About this file
This is a Service Provider Security Assessment Questionnaire attachment for a South Carolina state contract opportunity for Gifted and Talented Application Software. The questionnaire is a mandatory security compliance document that prospective service providers must complete and submit with their proposals. Contractors must comprehensively address eleven core security requirements and provide detailed responses regarding their policies, procedures, and practices related to the handling, protection, and management of government information throughout the contract lifecycle.
The questionnaire requires contractors to document their access control policies, employee and contractor vetting procedures, sub-contractor management practices, and third-party security certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001 compliance or AICPA SOC 2 Type 2 reports. Contractors must describe physical security measures at data centers, encryption protocols for data at rest and in transit, breach detection and incident response capabilities, and audit logging practices. Additionally, contractors must specify how government information will be destroyed or deleted upon contract termination, identify all third parties with access to government data, and confirm their ability to provide current and future compliance certificates to the state. All responses must be signed by an authorized company representative attesting to the accuracy of the information provided.
