2. If not certified under FedRAMP, the Cloud System and CSP have received an ATO signed by the Authorizing Official for the DOJ component responsible for maintaining the security, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the DOJ Information under the contract.

C. 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.

VI. Information System Security Breach or Incident

A. Definitions

1. Confirmed Security Breach (hereinafter, “Confirmed Breach”) means any confirmed unauthorized exposure, loss of control, compromise, exfiltration, manipulation, disclosure, acquisition, or accessing of any Covered Information System or any DOJ Information accessed by, retrievable from, processed by, stored on, or transmitted within, to or from any such system.

2. Potential Security Breach (hereinafter, “Potential Breach”) means any suspected, but unconfirmed, Covered Information System Security Breach.

3. Security Incident means any Confirmed or Potential Covered Information System Security Breach.

B. Confirmed Breach. Contractor shall immediately (and in no event later than within 1 hour of discovery) report any Confirmed Breach to the DOJ CO and the CO's Representative (“COR”). If the Confirmed Breach occurs outside of regular business hours and/or neither the DOJ CO nor the COR can be reached, Contractor must call DOJ-CERT at 1-866-US4-CERT (1-866-874-2378) immediately (and in no event later than within 1 hour of discovery of the Confirmed Breach), and shall notify the CO and COR as soon as practicable.

C. Potential Breach.

1. Contractor shall report any Potential Breach within 72 hours of detection to the DOJ CO and the COR, unless Contractor has (a) completed its investigation of the Potential Breach in accordance with its own internal policies and procedures for identification, investigation and mitigation of Security Incidents and (b) determined that there has been no Confirmed Breach.

2. If Contractor has not made a determination within 72 hours of detection of the Potential Breach whether an Confirmed Breach has occurred, Contractor shall report the Potential Breach to the DOJ CO and COR within one-hour (i.e., 73 hours from detection of the Potential Breach). If the time by which to report the Potential Breach occurs outside of regular business hours and/or neither the DOJ CO nor the COR can be reached, Contractor must call the DOJ Computer Emergency Readiness Team (DOJ-CERT) at 1-866-US4-CERT (1-866-874-2378) within one-hour (i.e., 73 hours from detection of the Potential Breach) and contact the DOJ CO and COR as soon as practicable.

D. Any report submitted in accordance with paragraphs (B) and (C), above, shall identify (1) both the Information Systems and DOJ Information involved or at risk, including the type, amount, and level of sensitivity of the DOJ Information and, if the DOJ Information contains PII, the estimated number of unique instances of PII, (2) all steps and processes being undertaken by Contractor to minimize, remedy, and/or investigate the Security Incident, (3) any and all other information as required by the US-CERT Federal Incident Notification Guidelines, including the functional impact, information impact, impact to recoverability, threat vector, mitigation details, and all available incident details; and (4) any other information specifically requested by the DOJ. Contractor shall continue to provide written updates to the DOJ CO regarding the status of the Security Incident at least every three (3) calendar days until informed otherwise by the DOJ CO.

E. All determinations regarding whether and when to notify individuals and/or federal agencies potentially affected by a Security Incident will be made by DOJ senior officials or the DOJ Core

Management Team at DOJ’s discretion.

F. Upon notification of a Security Incident in accordance with this section, Contractor must provide to DOJ full access to any affected or potentially affected facility and/or Information System, including access by the DOJ OIG and Federal law enforcement organizations, and undertake any and all response actions DOJ determines are required to ensure the protection of DOJ Information, including providing all requested images, log files, and event information to facilitate rapid resolution of any Security Incident.

G. DOJ, at its sole discretion, may obtain, and Contractor will permit, the assistance of other federal agencies and/or third party contractors or firms to aid in response activities related to any Security Incident. Additionally, DOJ, at its sole discretion, may require Contractor to retain, at Contractor’s expense, a Third Party Assessing Organization (3PAO), acceptable to DOJ, with expertise in incident response, compromise assessment, and federal security control requirements, to conduct a thorough vulnerability and security assessment of all affected Information Systems.

H. Response activities related to any Security Incident undertaken by DOJ, including activities undertaken by Contractor, other federal agencies, and any third-party contractors or firms at the request or direction of DOJ, may include inspections, investigations, forensic reviews, data analyses and processing, and final determinations of responsibility for the Security Incident and/or liability for any additional response activities. Contractor shall be responsible for all costs and related resource allocations required for all such response activities related to any Security Incident, including the cost of any penetration testing.

VII. Personally Identifiable Information Notification Requirement

Contractor certifies that it has a security policy in place that contains procedures to promptly notify any individual whose Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) was, or is reasonably determined by DOJ to have been, compromised. Any notification shall be coordinated with the DOJ CO and shall not proceed until the DOJ has made a determination that notification would not impede a law enforcement investigation or jeopardize national security. The method and content of any notification by Contractor shall be coordinated with, and subject to the approval of, DOJ. Contractor shall be responsible for taking corrective action consistent with DOJ Data Breach Notification Procedures and as directed by the DOJ CO, including all costs and expenses associated with such corrective action, which may include providing credit monitoring to any individuals whose PII was actually or potentially compromised.

VIII. Pass-through of Security Requirements to Subcontractors and CSPs

The requirements set forth in the preceding paragraphs of this clause apply to all subcontractors and CSPs who perform work in connection with this Contract, including any CSP providing services for any other CSP under this Contract, and Contractor shall flow down this clause to all subcontractors and CSPs performing under this contract. Any breach by any subcontractor or CSP of any of the provisions set forth in this clause will be attributed to Contractor.

Data Security Contract Clause for Contracts Involving the PII of 25 or Fewer Individuals (May 2016) The following clause applies to all contracts involving the personally identifiable information (PII) of 25 or fewer individuals. PII refers to information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, such as his or her name, social security number, biometric records, etc., whether alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual, such as date and place of birth, mother’s maiden name, etc. PII is defined at this link: http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/104256.

Contractors using information systems that are subject to the data security requirements under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) already are subject to the data security standards outlined below, and, therefore, only paragraphs (g), (h), and (i) apply.

(a) Contractors must ensure that computer hardware is secure and shall take the steps outlined below:

(1) Keep your firewall turned on: A firewall helps protect your computer from hackers who might try to gain access to crash it, delete information, or even steal passwords or other sensitive information. Software firewalls are widely recommended for single computers. The software is prepackaged on some operating systems or can be purchased for individual computers. For multiple networked computers, hardware routers typically provide firewall protection, although the contractor must verify this.

(2) Computers must be protected by username/password logins and password-protected screensavers (after 15-min. idle). Computer accounts cannot be shared with other users.

Contractors must report an incident to the EOUSA Security Operations Center at 803-705-5533 within one hour if their account is accessed by another user.

(3) Install and update your antivirus software: Antivirus software is designed to prevent malicious software programs from embedding in your computer. If it detects malicious code, like a virus or a worm, it works to disarm or remove it. Viruses can infect computers without users’ knowledge. Most types of antivirus software can be set up to update automatically.

(4) Install and update your antispyware technology: Spyware is just what it sounds like— software that is surreptitiously installed on your computer to let others peer into your activities on the computer. Some spyware collects information about you without your consent or produces unwanted pop-up ads on your web browser. Some operating systems offer free spyware protection, and inexpensive software is readily available for download on the Internet or at your local computer store. Be wary of ads on the Internet offering downloadable antispyware—in some cases these products may be fake and may actually contain spyware or other malicious code.

(5) Maintain active and supported operating systems and application software. Computer operating systems (e.g., Windows 8.0) and application software (e.g., Microsoft Word) have a lifecycle that begins when a product is released and ends when it’s no longer supported. Install and maintain security updates and fixes updated to stay in tune with technology requirements and to fix security holes. Be sure to install the updates to ensure your computer has the latest protection.

(6) Be careful what you download: Carelessly downloading e-mail attachments can circumvent even the most vigilant anti-virus software. Never open an e-mail attachment from someone you don’t know and be wary of forwarded attachments from people you do know. They may have unwittingly advanced malicious code.

(7) Turn off your computer: With the growth of high-speed Internet connections, many opt to leave their computers on and ready for action. The downside is that being “always on” renders computers more susceptible. Beyond firewall protection, which is designed to fend off unwanted attacks, turning the computer off effectively severs an attacker’s connection—be it spyware or a botnet that employs your computer’s resources to reach out to other unwitting users.

(b) You must encrypt files related to this project on your computer whenever you are not working on them using a standard software encryption product such as Winzip (Version 18.5 or later with the Windows FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules enabled), Securezip, or any other product that meets Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2. If you do not already have a suitable encryption program on your computer, you can download one of these products easily.

(c) If the data under this contract will be accessed by more than one person, rules of behavior must be signed by users. These rules shall address at a minimum: authorized and official use; prohibition against unauthorized users; and protection of sensitive data and PII. You can comply by having all users sign these rules: 1. Keep all data and information received from the government confidential.

2. Do not leave it unattended in a place where an unauthorized person might read, copy, or take it.

3. Do not transmit it without encryption from one computer to another. 4. If confidentiality is breached, inform [name principal of the contractor] within one hour of suspected breach so the United States can fulfill its obligations.

(d) All PII data must be deleted from all contractor-owned devices within 15 days of contract termination or contractor completion. The Contracting Officer (CO) must receive a written certification, either via email or letter, that the contractor has deleted all PII. This bulletin outlines approved method of data destruction; please see Appendix 1, which begins on page 26:

http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-88r1.pdf.

(e) All files related to this project, and contractor-owned removable media (such as removable hard drives, flash drives, CDs, or floppy disks containing DOJ data) shall not be removed from DOJ facilities (either physically or electronically, such as by email) unless encrypted using a NIST FIPS 140-2 approved product. Please note that this requirement refers to transferring information between systems and storage devices (such as back and forth between contractor and DOJ attorney), while paragraph (b) above applies to data while it is on your computer.

NOTE: As an alternative to media encryption, DOJ data may be securely exchanged between contractors and USAO personnel via the approved U.S. Attorneys’ File Exchange (USAfx) web portal.

(f) Contractors shall keep an accurate inventory of DOJ-owned devices used on DOJ contracts. It is understood that not all users will receive a DOJ-owned device. If equipment is provided, then the contractor, as well as the USAO providing the devices, must maintain an inventory of accountable DOJ property.

(g) If a data breach is suspected, the contractor shall, within one hour of discovery, report the breach http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-88r1.pdf to the EOUSA Security Operations Center (SOC) at 803-705-5533.

(h) The contractor must coordinate with EOUSA and the Department on notifying any individual whose PII was, or is reasonably believed to have been, breached.

(i) The contractor must require that all subcontractors under this contract (if any) adhere to all applicable security contract requirements.

Continuing Contract Performance During a Pandemic Influenza or other National Emergency (October 2007)

During a Pandemic or other emergency, we understand that our contractor workforce will experience the same high levels of absenteeism as our federal employees. Although the Excusable Delays and Termination for Default clauses used in government contracts list epidemics and quarantine restrictions among the reasons to excuse delays in contract performance, we expect our contractors to make a reasonable effort to keep performance at an acceptable level during emergency periods.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has provided guidance to federal managers and employees on the kinds of actions to be taken to ensure the continuity of operations during emergency periods. This guidance is also applicable to our contract workforce. Contractors are expected to have reasonable policies in place for continuing work performance, particularly those performing mission critical services, during a pandemic influenza or other emergency situation.

The types of actions a federal contractor should reasonably take to help ensure performance are:

Encourage employees to get inoculations or follow other preventive measures as advised by the public health service.

Contractors should cross-train workers as backup for all positions performing critical services. This is particularly important for work such as guard services where telework is not an option.

Implement telework to the greatest extent possible in the workgroup so systems are in place to support successful remote work in an emergency.

Communicate expectations to all employees regarding their roles and…
