S 6.10 Contingency plans for breakdown of data<br />

transmission<br />

Initiation responsibility: Head of <strong>IT</strong> Section, <strong>IT</strong> Security Management,<br />

Staff responsible for the individual <strong>IT</strong><br />

applications<br />

Implementation responsibility: Staff responsible for emergency preparedness<br />

(contingency planning); administrator<br />

<strong>The</strong> contingency plan for a breakdown of data transmission covers the<br />

instructions on actions to be taken in case of any failure of data transmission<br />

facilities. In particular, it must be known what internal and external<br />

alternatives are available before a definitive decision is made on how to<br />

compensate for a system failure.<br />

Possible alternatives are, for instance:<br />

- replacing data transmission by courier-carried exchanges of data media or<br />

printed material (cf. Chapter 7.1);<br />

- data transfer viaother data transmission facilities; or<br />

- use of mobile communications facilities (e.g. PAMR, mobile telephony,<br />

satellite communication).<br />

Additional controls:<br />

- Has the data transmission capacity required for the use of alternative<br />

resources been adequately dimensioned?<br />
