3.0 H.5200.224.004 Security Requirements For Handling Personally Identifiable Information And Privacy
Incident Response (July 2017)
Prescription: (1) The Contracting Officer (CO) shall include this special contract requirement in all contracts in which the contractor will have access to, process, store, or otherwise handle sensitive personally identifiable information where such contract has not otherwise been determined as “high risk” per HSAR Deviation 15-01 and thus does not include the special terms from that Deviation.
(2) Along with this special contract requirement, the CO shall likewise include HSAR 3052.204-70 “Security Requirements for Unclassified Information Technology Resources” (JUN 2006), HSAR 3052.204-71, “Contractor Employee Access” (SEP 2012), and FAR 52.224-3 “Privacy Training” (JAN 2017) in the same contract. Additionally, the CO shall add the following to paragraph (c) of FAR 52.224-3:
“Contractor employees shall satisfy this requirement by completing Privacy at DHS: Protecting Personal Information accessible at http://www.dhs.gov/dhs-security-and-training-requirements-contractors.
Training shall be completed within 30 days of contract award and be completed on an annual basis thereafter not later than October 31st of each year.”
(3) If a contract requirement involves only PII and does not include SPII as defined below, the CO shall delete items 1(c), 2, 3 (a), 3(b)((vii), 4(b), and 6(a) from this special contract requirement before inserting it into the contract.
3.1 Definitions.
3.1.1 “Breach” (may be used interchangeably with “Privacy Incident’) as used in this clause means the loss of control, compromise, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized acquisition, unauthorized access, or any similar situation where persons other than authorized users, and for other than authorized purpose, have access or potential access to Personally Identifiable Information, in usable form whether physical or electronic.
3.1.2 “Personally Identifiable Information (PII)” as used in this clause means any information that permits the identity of an individual to be directly or indirectly inferred, including any other information that is linked or linkable to that individual regardless of whether the individual is a citizen of the United States, legal permanent resident, or a visitor to the United States.
Examples of PII include: name, date of birth, mailing address, telephone number, Social Security Number (SSN), email address, zip code, account numbers, certificate/license numbers, vehicle identifiers including license plates, uniform resource locators (URLs), Internet protocol addresses, biometric identifiers (e.g., fingerprints), photographic facial images, or any other unique identifying number or characteristic, and any information where it is reasonably foreseeable that the information will be linked with other information to identify the individual.
3.1.3 “Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (Sensitive PII)” as used in this clause is a subset of Personally Identifiable Information, which if lost, compromised or disclosed without authorization, could result in substantial harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to an individual. Complete social security numbers (SSN), alien registration numbers (A-number) and biometric identifiers (such as fingerprint, voiceprint, or iris scan) are considered Sensitive PII even if they are not coupled with additional PII. Additional examples include any groupings of information that contains an individual’s name or other unique identifier plus one or more of the following elements:
• Driver’s license number, passport number, or truncated SSN (such as last 4 digits)
• Date of birth (month, day, and year)
• Citizenship or immigration status
• Financial information such as account numbers or Electronic Funds Transfer
Information
• Medical Information
• System authentication information such as mother’s maiden name, account passwords or personal identification numbers (PIN)
Other Personally Identifiable information may be “sensitive” depending on its context, such as a list of employees with less than satisfactory performance ratings or an unlisted home address or phone number. In contrast, a business card or public telephone directory of agency employees contains Personally Identifiable Information but it is not sensitive.
3.2 Systems Access. Work to be performed under this contract requires the handling of Sensitive PII.
The Government may elect to conduct random periodic reviews to ensure that the security requirements contained in this contract are being implemented and enforced. The contractor shall provide the Government access to, and information regarding the contractor’s systems, when requested by the Government, as part of its responsibility to ensure compliance with security requirements, and shall otherwise cooperate…
