The successful activation of the Disaster Recovery Site over the course of a week confirms this.

The Central Securities Depository (DCV) successfully completed the scheduled activation of its Disaster Recovery Site (SRS), a platform located more than 1,000 kilometers from Santiago that was developed to maintain the operation of the services that support the financial market in the event of contingencies or disasters. The exercise involved all clients and entities connected to the services of the DCV and its subsidiaries and confirmed that operational volumes remained within historically expected ranges.

The production test took place from Monday, May 18, through Friday, May 22, during which time all services provided by DCV, DCV Registros, and DCV Asesorías y Servicios (DCV-AS) operated under the site activation plan. Performance remained stable throughout the operation from the alternate site, with no impact on service availability or customer support.

Specifically, there were 508 active users, compared to the average of 509 during operations from the main sites; and 144 clients were active, compared to the average of 148 over the last 12 weeks. Furthermore, no significant operational issues were observed, and network latency was optimal, averaging just 17 milliseconds.

During this strategic initiative, all the objectives set by DCV were achieved, a result that marks a new milestone in business continuity management. In addition to validating the digital infrastructure, it reinforces DCV’s position as a regional leader in technology, operations, and cybersecurity management, providing clients and the financial market with a high level of confidence and stability.

Collaborative work with DCV clients was essential to consolidating this achievement. These clients had previously participated in connectivity exercises and other aspects of this initiative, which made it possible to refine protocols and ensure smooth operations. This effort contributes significantly to the resilience of the capital market.

“This new site not only strengthens our resilience but also integrates into our regular operational plans, allowing us to manage critical events without significant disruptions for our customers”, said Guillermo Toro, DCV’s Technology and Cybersecurity Manager.

This site represents a new, viable operational alternative for DCV customers. In this context, a new testing period has been scheduled for the second half of this year, with the goal of continuing to strengthen adaptability and ensuring business continuity in the face of any eventuality.
