- Approach to resilience
- Product is engineered with a resilience-first architecture aligned to the NCSC’s Asset Protection and Resilience principle. It employs redundant multi‑region Azure infrastructure, eliminating single points of failure and ensuring continuity during component outages. Automated failover mechanisms seamlessly redirect workloads when faults occur, while auto‑scaling maintains performance under fluctuating demand. Critical data benefits from geo‑redundant replication, protecting against data loss and regional disruption. Continuous health monitoring and proactive alerting via Azure Monitor and Application Insights enables early detection of anomalies to avoid service degradation. These controls support strong operational resilience and uphold asset availability. By combining redundancy, workload orchestration, high‑availability design patterns, and cloud‑native scalability, i‑ARM ensures essential governance, records management, and compliance functions remain reliable even under adverse conditions.
