The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has just released the Infrastructure Resilience Planning Framework (IRPF) Launchpoint, which is intended as a tool to help critical infrastructure operators and other stakeholders quickly determine how the IRPF can best support resilience planning.
The IRPF Launchpoint is designed to help users:
- Contemplate their community’s resilience goals and objectives;
- Identify specific IRPF guidance and resources relevant to their efforts; and
- Develop an approach to incorporate appropriate elements of the IRPF into their planning activities.
It does this by walking users through a series of questions focused on core IRPF concepts. Based on their answers, users are directed to specific guidance, resources, and templates that best suit their level of knowledge, interests, and needs.
The IRPF Launchpoint takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete and automatically generates results that the user can save and/or print. Results are intended purely for the user; no answers or information will be recorded by or transmitted to CISA through use of this self-appraisal tool.
First published in the fall of 2021 and last updated in November 2022 (read more at WaterISAC), the IRPF aims to helps incorporate critical infrastructure resilience considerations into planning activities.
