risk
Hardware and equipment failure
Malfunction or breakdown of storage, processing, communications, sensor, controller, or display equipment (aging, resource depletion, disk errors) disrupting availability or integrity — including intermittent/degraded operation producing incorrect results.

- UC-BCDR-03 — Back up data and verify restorability mitigates Hardware and equipment failure
- strength
- related
- rationale
- restorable backups recover data lost to storage/disk failure
- UC-ASSET-07 — Manage assets through their life cycle and recover them at exit mitigates Hardware and equipment failure
- strength
- related
- rationale
- Lifecycle replacement trims only the age-driven subset of failures; general equipment failure's operative defenses are maintenance/redundancy/monitoring, and UC-07's true primary match is the aging-no-replacement risk.
- UC-BCDR-06 — Resolve operational incidents and eliminate root causes mitigates Hardware and equipment failure
- strength
- related
- rationale
- incident response restores and problem management drives permanent fixes for recurring equipment faults
- UC-ASSET-12 — Operate scheduled processing, backup, and availability monitoring mitigates Hardware and equipment failure
- strength
- related
- rationale
- availability monitoring detects and backups recover data from equipment failures
- UC-BCDR-12 — Operate IT services according to defined procedures mitigates Hardware and equipment failure
- strength
- related
- rationale
- infrastructure monitoring detects and corrects equipment deviations
- UC-BCDR-07 — Execute recovery plans to restore systems and operations mitigates Hardware and equipment failure
- strength
- related
- rationale
- recovery execution restores operations after equipment failure
- UC-BCDR-04 — Provide redundant and alternate processing, storage, and telecom mitigates Hardware and equipment failure
- strength
- related
- rationale
- redundant/alternate processing and storage maintain availability when equipment fails
- UC-ACCESS-17 — Execute, monitor, and recover production processing mitigates Hardware and equipment failure
- strength
- related
- rationale
- backup and tested restoration recover data lost to equipment failure
