This article outlines the steps taken by our infrastructure partner to ensure security and provide disaster recovery. It’s a high-level overview taken from the comprehensive internal Disaster Recovery Plan managed by their DevOps team.
Insites is built on top of an infrastructure that has invested heavily in its Information Security Management System (ISMS) and built a comprehensive set of security policies and processes to protect your data and assets.
We currently provide the choice for you to deploy your websites, SaaS products, and applications on both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud hosting services (Azure is coming soon). We refer to their respective services when discussing specific aspects of security.
Learn more:
AWS Cloud Security: As an AWS partner, we ensure your sites and applications will benefit from AWS data centres and a network architected to protect your information, identities, applications, and devices. With AWS, we meet core security and compliance requirements, such as data locality, protection, and confidentiality with our comprehensive services and features.
Google Cloud Security: We take advantage of the same secure-by-design infrastructure, built-in protection, and global network that Google uses to protect your information, identities, applications, and devices.
We take steps to ensure that your code runs securely, with redundancy and backups, even in situations when clients are contractually obligated to host services on specific IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) providers.
Our infrastructure automatically backs up your applications and databases using real-time READ REPLICAs which exist across multiple Zones for further physical disaster recovery within a data centre. Additionally, incremental transaction logs, and daily and weekly backups are taken.
The retention period for monthly backups is 60 days. These processes are internal to our infrastructure platform's DevOps team.
For developers and Channel Partners building Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions on top of Insites, there are additional options for taking off-site backups and managing data removal.
Additional resources:
GDPR Compliance: Learn how our infrastructure platform approaches GDPR as just one of many compliance requirements and ensures that your project can easily comply with any number of government legislated privacy rules.
AWS Backup: AWS Backup is a fully managed backup service that makes it easy to centralize and automate the backup of data across AWS services.
Google Cloud Backups: How backups of your Cloud SQL instance work, and how they can be used to restore your data to the same or another instance.
We use application load balancers that are best suited for load balancing of HTTP and HTTPS traffic and provide advanced request routing targeted at the delivery of modern application architectures, including microservices and containers.
On AWS, operating at the individual request level (Layer 7), Application Load Balancer routes traffic to targets within Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) based on the content of the request. A similar approach is used with GCP, leveraging their various Global and Regional Load Balancing.
Behind the Load Balancers are clusters of application and database servers. These are both pooled or dedicated. Dedicated servers are purchased by clients who require a single tenant or additional server capacity for specific sites or application end-points, above and beyond the standard hosting plans.
Additional resources:
AWS Load Balancers: Learn about Application, Network, and Classic Load Balancers.
Google Cloud Load Balancing: High performance, scalable load balancing on Google Cloud Platform.
The infrastructure that Insites is built on implements a disaster recovery plan (DPR) that includes:
The overall disaster recovery strategy is summarized in the table below:
Data Center Disruption | Significant Dependency Disruption | Significant Network (or other) Issues |
---|---|---|
Failover to alternate Data Center. | Reroute core functions to backup/alternate zone. | Reroute operations to backup processing unit/service (load balancing, caching). |
Reroute core processes to another Data Center (without full failover). | Participate in recovery strategies as available. | Wait for service to be restored, and communicate with core stakeholders as needed. |
Operate at a deprecated service level. | Wait for the restoration of service, and provide communication as needed to stakeholders. | |
Take no action. |
A disaster recovery event can be broken out into three phases, the response, the resumption, and restoration:

Insites is built on top of an infrastructure platform that supports many global brands, including Intel, Hallmark, Spark.co.nz. These brands also perform rigorous 3rd party penetration testing and require specific best practices to be adhered to. We are proud to say that we are built on top of a platform that has an exceptional track record of over 5+ years of servicing these clients.
