About this file

This is an Appendix F Vendor Checklist for Rhode Island's GCOP Addendum B IT Policies, prepared by the Division of Enterprise Technology Strategy and Services (ETSS) within the Department of Administration for use in evaluating vendor solutions and products in connection with the Managed Application Services RFP27006832. The checklist requires vendors to review and respond to 31 distinct policy and security requirement items, including access control, audit and accountability, configuration management, contingency planning, identification and authentication, incident handling and response, IT systems acquisition, media handling, personnel security, physical and environmental security, system maintenance, communications protection, technology acceptable use, and cyber security questionnaire completion. Vendors must indicate agreement (A) or rejection (R) for each applicable policy requirement and provide comments explaining their position. The checklist serves as a mandatory compliance assessment tool for vendors whose solutions will interface with State of Rhode Island information resources, with multiple policies marked as not applicable depending on the nature of the proposed service delivery model.

The vendor checklist encompasses comprehensive information security and risk management standards established by Rhode Island's Enterprise Technical Security Standards (ETSS) program, designed to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of state IT resources and data. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with policies addressing federal tax information protection, bring-your-own-device security, supply chain risk management, system and information integrity, multi-factor authentication (MFA), artificial intelligence (AI) governance, accessibility and usability standards, and data breach protocols. Completion and submission of the ETSS CyberSecurity Questionnaire is mandatory, with vendors required to review detailed policy documentation available through provided links to rigov-policies.s3.amazonaws.com. This checklist functions as a prerequisite compliance document for the January 1, 2027 contract start date under the three-year initial term with two optional 24-month renewal periods, establishing baseline security and operational requirements that vendors must satisfy prior to contract award.
