Requirements NIST SOURCE

Provide an alternate power supply for the system that is activated [one of: manually; automatically] and that can maintain minimally required operational capability in the event of an extended loss of the primary power source.

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Provision of an alternate power supply with minimal operating capability can be satisfied by accessing a secondary commercial power supply or other external power supply.

Engineering Interpretation

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

No engineering interpretation has been authored for PE-11(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. one of the following PARAMETER VALUES is selected: {manually; automatically};
  2. an alternate power supply provided for the system is activated <PE-11(01)_ODP SELECTED PARAMETER VALUE>;
  3. the alternate power supply provided for the system can maintain minimally required operational capability in the event of an extended loss of the primary power source.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Physical and environmental protection policy; procedures addressing emergency power; alternate power supply; alternate power supply documentation; alternate power supply test records; system security plan; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with the responsibility for emergency power and/or planning; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities].

Test

[SELECT FROM: Mechanisms supporting and/or implementing an alternate power supply; the alternate power supply].

Overlays

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for PE-11(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.
