky writes, selects recovery point, verifies backups and communicates status.

## Recovery

Provision isolated environment, restore database/storage/configuration, rotate secrets, validate integrity, test critical flows, switch traffic, monitor and reconcile events after recovery point.

## Exercises

Before pilot and periodically. Record actual RPO/RTO, missing assets, permissions and corrective actions.
