An Information System Contingency Plan (ISCP) is a pre-established plan for restoration of the services of a given information system after a disruption.. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology Computer Security Resource Center (CSRC) has published a Special Publication (SP) named SP 800-34 guiding organizations as to how an ISCP should be developed.
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is meant to be a living document, meaning it will be updated and improved over time to keep up with changes in technology and cybersecurity threats, as well as to integrate best-practices and lessons learned. Since releasing version 1.1 in 2018, stakeholders have provided feedback that the CSF needed to be updated.
IT disaster recovery (also, simply disaster recovery (DR)) is the process of maintaining or reestablishing vital infrastructure and systems following a natural or human-induced disaster, such as a storm or battle. DR employs policies, tools, and procedures with a focus on IT systems supporting critical business functions. [1]
[1] [3] The RMF steps link to several other NIST standards and guidelines, including NIST Special Publication 800-53. The RMF process includes the following steps: Prepare to execute the RMF by establishing a context and setting priorities for managing security and privacy risk at both organizational and system levels.

In 2008, NIST withdrew the FIPS 55-3 database. [7] This database included 5-digit numeric place codes for cities, towns, and villages, or other centers of population in the United States. The codes were assigned alphabetically to places within each state, and as a result changed frequently in order to maintain the alphabetical sorting.
[33] [34] [35] On devices with Windows' BitLocker disk encryption enabled, which corporations often use to increase security, fixing the problem was exacerbated because the 48-digit numeric Bitlocker recovery keys (unique to each system) required manual input, with additional challenges supplying the recovery keys to end users working remotely.
