CP-09(03) Separate Storage for Critical Information

Control

Store backup copies of [Assignement: critical system software and other security-related information] in a separate facility or in a fire rated container that is not collocated with the operational system.

Discussion

Separate storage for critical information applies to all critical information regardless of the type of backup storage media. Critical system software includes operating systems, middleware, cryptographic key management systems, and intrusion detection systems. Security-related information includes inventories of system hardware, software, and firmware components. Alternate storage sites, including geographically distributed architectures, serve as separate storage facilities for organizations. Organizations may provide separate storage by implementing automated backup processes at alternative storage sites (e.g., data centers). The General Services Administration (GSA) establishes standards and specifications for security and fire rated containers.

Assessment Objective

backup copies of [Assignement: critical system software and other security-related information] are stored in a separate facility or in a fire rated container that is not collocated with the operational system.

Assessment Method

Examine

Contingency planning policy procedures addressing system backup contingency plan backup storage location(s) system backup configurations and associated documentation system backup logs or records system security plan other relevant documents or records

Interview
