Accordingly, all contractors are obligated to comply with all applicable DOJ security policies, directives, or guidance documents, including the security requirements in the provisions in this contract clause. This contract clause applies to all contractors and subcontractors, including cloud service providers (“CSPs”), and personnel of the contractors and subcontractors (hereinafter collectively, “Contractor”) that may access, collect, store, process, maintain, use, share, retrieve, disseminate, transmit, or dispose of DOJ Information. The security requirements set forth herein are in addition to those required by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”), and any other applicable laws, mandates, contract clauses, DOJ policies, directives or guidance documents and Executive Orders pertaining to the development and operation of Information Systems and/or the protection of Government Information. This clause does not alter or diminish any existing rights, obligations, or liability under any other civil and/or criminal law, rule, regulation, or mandate.

II. General Definitions The following general definitions apply to this clause. Specific definitions also apply as set forth in other paragraphs.

A. Authorization to Operate (“ATO”), as defined in National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) Special Publication (“SP”) 800-37 Revision 2, is the official management decision given by a senior Federal official or officials to authorize operation of an information system and to explicitly accept the risk to agency operations (including mission, functions, image, or reputation), agency assets, individuals, other organizations, and the Nation based on the implementation of an agreed-upon set of security and privacy controls.

B. Cloud Computing, as defined in DOJ Order 0904 Cybersecurity Program, is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models in accordance with NIST SP 800-145.

C. Covered Contract is any contract, order or other agreement under which the contractor, or a subcontractor at any tier, including a cloud service provider, may access, collect, store, process, maintain, use, share, retrieve, disseminate, transmit, or dispose of DOJ Information (as defined below) in the course of providing a product or service to the Department, with the exception of acquisitions under the micro-purchase threshold.

H. Information System, means a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information (44 U.S.C. 3502(8)).

I. Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”), as defined in the FAR 24.101, means information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, either alone or when combined with other information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual. It includes but is not limited to common data elements such as names, addresses, dates of birth, and places of employment, to identity documents, Social Security numbers or other government-issued identifiers, precise location information, medical history, and biometric records. This definition covers all PII that is created by or becomes available to the contractor, including its employees, subcontractors, or affiliates, as a result of performing under this contract.

The suspension of access to DOJ Information may last until such time as DOJ, in its sole discretion, determines that the situation giving rise to such action has been corrected or no longer exists.

15B31326Q00000016 Page 14 of 18

Any termination action taken because of the Contractor’s suspected failure to comply with any security requirement will be conducted in accordance with the applicable termination clause governing the awarded contract.

2. In cases where the CSP or its offering is not FedRAMP authorized, the COR approves utilization of the Cloud System after the CSP has worked with the authorizing official, the DOJ OCIO, and the FedRAMP Program Management Office to determine that the CSP is likely to seek and receive Agency/FedRAMP authorization within 1 year, or DOJ has authorized use as a Private Cloud or Contractor Owned, Contractor Operated system.

B. The Contractor must ensure that the CSP allows DOJ to access and retrieve any DOJ Information processed, stored, or transmitted in a Cloud system under this Contract within a reasonable time of any such request, but in no event less than 48 hours from the request. To ensure that the DOJ can fully and appropriately search and retrieve DOJ Information from the Cloud system, access shall include any schemas, meta-data, and other associated data artifacts.

C. The Contractor must ensure that the CSP provides access and information to support and enable DOJ’s cloud security posture management, to include the current inventory of security management configuration data for services and information to confirm the Contractor has been monitoring accounts for compliance with security requirements.
