Continuity of Operations Plans (COOP) must be developed and tested for ALL DoDIN connected systems to ensure system and data availability in the event of any type of failure. If no COOP is in place ensure the risk has been (specifically for lack of a COOP) accepted by the responsible Authorizing Official (AO) in a Holistic Risk Assessment of the organization.
