About this file
This is a Service Provider Security Assessment Questionnaire attachment for the South Carolina Medicaid Data Consulting Services contract opportunity. The questionnaire is a mandatory compliance document that requires prospective service providers to comprehensively address their information security protocols and practices. Contractors must provide detailed responses covering eleven core security domains, including access control policies, disaster recovery and business continuity planning, employee and subcontractor vetting procedures, third-party contractor management, and relevant security certifications from accredited auditors such as ISO/IEC 27001, AICPA SOC 2 Type 2, or SysTrust/WebTrust seals. The document specifies that responses must address encryption requirements for data at rest, in transit, and during backup; physical security measures for data centers; breach detection and audit logging mechanisms; and incident response protocols.
The questionnaire requires contractors to identify all third parties with access to government information and to detail data management procedures upon contract termination, including deletion and destruction timelines. Contractors must provide incident response policies and practices, along with information regarding safeguards preventing unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse of government information. Authorized company representatives must sign the completed questionnaire, certifying the accuracy of all submitted information. The form instructs offerors to attach supporting documentation as necessary and to cross-reference responses to specific questions. Contractors must commit to maintaining security certifications throughout the contract duration and to providing the state with updated compliance documentation as it becomes available.
