CP-04 [H] Contingency Plan Testing

Control

  1. Test the contingency plan for the system [Assignement: frequency] using the following tests to determine the effectiveness of the plan and the readiness to execute the plan: [Assignement: organization-defined tests].
  2. Review the contingency plan test results; and
  3. Initiate corrective actions, if needed.

Discussion

Methods for testing contingency plans to determine the effectiveness of the plans and identify potential weaknesses include checklists, walk-through and tabletop exercises, simulations (parallel or full interrupt), and comprehensive exercises. Organizations conduct testing based on the requirements in contingency plans and include a determination of the effects on organizational operations, assets, and individuals due to contingency operations. Organizations have flexibility and discretion in the breadth, depth, and timelines of corrective actions.

Assessment Objective

    1. the contingency plan for the system is tested [Assignement: frequency];
    2. [Assignement: tests] are used to determine the effectiveness of the plan;
    3. [Assignement: tests] are used to determine the readiness to execute the plan;
  2. the contingency plan test results are reviewed;
  3. corrective actions are initiated, if needed.

Assessment Method

CP-04(01) [H] Coordinate with Related Plans

Control

Coordinate contingency plan testing with organizational elements responsible for related plans.

Discussion

Plans related to contingency planning for organizational systems include Business Continuity Plans, Disaster Recovery Plans, Continuity of Operations Plans, Crisis Communications Plans, Critical Infrastructure Plans, Cyber Incident Response Plans, and Occupant Emergency Plans. Coordination of contingency plan testing does not require organizations to create organizational elements to handle related plans or to align such elements with specific plans. However, it does require that if such organizational elements are responsible for related plans, organizations coordinate with those elements.

Assessment Objective

contingency plan testing is coordinated with organizational elements responsible for related plans.

Assessment Method

Examine

Contingency planning policy incident response policy procedures addressing contingency plan testing contingency plan testing documentation contingency plan business continuity plans disaster recovery plans continuity of operations plans crisis communications plans critical infrastructure plans cyber incident response plans occupant emergency plans system security plan other relevant documents or records

CP-04(02) [H] Alternate Processing Site

Control

Test the contingency plan at the alternate processing site:
  1. To familiarize contingency personnel with the facility and available resources; and
  2. To evaluate the capabilities of the alternate processing site to support contingency operations.

Discussion

Conditions at the alternate processing site may be significantly different than the conditions at the primary site. Having the opportunity to visit the alternate site and experience the actual capabilities available at the site can provide valuable information on potential vulnerabilities that could affect essential organizational mission and business functions. The on-site visit can also provide an opportunity to refine the contingency plan to address the vulnerabilities discovered during testing.

Assessment Objective

  1. the contingency plan is tested at the alternate processing site to familiarize contingency personnel with the facility and available resources;
  2. the contingency plan is tested at the alternate processing site to evaluate the capabilities of the alternate processing site to support contingency operations.

Assessment Method

Examine
