Operational

>Control Description

CONTINGENCY PLAN TESTING | AUTOMATED TESTING The organization employs automated mechanisms to more thoroughly and effectively test the contingency plan.

>Supplemental Guidance

Automated mechanisms provide more thorough and effective testing of contingency plans, for example: (i) by providing more complete coverage of contingency issues; (ii) by selecting more realistic test scenarios and environments; and (iii) by effectively stressing the information system and supported missions.

>Tailoring Guidance

This security control/enhancement specifies the use of an automated mechanism. While there are obvious benefits to the use of such mechanisms, in most cases the use of manual mechanisms will suffice.
