NIST Special Publication 800-34 Contingency Planning Guide for Federal Information Systems Revision 1

This is a Hard copy of the NIST Special Publication 800-34, Contingency Planning Guide for Federal Information Systems Revision 1. This publication assists organizations in understanding the purpose, process, and format of ISCP development through practical, real-world guidelines. While the principles establish a baseline to meet most organizational needs, it is recognized that each organization may have additional requirements specific to its own operating environment. This guidance document provides background information on interrelationships between information system contingency planning and other types of security and emergency management-related contingency plans, organizational resiliency, and the system development life cycle (SDLC). The document provides guidance to help personnel evaluate information systems and operations to determine contingency planning requirements and priorities. Requirements from FIPS 199, Standards for Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems, security impact levels, and NIST Special Publication 800-53, Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations contingency planning controls are integrated throughout the guideline. Considerations for impact levels and associated security controls for contingency planning are presented to assist planners in developing the appropriate contingency planning strategy. Although the information presented in this document is largely independent of particular hardware platforms, operating systems, and applications, technical considerations specific to common information system platforms are addressed.
