How to configure and resolve Sprinto workflow check for disaster recovery

A disaster recovery exercise is a carefully planned simulation designed to evaluate how well an organization can respond and recover from possible disasters or disruptions. Through this Sprinto workflow check, we aim to verify the effectiveness of the organization's disaster recovery plan and policies, ensuring they align with compliance requirements.

Before you begin

Log in on Sprinto as administrator.

Configuring workflow check

Important: If Sprinto has already activated the following workflow check as a security complaince requirement of your chosen compliance framework, you may proceed to the Resolving Workflow Check section.

  1. Go to Security Hub > Workflow Checks.

  2. Click on Add Workflow Check.

  3. Locate Disaster Recovery in the workflow checklist, and click Enable.

  4. On the Add Workflow Check page, click Edit to adjust the check frequency and assign personnel or configure an evidence reviewer if necessary.

  5. Note: The default frequency for the workflow check is every twelve months. You can customize the frequency as per your requirements.

  6. Click Enable check.

Resolving Workflow Check

Once the check is activated, it will be in a "Due/Critical/Failing" status. To successfully pass the following workflow check, relevant evidence must be uploaded. Once the evidence is uploaded, the check status gets updated to "Passing."

Evidence: To fulfill this Sprinto check, submit a comprehensive report detailing the organization's Disaster Recovery activity, emphasizing the activity's scope, prerequisites, and executed recovery plan.

Use the provided Sprinto template within the check for evidence upload or, if preferred, upload your own template to meet the check requirements efficiently.

  • Log in to the Sprinto Admin portal and go to Security Hub > Workflow Checks > Active.

  • Select the Disaster Recovery check.

  • Click Upload Evidence.

  • In the Add evidence for the check section, choose your preferred option:

    • Use built-in template: Utilize the ready-to-use template by replacing placeholders with your details. If needed, customize the template content. Select the activity completion date and input the name of the staff member who performed the activity.

    • Manually upload evidence: Upload the disaster recovery activity report directly from your computer. You can either upload the file or provide a shareable link for a cloud-stored file.

  • Finally, click Preview process evidence / Save to complete the check resolution for the current cycle.

Please contact Sprinto support if you need any assistance on the workflow check.
