About this file
This file is a Security Requirements Appendix (Z3) for the County of Sacramento's Identity Management System procurement, establishing mandatory and desirable security specifications for potential contractors. The document outlines security requirements across three solution categories: Cloud Solutions (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), Hybrid Solutions (combining cloud and on-premises), and On-Premises Solutions. Respondents must address the "All Respondents" section plus the section(s) corresponding to their proposed solution type. The requirements reference NIST 800-53 v5 standards and establish technical controls across cryptography, authentication, audit protection, multi-factor authentication, vulnerability management, incident response, configuration management, and physical security. Cloud and Hybrid solutions must demonstrate GovRAMP readiness within one year and authorization within eighteen months, maintain 90 days of online SIEM log storage with 365 days of event data retention, and remediate vulnerabilities on defined timelines (High within 30 days, Moderate within 90 days, Low within 180 days).
On-Premises and Hybrid solutions must support specific security tools including Tanium for system patching and vulnerability scanning, CrowdStrike Falcon for endpoint security, and Splunk Universal Forwarder or equivalent log forwarding capabilities for integration with the County's Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system. Security patches must be applied within thirty days of vendor release for all operating systems and included software. Requirements are designated as either [R] Required/Mandatory, with failure to meet disqualifying the response unless modifications can accommodate the requirement with documented resources and costs, or [D] Desirable, with non-compliance not disqualifying the submission. Response codes include [Y] for current capability, [YR] for capability requiring custom programming, [P] for planned future releases, and [N] for no current or planned capability.

DRAFT 8_21_18 v. 4.0
APPENDIX Z3 - COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO
SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
These security requirements represent both infrastructure and application requirements. It contains questions for All Respondents, Cloud Solutions, Hybrid Solutions, and On-Premises Solutions. You are only required to respond to the All Respondents section and the sections that match the solution being offered.
· Cloud Solution: The use of Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and others storing, processing, and/or transmitting of COUNTY Data in environments outside the control of the COUNTY.
· Hybrid Solution: The use of both a Cloud Solution and an On-Premises Solution.
· On-Premises Solution: The use of a solution that is installed and run on servers that are on the COUNTY’s premises.
Definitions of the table heading:
| Item # |
| A unique question number. |
| Type |
| The requirement or question will be one or more of the following types: |
· [D] Desirable – Specification that is not required. Failure to meet this specification or item will NOT disqualify your response.
· [R] Required/Mandatory – You must satisfy or exceed this specification or element for your response to be deemed acceptable. If your system does not currently address the requirement, but can be modified to accommodate the requirement, indicate in your response the resources needed to make this accommodation (i.e., work plan, personnel, elapsed time, man-hours, and/or total costs).
· Narrative Request. Required to be answered.
| Requirement or Question |
| The requirement or question. |
| Response Code |
| References to the response codes listed below. Use these response codes to answer the questions in the appropriate sections: |
· [Y] Yes, in current release, satisfies requirement straight out of the box.
· [YR] Yes, in current release, satisfies requirement with custom programming or beyond normal configuration. Comments and/or additional pricing required.
· [P] In next planned release. Comments and estimated release date required.
· [N] No, neither in current release nor planned in future releases.
Although your solution may not directly satisfy a requirement, if you believe modifications or adjustments are possible to satisfy the requirement respond with a P for planned and explain in the comment column.
