Requirements NIST SOURCE

Protect system components used for recovery and reconstitution.

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Protection of system recovery and reconstitution components (i.e., hardware, firmware, and software) includes physical and technical controls. Backup and restoration components used for recovery and reconstitution include router tables, compilers, and other system software.

Implementation Guidance

Engineering Interpretation

Original engineering commentary written for this explorer — not NIST source text and not authoritative guidance.

No engineering interpretation has been authored for CP-10(6) 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

NIST SP 800-53A REV 5.2.0

Assessment Objectives

  1. system components used for recovery and reconstitution are protected.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Contingency planning policy; procedures addressing system recovery and reconstitution; contingency plan; system design documentation; system configuration settings and associated documentation; logical access credentials; physical access credentials; logical access authorization records; physical access authorization records; system security plan; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with system recovery and reconstitution responsibilities; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities].

Test

[SELECT FROM: Organizational processes for protecting backup and restoration of hardware, firmware, and software; mechanisms supporting and/or implementing protection of backups and restoration of hardware, firmware, and software].

Overlays

OT/ICS Overlay SP 800-82r3

NIST SP 800-82r3 Appendix F, Table 22. Blank baseline means the control/control enhancement is not selected in that initial OT baseline.

LOW

  • Base control: Included (matches standard baseline)

MODERATE

  • Base control: Included (matches standard baseline)
  • Included: (2)
  • Added: (6)

HIGH

  • Base control: Included (matches standard baseline)
  • Included: (2) (4)
  • Added: (6)

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for CP-10(6). This section is architected to display, per product: STIG ID, Finding ID, Severity, Title, Description, Check, Fix, CCI, and NIST control mapping — but nothing is populated here until a real DISA STIG/CCI dataset is ingested.
