Requirements NIST SOURCE

Plan and prepare for circumstances that preclude returning to the primary processing site.

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

There may be situations that preclude an organization from returning to the primary processing site such as if a natural disaster (e.g., flood or a hurricane) damaged or destroyed a facility and it was determined that rebuilding in the same location was not prudent.

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-7(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. circumstances that preclude returning to the primary processing site are planned for;
  2. circumstances that preclude returning to the primary processing site are prepared for.

Examine

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

Interview

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

Overlays

STIGs & CCIs

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