Requirements NIST SOURCE

Incorporate simulated events into contingency training to facilitate effective response by personnel in crisis situations.

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

The use of simulated events creates an environment for personnel to experience actual threat events, including cyber-attacks that disable websites, ransomware attacks that encrypt organizational data on servers, hurricanes that damage or destroy organizational facilities, or hardware or software failures.

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-3(1) 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. simulated events are incorporated into contingency training to facilitate effective response by personnel in crisis situations.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Contingency planning policy; procedures addressing contingency training; contingency plan; contingency training curriculum; contingency training material; system security plan; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with contingency planning, plan implementation, and training responsibilities; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities].

Test

[SELECT FROM: Organizational processes for contingency training; mechanisms for simulating contingency events].

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for CP-3(1). 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.
