SOC 2 SOC2-CC7.5: CC7.5 Recovering from security incidents

Recovery work after an identified security incident is identified, developed and carried out. Points of focus: the affected environment is returned to working order by rebuilding systems, updating software, patching and reconfiguring; the nature of the incident, recovery steps and prevention measures are communicated internally and externally as appropriate; the root cause is found; architecture or preventive and detective controls are changed to stop recurrence; lessons learned improve response and recovery procedures; and incident-recovery testing is performed periodically using scenarios weighted by how likely and how severe threats are, components that can impair availability, loss of key personnel, and revision of plans from the results.

This control maps to 227 controls across 86 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

Other controls in CC - Common Criteria (Security)

You are reading one control. How much of SOC 2 have you already done?

SOC 2 SOC2-CC7.5 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of SOC 2 your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and 49 of 61 SOC 2 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. 193 were rejected on the NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 pair alone.
