Assessment Objective

Determine if:

• SA-08(24)[01] [Assignment: systems or system components] implement the security design principle of secure failure;
• SA-08(24)[02] [Assignment: systems or system components] implement the security design principle of secure recovery.

Assessment Methods

Examine

• System and services acquisition policy
• system and communications protection policy
• contingency planning policy
• procedures addressing information system recovery and reconstitution
• procedures addressing the security design principle of secure failure and recovery used in the specification, design, development, implementation, and modification of the system
• contingency plan
• procedures addressing system backup
• contingency plan test documentation
• contingency plan test results
• system design documentation
• security and privacy requirements and specifications for the system
• system security and privacy architecture
• system security plan
• other relevant documents or records

Interview

• Organizational personnel with the responsibility for determining system security and privacy requirements
• organizational personnel with system specification, design, development, implementation, and modification responsibilities
• organizational personnel with contingency plan testing responsibilities
• organizational personnel with system recovery and reconstitution responsibilities
• system developers
• organizational personnel with information security responsibilities
• organizational personnel with information system backup responsibilities

Test

• Organizational processes for applying the security design principle of secure failure and recovery in system specification, design, development, implementation, and modification
• mechanisms supporting the application of the security design principle of secure failure and recovery in system specification, design, development, implementation, and modification
• mechanisms supporting and/or implementing secure failure
• organizational processes for contingency plan testing
• mechanisms supporting contingency plan testing
• mechanisms supporting recovery and reconstitution of the system
• organizational processes for conducting system backups
• mechanisms supporting and/or implementing system backups
