Replication and failover sync
None of the held texts sets a fixed period on this consumer; every row below reads no period set by the text. Paste one job that feeds this consumer, for example dr_replication_sync, weekly, and the register reads its period against the clocks below, names the gap in hours, and carries the question for its owner.
Matched on the job name or the consumer column by these words: replicat, sync to dr, dr sync, mirror, geo redundan, failover sync, standby sync, replication. A backup, replication, feed or return job in this class is expected to name a fallback; a blank one is a finding.

Questions this page answers
How often does ISO/IEC 27001:2022 require replication and failover sync?
The held text of ISO 27001 8.14 (Redundancy of information processing facilities) sets no fixed period: no period set by the text. Build enough redundancy into processing facilities to meet availability requirements.
How often does DORA (Regulation (EU) 2022/2554) require replication and failover sync?
The held text of DORA Art. 12 (Backup policies and procedures, restoration and recovery) sets no fixed period: no period set by the text. Financial entities shall develop and document backup policies and procedures, and restoration and recovery procedures and methods, ensuring backups can be restored with minimal disruption, with backup systems physically and logically segregated from the source system.
How often does HIPAA Security Rule require replication and failover sync?
The held text of HIPAA 164.308(a)(7)(ii)(B) (Disaster Recovery Plan (Required)) sets no fixed period: no period set by the text. Establish procedures to restore lost data and resume operations. NIST recommends documented recovery procedures, alternate site arrangements, and aligned dependencies.
How often does ISO 22301:2019 require replication and failover sync?
The held text of ISO 22301 8.4.5 (Recovery) sets no fixed period: no period set by the text. Maintain documented processes to restore and return business activities from the temporary measures adopted during and after a disruption.
What does the register ask the owner of a replication and failover sync job?
How far behind is the standby allowed to fall, and what happens to this feed when the primary is lost?
The clauses in full
Build enough redundancy into processing facilities to meet availability requirements.
Guidance beside it, ISO 27002 8.14: Requires information processing facilities to be implemented with redundancy sufficient to meet the availability requirements placed on them.
What an assessor asks to see: redundancy_design; capacity_planning; failover_testing; maintenance_records. Where it usually falls short: reliance on undocumented manual backups
Financial entities shall develop and document backup policies and procedures, and restoration and recovery procedures and methods, ensuring backups can be restored with minimal disruption, with backup systems physically and logically segregated from the source system.
What an assessor asks to see: Backup and restoration policies/procedures; Evidence of segregated backups and restoration tests. Where it usually falls short: No tested backups
Establish procedures to restore lost data and resume operations. NIST recommends documented recovery procedures, alternate site arrangements, and aligned dependencies.
What an assessor asks to see: DR plan; Alternate site contracts; Recovery runbooks; Dependency map. Where it usually falls short: Alternate site capacity insufficient
Maintain documented processes to restore and return business activities from the temporary measures adopted during and after a disruption.
What an assessor asks to see: Documented restoration and return to normal processes; Criteria for deciding that temporary measures can be withdrawn; Evidence of use, from exercises or real events, including backlog clearance. Where it usually falls short: Recovery treated as implicit once the incident is closed, with no process behind it
