About this file

This is a Service Provider Security Assessment Questionnaire attachment for a South Carolina eProcurement Solution contract opportunity. The questionnaire requires contractors to provide detailed information regarding their security policies, procedures, and certifications to ensure the protection of government information throughout the contract term.

Contractors must respond to twelve key assessment areas: employee and contractor access controls to government information; disaster recovery and business continuity plans; vetting procedures for personnel with access to government data; security policies governing contractors and sub-contractors; third-party security certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001 or AICPA SOC 2 Type 2 reports with scope descriptions and commitments to maintain current certifications; physical security measures for data centers and hosting facilities; encryption protocols for data at rest, in transit, and during backup operations; safeguards against unauthorized access or disclosure; breach detection controls and audit logging procedures; data management and destruction protocols following contract termination; incident response policies; and identification of any third parties with access to government information. The completed questionnaire must be signed by an authorized representative attesting to the accuracy of the information provided, and contractors may submit additional documentation as needed to support their responses.
