Details

Threat
The integrity of an information system is dependent in large part on the ability to recover system data and functionality in a manner that guarantees its integrity and availability. The absence of trusted recovery mechanisms put the system at risk for data compromise, system software failure, or inability to properly execute mission-essential tasking.

Guidance
1. Recovery procedures and technical system features exist to ensure that recovery shall be done in a secure and verifiable manner. 2. Circumstances that can inhibit a trusted recovery shall be documented and appropriate mitigating procedures have been put in place. 3. Procedures and/or mechanisms shall be provided to assure that, after an ADP system failure or other discontinuity, recovery without a protection compromise is obtained.
