CP-10(4) Restore Within Time Period
Enhancement of: CP-10
High-Level Description
Family: Contingency Planning (CP)
Framework: NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5
Restoration of system components includes reimaging, which restores the components to known, operational states.
What to Check
How to Test
Step 1: Review Documentation
Examine the System Security Plan (SSP) and related artifacts for CP-10(4) implementation details. Verify the organization has documented how this control is satisfied.
Step 2: Validate Implementation
# For cloud environments, use cloud-audit-mcp tools
# For on-premises, review system configurations directly
# Example: Check if account management policies exist
grep -r "account.management\|access.control" /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
Step 3: Test Operating Effectiveness
Verify the control is actively functioning, not just documented. Check logs, configurations, and operational evidence.
