About this file

This is an attachment to a state contract opportunity from the Commonwealth of Kentucky outlining requirements for vendors handling personal information under Kentucky's Personal Information Security and Breach Investigation Procedures and Practices Act (KRS 61.931, et seq.). The document establishes mandatory security and compliance standards for all non-affiliated third parties that receive, access, collect, or maintain personal information as defined by state statute. Personal information includes an individual's name combined with sensitive data elements such as account numbers, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers, or health information subject to HIPAA regulations. Vendors must implement, maintain, and update security procedures that are at least as stringent as those established by the Commonwealth Office of Technology, with procedures available at the specified Kentucky technology website.

Vendors receiving personal information are required to immediately notify the contracting agency, Office of Procurement Services, Commonwealth Office of Technology, and NG-KIH Program Office within seventy-two hours of discovering or determining a breach has occurred, except where specific statutory exceptions apply. Vendors must cooperate with the Commonwealth on response, mitigation, correction, investigation, and notification requirements, undertake prompt and reasonable investigations of any breach, and share costs for notification, investigation, and mitigation activities. The Commonwealth reserves the right to withhold vendor payments for violations of identity theft prevention reporting requirements. This attachment serves as a mandatory contractual obligation for any vendor participating in Commonwealth procurements involving personal information.

“Personal Information” is defined in accordance with KRS 61.931(6) as “an individual’s first name or first initial and last name; personal mark; or unique biometric or genetic print or image, in combination with one (1) or more of the following data elements:

a) An account, credit card number, or debit card number that, in combination with any required security code, access code or password, would permit access to an account;

b) A Social Security number;

c) A taxpayer identification number that incorporates a Social Security number;

d) A driver’s license number, state identification card number or other individual identification number issued by an agency;

e) A passport number or other identification number issued by the United States government; or

f) Individually Identifiable Information as defined in 45 C.F.R. sec. 160.013 (of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), except for education records covered by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, as amended 20 U.S.C. sec 1232g.”

As provided in KRS 61.931(5), a “non-affiliated third party” means “any person or entity that has a contract or agreement with the Commonwealth and receives (accesses, collects or maintains) personal information from the Commonwealth pursuant to the contract or agreement.”

The vendor hereby agrees to cooperate with the Commonwealth in complying with the response, mitigation, correction, investigation, and notification requirements of the Act.

The vendor shall immediately notify as soon as possible, but not to exceed seventy-two (72) hours, the contracting agency, the Office of Procurement Services, the Commonwealth Office of Technology and the NG-KIH Program Office of a determination of or knowledge of a breach, unless the exception set forth in KRS 61.932(2)(b)2 applies and the vendor abides by the requirements set forth in that exception.

The vendor hereby agrees to undertake a prompt and reasonable investigation of any breach as required by KRS 61.933.

Upon conclusion of an investigation of a security breach of Personal Information as required by KRS 61.933, the vendor hereby agrees to an apportionment of the costs of the notification, investigation, and mitigation of the security breach.

In accordance with KRS 61.932(2)(a) the vendor shall implement, maintain, and update security and breach investigation procedures that are appropriate to the nature of the information disclosed, that are at least as stringent as the security and breach investigation procedures and practices established by the Commonwealth Office of Technology:
