This document is a State of Wisconsin Security Rider, Version 7, attached to a contract for Governance, Risk and Compliance Tools (Contract 505ENTM26-GRCTOOLS-01) between the State of Wisconsin and Federal Resources Corporation. The security rider specifically addresses cloud computing services, including Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and establishes comprehensive security, data protection, and operational guidelines for the contractor.
The security rider outlines detailed requirements for data ownership, protection, location, breach notification, personal data handling, system maintenance, identity management, and compliance standards. Key provisions include mandating that all state data remain the property of the State of Wisconsin, requiring encryption of data at rest and in transit, ensuring data center operations are in the United States, establishing strict protocols for security incidents and data breaches, and requiring annual independent security audits. The document emphasizes protecting various types of sensitive information, including Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), and other regulated data categories, with specific requirements for safeguarding, accessing, and managing these records across cloud computing environments.
