About this file
This is an attachment document outlining personal information security and breach investigation procedures required by the Commonwealth of Kentucky under the Personal Information Security and Breach Investigation Procedures and Practices Act (KRS 61.931, et seq.). The document applies to vendors receiving personal information as defined by Kentucky law, including combinations of names, identification numbers, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers, and health information as defined under HIPAA. Vendors must implement and maintain security procedures that meet or exceed the standards established by the Commonwealth Office of Technology and must immediately notify the contracting agency, Office of Procurement Services, Commonwealth Office of Technology, and NG-KIH Program Office within seventy-two hours of determining or becoming aware of a security breach, unless specific exceptions apply.
Vendors are required to undertake prompt and reasonable investigations of any security breaches and agree to share costs associated with notification, investigation, and mitigation efforts. The Commonwealth may withhold payments owed to vendors for violations of identity theft prevention reporting requirements. Vendors must maintain security and breach investigation procedures appropriate to the nature of information disclosed and comply with all applicable requirements for non-affiliated third parties as outlined in the Act, with detailed security policies and standards available through the Commonwealth Office of Technology's information security resource page.
