+SC-47 Alternate Communications Paths

SC-47 Alternate Communications Paths

Control

Establish [Assignement: alternate communication paths] for system operations organizational command and control.

Discussion

An incident, whether adversarial- or nonadversarial-based, can disrupt established communications paths used for system operations and organizational command and control. Alternate communications paths reduce the risk of all communications paths being affected by the same incident. To compound the problem, the inability of organizational officials to obtain timely information about disruptions or to provide timely direction to operational elements after a communications path incident, can impact the ability of the organization to respond to such incidents in a timely manner. Establishing alternate communications paths for command and control purposes, including designating alternative decision makers if primary decision makers are unavailable and establishing the extent and limitations of their actions, can greatly facilitate the organization’s ability to continue to operate and take appropriate actions during an incident.

Assessment Objective

[Assignement: alternate communication paths] are established for system operations and operational command and control.

Assessment Method

Examine

System and communications protection policy procedures addressing communication paths system design documentation system configuration settings and associated documentation system audit records system security plan other relevant documents or records

Interview

System/network administrators organizational personnel with information security responsibilities system developers
