Customized Contingency Planning Programs for Department of Defense (DoD) Contractors
Arlington is a leading provider in developing highly customized Business Continuity Disaster Recovery Planning/Contingency Planning (BCDRP/CP) programs for DoD contractors. Per NIST 800-34, “Information system contingency planning represents a broad scope of activities designed to sustain and recover critical system services following an emergency event. Information system contingency planning fits into a much broader security and emergency management effort that includes organizational and business process continuity, disaster recovery planning, and incident management.”
Contingency Plans – A Strict Requirement for DoD Contractors
For DoD contractors implementing the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF), developing a contingency plan (per NIST 800-53, CP-2 requirements) is a must. Arlington has years of experience working within the broader Defense Industrial Base (DIB) in helping DoD and other federal contractors in designing, documenting, implementing, and testing their contingency plans.
A well-developed contingency plan is much more than a simple policy or procedures document – rather – it requires thoughtful consideration on dozens of critical issues related to the broader topic of Business Continuity Disaster Recovery Planning/Contingency Planning (BCDRP/CP). Additionally, such a plan must be tested annually as required by various regulations, but also as a best practice.
Talk to the Experts when it Comes to BCDRP/CP Programs
Organizations today are faced with ever-growing threats, ranging from cybersecurity to environmental hazards, and more. It’s therefore critical to have in place documented Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning/Contingency Planning (BCDRP/CP) initiatives. Disasters do happen, thus the ability to continue to operate as an organization – and to ultimately recover from a disaster – is essential.
