Definitions :

Automated Information System--
A combination ofinformation, computer, and telecommunications resources and
other information technology and personnel resources that collect, record, process,
store, communicate, retrieve, and display information (AFI 33-121). As used in this
document, AIS refers to systems for which the Air Force owns and maintains the
software code.

Business Systems--
A combination of information, computer, and telecommunications resources and other
AIS technology used to perform the Air Force’s noncombatant business function(s).

Hazard--
A danger, risk, or peril.

Impact--
The potential consequence of the failure. Assigned a value between 1 and 10.
The greater the impact (severity) of the hazard, the higher the impact value
assigned. For example: a life threatening hazard might be assigned an impact value
of 10.

Infrastructure--
Date processing items comprised of commercial-off-the-shelf components and for
which the Air Force does not own the software code.

Mission Critical--
The loss of these critical functions would cause immediate stoppage of direct
mission support of wartime operations (AFMAN 10-401).

Mitigation Strategy--
The pre-contingency strategy to ensure that the hazard does not occur or, to
lessen its impact if it does occur.Probability--The probability that a given event
(hazard) will occur. Assigned a numeric value between .0 and 1.0. The higher
the probability of occurrence, the higher the probability value assigned. For
example: An event that is certain to occur (like tax day) is assigned a Probability
of 1.

Recovery Plan--
Plans for returning to normal operations following the contingency.

Score--
The mathematical product of the probability and the impact. Indicates the level
of risk assigned to a hazard. The higher the product, the greater the risk.

Should we keep this, This is not referring to the development of contingency plans,
but the existence of current plans. If there are current contingency plans, they
still are relevant to this sentence.
