Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
DataFabricX is designed as a scalable content, integration and automation platform that connects multiple business systems and handles document processing workloads.
It can be deployed in cloud, on‑premises or hybrid environments, which gives customers control over the hosting environment, capacity and infrastructure.

Deployment choice controls performance environment
Choosing cloud versus on‑premises or hybrid lets an organisation define the underlying infrastructure that supports the platform. This is an important mechanism for performance isolation at the organisational level because you control sizing and resource allocation.

2. Standard enterprise horizontal scalability
Nodes/servers can be added to support increased workloads. Horizontal scaling can mitigate the “noisy neighbour” effect where one customer’s load affects another’s, provided the infrastructure has been appropriately scaled and configured.

3. Customer control over resource provisioning
Because DataFabricX can run in a customer‑managed environment, an organisation can allocate dedicated compute resources (VMs, containers, memory/CPU pools) to ensure that peaks in document processing or AI tasks do not interfere with other workloads.

4. Operational logging and alerting
The platform includes audit logging and metadata tracking which can be used to monitor activity levels and identify heavy usage patterns.

Organisations can build their own monitoring and operational alerts to detect resource contention.
Approach to resilience
DataFabricX’s performance and demand resilience is derived through deployment configuration and infrastructure provisioning rather than published per‑user performance guarantees. Organisations choose a deployment model (cloud, on‑premises, hybrid) and size compute resources to match operational demand. The platform logs activity centrally, allowing monitoring of usage patterns that can help diagnose contention.

Organisations commonly:
Specify performance requirements in contract terms, including throughput, latency and resource isolation expectations.

Request vendor clarification on how capacity planning and performance isolation are supported.

Define environment sizing standards based on peak load forecasts.

Include monitoring and alerting needs as part of operational dashboards
Outage reporting
Service monitoring

DataFabricX includes audit and operational logs that track workflow execution, system events, and API/connector activity.

These logs provide visibility into failures or errors in processing but are primarily focused on workflow, document, and integration events rather than platform-wide uptime notifications.

Customer support during normal hours

DataFabricX’s support model includes standard customer support during normal business hours, in line with the supplier’s support policy.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
DataFabricX maintains governance over system configurations and workflows through its platform architecture and operational controls. Components such as connectors, modules, and APIs are versioned and tracked within the customer’s deployment environment (cloud, on‑premises, or hybrid), and all workflow and document processing actions are captured via audit logs to provide traceability across the system lifecycle. Role‑based access controls and permissions restrict who can make configuration changes.
Vulnerability management type
Undisclosed
Vulnerability management approach
DataFabricX implements security measures across its platform, including audit logging, role-based access controls, and PII detection to provide operational visibility and governance. Publicly available information does not describe a formal vulnerability management process, specific threat assessment procedures, or patch deployment timelines. Threat intelligence sources and formal vulnerability scanning or penetration testing processes are also not publicly documented. Customers are advised to confirm with DataFabricX how vulnerabilities are identified, assessed for potential impact, and remediated, including patching timelines and the sources of threat intelligence, to satisfy organisational and public sector security requirements.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
Audit Logging
DataFabricX maintains forensic audit logs that record user activity, document access, workflow actions, and API interactions.

These logs capture metadata such as user identity, timestamp, action performed, and any changes made, providing traceability across workflows and document processing events.

Operational Activity Monitoring
The platform provides activity monitoring for workflows and data processing, including document lifecycle events.
These logs allow administrators to detect unusual or potentially anomalous activity, supporting governance and compliance objectives.

Audit Trails Across Workflows
The system captures immutable audit trails for workflows, document processing, and integration events.
Incident management type
Undisclosed
Incident management approach
The platform includes audit logs and workflow event tracking, which provide the ability to review events and trace actions, but these are system monitoring features rather than formally published incident response processes.
