Which documents support CP-2?

• A. FCD-1 and SP 800-34
• B. FCD-2 and SP 800-34
• C. FCD-1 and SP 800-37
• D. FCD-2 and SP 800-37

Answer: (A)

Contingency planning centers on having and maintaining plans that let critical operations continue during disruptions and recover quickly. The practical, step-by-step guidance for building and testing that plan comes from SP 800-34, which covers developing, testing, training, exercising, and maintaining contingency plans. The policy foundation for continuity of operations across federal agencies is provided by Federal Continuity Directive 1, which sets the overarching requirements and expectations that contingency planning must meet. Put together, these documents give both the policy framework and the actionable guidance needed to satisfy CP-2. The other options mix sources that either don’t focus on contingency planning in the same way (such as SP 800-37, which is about risk management at a high level) or rely on a directive that isn’t the standard pairing for CP-2 in this context.
