Organizational Control: Information System Recovery And Reconstitution

Control ID: CP-10 Information System Recovery And Reconstitution Family: Contingency Planning Source: NIST 800-53r4
Control: The organization provides for the recovery and reconstitution of the information system to a known state after a disruption, compromise, or failure.
Supplemental Guidance:
Recovery is executing information system contingency plan activities to restore organizational missions/business functions. Reconstitution takes place following recovery and includes activities for returning organizational information systems to fully operational states. Recovery and reconstitution operations reflect mission and business priorities, recovery point/time and reconstitution objectives, and established organizational metrics consistent with contingency plan requirements. Reconstitution includes the deactivation of any interim information system capabilities that may have been needed during recovery operations. Reconstitution also includes assessments of fully restored information system capabilities, reestablishment of continuous monitoring activities, potential information system reauthorizations, and activities to prepare the systems against future disruptions, compromises, or failures. Recovery/reconstitution capabilities employed by organizations can include both automated mechanisms and manual procedures.

Control Enhancements:
(2) Information System Recovery And Reconstitution | Transaction Recovery
The information system implements transaction recovery for systems that are transaction-based.
Supplemental Guidance: Transaction-based information systems include, for example, database management systems and transaction processing systems. Mechanisms supporting transaction recovery include, for example, transaction rollback and transaction journaling.
Related Controls: N/A

(3) Information System Recovery And Reconstitution | Restore Within Time Period
The organization provides the capability to restore information system components within [Assignment: organization-defined restoration time-periods] from configuration-controlled and integrity-protected information representing a known, operational state for the components.
Supplemental Guidance: Restoration of information system components includes, for example, reimaging which restores components to known, operational states.
