Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-7069 APPNET0055 SV-7452r2_rule CODB-1 CODB-2 Medium
Description
A successful disaster recovery plan requires that CAS policy and CAS policy configuration files are identified and included in systems disaster backup and recovery events. Documentation regarding the location of system and application specific CAS policy configuration files and the frequency in which backups occur is required. If these files are not identified and the information is not documented, there is the potential that critical application configuration files may not be included in disaster recovery events which could lead to an availability risk.
