About this file
This file is a Service Provider Security Assessment Questionnaire (SPSAQ) attachment for a South Carolina state and local contract opportunity related to Legal Case Management Software. The questionnaire serves as a mandatory security compliance document that prospective service providers must complete and submit with their proposals. Bidders are required to provide detailed responses addressing eleven comprehensive security assessment areas, including access control policies, disaster recovery and business continuity planning, employee and contractor vetting procedures, contractor and subcontractor management protocols, and third-party security certifications. The document requires responses to be cross-referenced to specific questions and supplemented with additional documentation as needed.
The questionnaire mandates that service providers disclose all relevant security certifications from accredited third parties (such as ISO/IEC 27001, AICPA SOC 2 Type 2, or SysTrust/WebTrust seals) and confirm their maintenance throughout the contract period. Respondents must elaborate on encryption standards for data at rest, in transit, and during backup; physical security measures for data centers; breach detection controls and audit logging practices; incident response policies; post-contract information management and destruction procedures; and identification of any third parties with access to government information. The completed questionnaire must be signed by an authorized company representative who attests to the accuracy of all provided information. The document is dated February 2015 and serves as a critical security evaluation tool to ensure adequate safeguards for the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of government information throughout the contract period.
