Restore Within Time Period
LOW MODERATE ✓ HIGHRequirements NIST SOURCE
Provide the capability to restore system components within [restoration time periods] from configuration-controlled and integrity-protected information representing a known, operational state for the components.
Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)
Restoration of system components includes reimaging, which restores the components to known, operational states.
Implementation Guidance

No engineering interpretation has been authored for CP-10(4) yet. This section is architected to receive it — see the Requirements and Assessment sections above for the authoritative NIST source content in the meantime.
Assessment
Assessment Objectives
- restoration time period within which to restore system components to a known, operational state is defined;
- the capability to restore system components within <CP-10(04)_ODP restoration time periods> from configuration-controlled and integrity-protected information representing a known, operational state for the components is provided.
