# RC.RP-04 RC.RP-04

> **Subcategory of:** Incident Recovery Plan Execution (RC.RP)

## High-Level Description

**Function:** RECOVER (RC)
**Framework:** NIST Cybersecurity Framework v2.0

Critical mission functions and cybersecurity risk management are considered to establish post-incident operational norms

## What to Check

- [ ] Verify RC.RP-04 RC.RP-04 outcome is achieved
- [ ] Review documentation and evidence for RC.RP-04
- [ ] Assess organizational maturity for RECOVER function
- [ ] Map to SP 800-53 controls that satisfy RC.RP-04

## How to Test

### Step 1: Identify Current Profile

Determine the organization's current and target CSF profile tier for RC.RP-04.

### Step 2: Assess Outcome Achievement

```
# Review organizational policies and procedures
# Check for evidence that RC.RP-04 outcome is met
# Interview stakeholders responsible for RECOVER
```

### Step 3: Map to Technical Controls

Identify which SP 800-53 controls implement this CSF outcome and verify their operating effectiveness.
