Requirements NIST SOURCE

Configure the alternate storage site to facilitate recovery operations in accordance with recovery time and recovery point objectives.

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Organizations establish recovery time and recovery point objectives as part of contingency planning. Configuration of the alternate storage site includes physical facilities and the systems supporting recovery operations that ensure accessibility and correct execution.

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-6(2) 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. the alternate storage site is configured to facilitate recovery operations in accordance with recovery time objectives;
  2. the alternate storage site is configured to facilitate recovery operations in accordance with recovery point objectives.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Contingency planning policy; procedures addressing alternate storage sites; contingency plan; alternate storage site; alternate storage site agreements; alternate storage site configurations; system security plan; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with contingency plan testing responsibilities; organizational personnel with responsibilities for testing related plans; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities].

Test

[SELECT FROM: Organizational processes for contingency plan testing; mechanisms supporting recovery time and point objectives].
