About this file
This is a Service Provider Security Assessment Questionnaire for South Carolina's SCDPPPS Applicant Registry Application contract opportunity. The questionnaire is a mandatory security compliance document that prospective contractors must complete and submit with their proposals. It functions as both an assessment tool and a representation of the service provider's security capabilities and practices.
The questionnaire requires contractors to provide comprehensive documentation across eleven key security domains, including access control policies, disaster recovery and business continuity plans, employee and contractor vetting procedures, sub-contractor security management, third-party certifications (such as ISO/IEC 27001, AICPA SOC 2 Type 2, or SysTrust/WebTrust seals), physical security measures for data centers, encryption protocols for data at rest and in transit, breach prevention safeguards, security breach detection controls and audit log retention practices, post-contract data destruction procedures, incident response policies, and identification of any third parties with access to government information. Contractors must provide detailed explanations for each response and cross-reference supporting documentation as needed. An authorized company representative must sign the questionnaire certifying the accuracy of all provided information.
