What is an IT Contingency Plan?? I’m well aware of a DRP, but I have yet to uncover a source that tells me about this ITCP… Please, someone, for my sanity’s sake. What source books are they using??
Ric, look at the link below.

Also See NIST 800-34, special publication.
FYI, Ref NIST800-34
“Information System Contingency Plan (ISCP)
An ISCP provides established procedures for the assessment and recovery of a system following a system disruption. The ISCP provides key information needed for system recovery, including roles and responsibilities, inventory information, assessment procedures, detailed recovery procedures, and testing of a system.
The ISCP differs from a DRP primarily in that the information system contingency plan procedures are developed for recovery of the system regardless of site or location. An ISCP can be activated at the system’s current location or at an alternate site.”
Thank you, I was going nuts trying to figure out why a ISCP is more detailed than DR. Thanks for the references!
