Check content

Review disaster recovery/continuity plans. For high risk applications, verify the disaster plan exists and provides for the smooth transfer of all mission or business essential functions to an alternate site for the duration of an event with little or no loss of operational continuity. For moderate risk applications, verify the disaster recovery/continuity plan exists and provides for the resumption of mission or business essential functions within 24 hours activation. For low risk applications, verify the disaster recovery/continuity plan exists and provides for the partial resumption of mission or business essential functions within 5 days of activation. If the disaster recovery/continuity plan does not exist or does not meet the severity level requirements, this is a finding.
