CCI-002774

Defines the failure conditions which, when they occur, will result in the information system implementing organization-defined fail-safe procedures.

Implementation Guidance

Determine if [SI-17_ODP[01]; fail-safe procedures associated with failure conditions are defined] are implemented when [SI-17_ODP[02]; a list of failure conditions requiring fail-safe procedures is defined] occur.

Validation Procedures

Examine: [SELECT FROM: System and information integrity policy; system and information integrity procedures; documentation addressing fail-safe procedures for the system; system design documentation; system configuration settings and associated documentation; list of security safeguards protecting the system memory from unauthorized code execution; system audit records; system security plan; other relevant documents or records]. Interview: [SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel responsible for fail-safe procedures; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities; system/network administrators; system developer]. Test: [SELECT FROM: Organizational fail-safe procedures; automated mechanisms supporting and/or implementing fail-safe procedures].
