About this file

This document is an External Third-Party Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Questionnaire for Denver Health, specifically focused on evaluating cybersecurity practices and capabilities of potential technology partners or service providers. The comprehensive assessment covers multiple domains of cybersecurity including security governance, organizational security, operational security management, access control, mobile device management, application security, and cloud services. The questionnaire is structured with detailed sections that address critical aspects such as information security policies, background screening, security awareness training, change management, data encryption, vulnerability assessments, access controls, multi-factor authentication, and compliance with various international security standards like ISO.

The questionnaire appears designed to thoroughly vet potential technology vendors and service providers by examining their security posture across multiple dimensions, with specific attention to how they might interact with Denver Health's systems and data. Key areas of focus include data transmission locations, hosting environments, network segmentation, federated identity capabilities, data classification, and potential third-party access. While no specific contract value or procurement timeline is explicitly stated, the document suggests a rigorous process for evaluating cybersecurity risks before engaging with external technology partners, with particular emphasis on protecting sensitive healthcare-related information and ensuring comprehensive security controls are in place.
