Practitioner Notes

This enhancement requires your contingency plan to coordinate with related plans — like your incident response plan, business continuity plan, and disaster recovery plan.

Example 1: Cross-reference your contingency plan with your incident response plan so that when a major security incident triggers a system outage, both plans activate in coordination.

Example 2: Coordinate with your building's physical emergency plan (fire, evacuation) so that IT contingency procedures account for scenarios where the building is inaccessible.
