1.5. Periodic State Security, Data Protection, and Privacy Audits and Testing

1.5.1. Security and Data Protection Audits and Issue Resolution

The State may, at any time in its sole discretion, elect to perform a Security and Data Protection Audit as set forth in this subsection. This includes a thorough review of Contractor controls, security and privacy functions and procedures, data storage and encryption methods, and backup and restoration processes.

The State may utilize a third-party contractor to perform such activities to demonstrate that all security, privacy, and encryption requirements are met.

The State or any entity with audit rights may conduct periodic security and privacy audits at its own cost and will utilize members of the DAS Office of Information Security and Privacy, the Office of Budget and Management – Office of Internal Audit, and the Auditor of State, depending on the focus area of the audit.

Page | 8

The Contractor must fully cooperate with the State or auditing entity during any such audits. Should an audit issue or finding be discovered, the following resolution path will apply:

The Contractor is responsible for resolving any security or privacy issues that exist in any of the IT resources they provide to the State at the Contractor’s cost. If a security or privacy issue exists in any of the IT resources furnished to the Contractor by the State (e.g., code, systems, computer hardware and software), the State will have responsibility to address or resolve the issue. The State may elect to work with the Contractor under mutually agreeable terms for resolution services, or the State may elect to address the issue independently of the Contractor.

Any findings, gaps, errors, or omissions found during a State audit must be resolved to the State’s satisfaction, and the Contractor will not proceed with Contract work until the State tests and approves the Contractor’s resolution of any such findings, gaps, errors, or omissions.

Please explain how these requirements will be met within the context of the proposed solution (e.g., Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), On- Premises or Hybrid). If this section, or portions of this section, are not applicable, please explain and note as N/A. Please note that any proposed Compensating Controls and/or requirement modifications must be noted in Appendix A - Compensating Controls to Security and Privacy Requirements. The language within this Supplement will not be modified.

Our team will work closely with the State to ensure all the requirements above our met. All work being done will require authentication to the necessary documents, code bases, etc. with any additional level of security including, but not limited to, user roles and access.

1.7. Contractor Access to State Network Systems and Data

When the Contractor accesses State network systems and data, including remotely, the Contractor must maintain a robust boundary security capability that incorporates generally recognized system hardening techniques. This includes determining which ports and services are required to support access to systems that hold State Data, limiting access to only these ports, and disabling all others.

To do this, the Contractor must:

1.7.1. Use assets and techniques such as properly configured firewalls, a demilitarized zone for handling public traffic, host-to-host management, Internet protocol specification for source and destination, strong authentication, encryption, packet filtering, activity logging, and implementation of system security fixes and patches as they become available.

1.7.2. Use multifactor authentication to limit access to systems that contain Sensitive Data.

1.7.3. Assume all State Data is both confidential and critical for State operations. The Contractor’s security policies, plans, and procedures for the handling, storage, backup, access, and, if appropriate, destruction of State Data must be commensurate to the moderate security baseline as defined in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-53 unless the State instructs the Contractor otherwise in writing.

1.7.4. Employ appropriate intrusion and attack prevention and detection capabilities. Those capabilities must track unauthorized access and attempts to access State Data, as well as attacks on the Contractor’s infrastructure associated with the State Data. Further, the Contractor must monitor and appropriately address information from its system tools used to prevent and detect unauthorized access to and attacks on the infrastructure associated with the State Data.

1.7.5. Use appropriate measures to ensure that State Data is secure before transferring control of any systems or media on which State Data is stored. The method of securing the State Data must be in alignment with the required data classification and risk assessment outcomes, and may include secure overwriting, destruction, or encryption of the State Data before transfer of control in alignment with Ohio Administrative Policy IT-05, “Disposal, Servicing, and Transfer of IT Equipment,” and NIST SP 800-88.

The transfer of any such system or media must be reasonably necessary for the performance of the Contractor’s obligations under the Contract.

Page | 11

1.7.6. Have a business continuity plan in place that the Contractor reviews, tests, and updates no less than annually and makes such plan and test results available to the State upon request. The plan must address procedures for responses to emergencies and other business interruptions. Part of the plan must address backing up and storing data at a location sufficiently remote from the facilities at which the Contractor maintains State Data in case of the loss of State Data at the primary site. The Contractor’s backup solution must include plans to recover from an intentional deletion attempt by a remote attacker exploiting compromised administrator credentials.

The plan also must address the rapid restoration, relocation, or replacement of resources associated with the State Data in the case of a disaster or other business interruption. The Contractor’s business continuity plan must address short- and long-term restoration, relocation, or replacement of resources that will ensure the smooth continuation of operations related to the State Data. Such resources may include, among others, communications, supplies, transportation, space, power and environmental controls, documentation, people, data, software, and hardware.

4.7.7. For any remote access to State systems and networks by Contractor, Contractor must follow the State’s instructions for such access and employ secure data transmission protocols, including transport layer security (TLS) and public key authentication, signing and/or encryption. In addition, any remote access solution must use Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) to provide encryption and non-repudiation services through digital certificates and the provided public key infrastructure (PKI).

Multifactor authentication must be employed for users with privileged network access by State-provided solutions.

Premises or Hybrid). If this section, or portions of this section, are not applicable, please explain and note as N/A. Please note that any proposed Compensating Controls and/or requirement modifications must be noted in Appendix A - Compensating Controls to Security and Privacy Requirements. The language within this Supplement will not be modified.

Our team will ensure secure access to any State data is restricted to only those working on all or portions of the project with explicit instructions not to pass or disseminate any State data or documents. Any and all access to the State network will follow State guidance.

1.8. Portable Devices and Media

Contractor must not allow State Data to be loaded onto portable computing devices or portable storage components or media unless necessary to perform its obligations under the Contract. If necessary for such performance, the Contractor may permit State Data to be loaded onto portable computing devices or portable storage components or media only if adequate security measures are in place to ensure the integrity and security of State Data. Those measures must include a policy on physical security and appropriate encryption for such devices to minimize the risk of theft and unauthorized access, as well as a prohibition against viewing sensitive or confidential data in public or common areas.

If it is necessary to load State Data onto portable computing devices or portable storage components or media, Contractor must ensure that portable computing devices have anti-virus software, personal firewalls, and system password protection. In addition, State Data must be encrypted when stored on any portable computing or storage device or media or when transmitted across any data network. Contractor must also maintain an accurate inventory of all such devices and the individuals to whom they are assigned.

Page | 12

The Contractor must have reporting requirements for lost or stolen portable computing devices authorized for use with State Data and must report any loss or theft of such devices to the State in writing as defined in Section 3.

Please explain how these requirements will be met within the context of the proposed solution (e.g., Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), On- Premises or Hybrid). If this section, or portions of this section, are not applicable, please explain and note as N/A.

2. State and Federal Regulatory Data Security and Privacy Requirements

The State is committed to protecting its information systems and the data it collects, processes, or maintains on behalf of itself or others from unauthorized use and disclosure, and uses the Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs) as the foundational principles for privacy policy and implementation. All systems and services must be designed and must function according to the FIPPs, which are transparency, individual participation, purpose specification, data minimization, use limitation, data quality and integrity, security, accountability, and auditing.

State systems include many different types of data that are protected by federal or state laws, rules, regulations, and policies, and may be amended from time to time. When the Contractor has knowledge, whether actual or implied, of the data classification of, or regulatory requirements applicable to, the State Data being utilized or accessed by the Contractor or in the Contractor’s services or systems, the Contractor is responsible for applying and complying with all such regulatory requirements applicable to that State Data. All systems and services must comply with the regulatory requirements set forth in this section and/or as otherwise communicated to the Contractor by the State, if applicable.
