Requirements NIST SOURCE

Coordinate the contingency plan with the contingency plans of external service providers to ensure that contingency requirements can be satisfied.

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

When the capability of an organization to carry out its mission and business functions is dependent on external service providers, developing a comprehensive and timely contingency plan may become more challenging. When mission and business functions are dependent on external service providers, organizations coordinate contingency planning activities with the external entities to ensure that the individual plans reflect the overall contingency needs of the organization.

Assessment

NIST SP 800-53A REV 5.2.0

Assessment Objectives

  1. the contingency plan is coordinated with the contingency plans of external service providers to ensure that contingency requirements can be satisfied.

Examine

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for CP-2(7). 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.
