Connections
- UC-BCDR-10 — Test recovery capabilities and train contingency personnel mitigates IT resilience failure — unplanned outage, data loss, slow recovery
- strength
- primary
- rationale
- testing failover/restore and remediating gaps reduces the likelihood that DR fails to activate in a real outage
- UC-BCDR-11 — Sustain operations via safe modes and alternate mechanisms mitigates IT resilience failure — unplanned outage, data loss, slow recovery
- strength
- primary
- rationale
- safe-mode and alternate mechanisms keep critical systems operating when primary capabilities fail
- UC-BCDR-08 — Declare recovery complete and set post-incident norms mitigates IT resilience failure — unplanned outage, data loss, slow recovery
- strength
- related
- rationale
- formal recovery-complete criteria prevent premature return to service that would re-trigger disruption
- UC-ACCESS-17 — Execute, monitor, and recover production processing mitigates IT resilience failure — unplanned outage, data loss, slow recovery
- strength
- primary
- rationale
- scheduled protected backups with tested restoration confirm recoverability within objectives, reducing outage/data-loss/slow-recovery
- UC-BCDR-06 — Resolve operational incidents and eliminate root causes mitigates IT resilience failure — unplanned outage, data loss, slow recovery
- strength
- primary
- rationale
- incident response restores service within SLAs and root-cause problem resolution reduces outage duration and recurrence
- UC-ACCESS-18 — Log and monitor system activity, capacity, and incidents mitigates IT resilience failure — unplanned outage, data loss, slow recovery
- strength
- primary
- rationale
- Monitors performance/capacity against thresholds and projects/tunes resource use, directly reducing capacity-driven outages; incident tracking shortens recovery.
- UC-BCDR-04 — Provide redundant and alternate processing, storage, and telecom mitigates IT resilience failure — unplanned outage, data loss, slow recovery
- strength
- primary
- rationale
- redundant/alternate capability that assumes operations within RTO directly reduces outage impact
- UC-ASSET-12 — Operate scheduled processing, backup, and availability monitoring mitigates IT resilience failure — unplanned outage, data loss, slow recovery
- strength
- primary
- rationale
- verified backups plus periodic recovery tests and availability monitoring directly reduce data loss and slow recovery
- UC-BCDR-09 — Communicate recovery status to stakeholders mitigates IT resilience failure — unplanned outage, data loss, slow recovery
- strength
- related
- rationale
- communicating recovery status through pre-defined channels reduces stakeholder harm during disruption
- UC-BCDR-07 — Execute recovery plans to restore systems and operations mitigates IT resilience failure — unplanned outage, data loss, slow recovery
- strength
- primary
- rationale
- executing recovery procedures to restore systems and data within RTO is the direct recovery mechanism
- UC-BCDR-05 — Manage capacity to meet availability requirements mitigates IT resilience failure — unplanned outage, data loss, slow recovery
- strength
- primary
- rationale
- adding capacity before thresholds are breached prevents resource-exhaustion outages
- UC-BCDR-03 — Back up data and verify restorability mitigates IT resilience failure — unplanned outage, data loss, slow recovery
- strength
- primary
- rationale
- RPO-aligned backups with verified test restores directly limit data loss and recovery time
