Alternative Processing Site

n/a

(A) The organization establishes an alternate processing site including necessary agreements to permit the transfer and resumption of organization-defined information system operations for essential missions/business functions within organization-defined time period consistent with recovery time and recovery point objectives when the primary processing capabilities are unavailable. (B) The organization ensures that equipment and supplies required to transfer and resume operations are available at the alternate processing site or contracts are in place to support delivery to the site within the organization-defined time period for transfer/resumption. (C) The organization ensures that the alternate processing site provides information security safeguards equivalent to that of the primary site.

Recovery

Regularly perform and test data back-ups.

Customer

The customer is responsible for implementing this requirement.

Backups are used to recover data in the event of a hardware or software failure. Backups should be performed and tested regularly based on an organizational defined frequency.

Recovery

Regularly perform complete, comprehensive and resilient data backups as organizationally-defined.

Customer

The customer is responsible for implementing this requirement.

The processes and tools used to properly back up critical information with a proven methodology for timely recovery of it. When attackers compromise machines, they often make significant changes to configurations and software. Sometimes attackers also make subtle alterations of data stored on compromised machines, potentially jeopardizing organizational effectiveness with polluted data. When the attackers are discovered, it can be extremely difficult for organizations without a trustworthy data recovery capability to remove all aspects of the attacker’s presence on the machine. This practice is based on the following CIS controls: 10.1 Ensure that all system data is automatically backed up on a regular basis. 10.2 Ensure that all of the organization’s key systems are backed up as a complete system, through processes such as imaging, to enable the quick recovery of an entire system. 10.5 Ensure that all backups have at least one offline (i.e., not accessible via a network connection) backup destination.

Alternate Processing Site

Shared

n/a

The organization: a. Establishes an alternate processing site including necessary agreements to permit the transfer and resumption of [Assignment: organization-defined information system operations] for essential missions/business functions within [Assignment: organization-defined time period consistent with recovery time and recovery point objectives] when the primary processing capabilities are unavailable; b. Ensures that equipment and supplies required to transfer and resume operations are available at the alternate processing site or contracts are in place to support delivery to the site within the organization-defined time period for transfer/resumption; and c. Ensures that the alternate processing site provides information security safeguards equivalent to that of the primary site. Supplemental Guidance: Alternate processing sites are sites that are geographically distinct from primary processing sites. An alternate processing site provides processing capability in the event that the primary processing site is not available. Items covered by alternate processing site agreements include, for example, environmental conditions at alternate sites, access rules, physical and environmental protection requirements, and coordination for the transfer/assignment of personnel. Requirements are specifically allocated to alternate processing sites that reflect the requirements in contingency plans to maintain essential missions/business functions despite disruption, compromise, or failure in organizational information systems. Related controls: CP-2, CP-6, CP-8, CP-9, CP-10, MA-6. References: NIST Special Publication 800-34.
