CCI-001328

If system component failures are detected, activate an organization-defined alarm, automatically shut down the system, and/or organization-defined action.

Implementation Guidance

Determine if [SI-13(04)_ODP[02]; one or more of the following PARAMETER VALUES is/are selected: {activate [SI-13(04)_ODP[03]; alarm to be activated when system component failures are detected is defined (if selected)]; automatically shut down the system; [SI-13(04)_ODP[04]; action to be taken when system component failures are detected is defined (if selected)]}] are performed if system component failures are detected.

Validation Procedures

Examine: [SELECT FROM: System and information integrity policy; system and information integrity procedures; procedures addressing predictable failure prevention; system design documentation; system configuration settings and associated documentation; list of actions to be taken once system component failure is detected; system audit records; system security plan; other relevant documents or records]. Interview: [SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel responsible for MTTF activities; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities; system/network administrators; organizational personnel with contingency planning responsibilities]. Test: [SELECT FROM: Organizational processes for managing MTTF; automated mechanisms supporting and/or implementing the transparent installation of standby components; automated mechanisms supporting and/or implementing alarms or system shutdown if component failures are detected].
