About this file

This is a Service Provider Security Assessment Questionnaire attachment for a website redesign project with the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS). The questionnaire is designed to evaluate the security capabilities and practices of potential service providers who will have access to government information during the contract performance. Bidders must provide comprehensive responses addressing 12 specific areas of security assessment, including policies for limiting access to government information, disaster recovery and business continuity planning, employee and contractor vetting procedures, security policies for subcontractors, and relevant third-party certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001 or AICPA SOC 2 compliance reports. Responses must also address physical security measures for data centers, encryption protocols for data at rest and in transit, breach detection controls, audit logging procedures, post-contract data management and destruction, and incident response policies. The questionnaire requires identification of any third parties that will host or access government information.

The questionnaire must be signed by an authorized representative of the contractor attesting to the accuracy of the information provided. Responses should include cross-references to the specific questions and attach additional documentation as appropriate. The completed questionnaire is required in conjunction with two related clauses: the Service Provider Security Assessment Questionnaire - Required clause and the Service Provider Security Representation clause. The questionnaire format is identified as SPSAQ (FEB 2015) [09-9025-1]. No pricing, set-aside information, incumbency status, or specific contract term dates are addressed in this security assessment document.
