About this file

This exhibit M document outlines the information security and privacy control requirements that contractors must implement to maintain a business relationship with Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) under RFQ No. HHS0017782. The document establishes mandatory compliance standards based on the data types accessed, created, disclosed, received, transmitted, maintained, or stored within information systems covered by the contract. Contractors are required to adhere to applicable state laws, federal laws, executive orders, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance, including the NIST SP 800-53R5 security baseline equivalent and DIR overlays. The contract specifies that contractors must implement additional controls as standards and regulations are updated, and when multiple applicable regulations require the same control, the most restrictive requirements must be applied.

The document identifies comprehensive security and privacy control requirements derived from Texas HHS standards, state and federal regulations including the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) Security Control Standards Catalog, Texas Risk and Authorization Management Program (TX-RAMP), Texas Administrative Code 202, Texas Government Code 2054, and federal standards such as NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5, HIPAA, and CMS-MARS-E. Table 1 provides an extensive baseline of 250+ required security and privacy controls spanning access control, account management, audit and accountability, contingency planning, identification and authentication, incident response, maintenance, media protection, physical and environmental protection, risk assessment, system and communications protection, and supply chain risk management. Contractors are required to fulfill ongoing HHS monitoring requirements for continuing compliance as outlined in the Information Security Risk Management Policy, with documentation required establishing when Texas HHS serves as the provider for specified controls.
