Contingency Plan Policy

Draft 1.0

Issued TBD

Last Updated and Approved TBD

Purpose

Establish, maintain, and effectively implement a Contingency Plan for emergency response, backup operations, and post-disaster recovery for ZFM systems to ensure the availability of critical information resources and continuity of operations in emergency situations.

A security contingency is an event with the potential to disrupt operations, thereby disrupting mission critical functions. Such an event could be a power outage, hardware or software failure, software compromise (e.g., from malicious hacking, viruses, or worms), fire, or storm. Contingency planning and procedures are required to provide reasonable assurance that critical data processing support can be sustained or quickly restored if normal system operations are interrupted
