What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 8 controls across 6 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

ISO 27001:2022 · 3 controls

  • 5.24 Information security incident management planning and preparation 
  • 5.29 Information security during disruption
  • 8.14 Redundancy of information processing facilities

CIS Controls v8 · 1 control

  • CIS-17.6 Define Mechanisms for Communicating During Incident Response

HIPAA Security Rule · 1 control

ISO 22301:2019 · 1 control

  • 8.3.2 Identification of strategies and solutions
  • NIST-CSF-PR.IR-03 Mechanisms are implemented to achieve resilience requirements in normal and adverse situations

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.

Other controls in CP - Contingency Planning

You are reading one control. How much of NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 have you already done?

NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 NIST800-CP-13 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 your existing evidence covers. Hold ISO 27001:2022 and 163 of 1014 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 342 were rejected on the ISO 27001:2022 pair alone.
