About this file

This document is an attachment to a Request for Bids (RFB 758) issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky establishing personal information security and breach investigation requirements for vendors. The attachment outlines compliance obligations for any vendor receiving Personal Information as defined under Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 61.931 et seq., including data elements such as account numbers, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers, and health information covered under HIPAA. Vendors must implement, maintain, and update security procedures that are at least as stringent as those established by the Commonwealth Office of Technology and must cooperate with all response, mitigation, correction, investigation, and notification requirements under the Act.

Vendors are required to notify the contracting agency, Office of Procurement Services, Commonwealth Office of Technology, and NG-KIH Program Office immediately upon discovery of a breach, with notification occurring within seventy-two hours unless specific statutory exceptions apply. The Commonwealth may withhold payment for violations of identity theft prevention reporting requirements, and vendors must undertake prompt and reasonable breach investigations as mandated by statute. Upon conclusion of any breach investigation, vendors must share in the apportionment of costs associated with notification, investigation, and mitigation activities. Vendors must comply with security standards and procedures available through the Commonwealth Office of Technology's Information Security Policies, Standards and Procedures documentation.
