About this file
The State of Wisconsin Security Rider (v8) is a comprehensive security attachment governing contractual relationships for products and services under Participating Addendum 505ENT-O26-NASPOITRSRC-02. This rider applies to all State of Wisconsin agencies and institutions eligible to expend appropriated funds, establishing mandatory security and data protection requirements for contractors providing products or services. The contractor identified in the document is Gartner, with Will McGuire serving as the Contract Manager. The rider supersedes conflicting terms in the Master Contract and any Service Level Agreements, establishing it as the controlling document for security obligations across all delivery environments including cloud-based systems (SaaS, IaaS, PaaS), on-premises infrastructure, and hybrid deployments.
The Security Rider establishes extensive data protection, access control, and compliance requirements rather than specifying goods, services, or pricing terms. Key obligations include: the State retains all ownership rights to State Data while the Contractor may retain pre-existing intellectual property; the Contractor must not collect, access, or use State Data except as necessary for contract performance and must provide an AI product disclosure list within 30 days and annually thereafter; all State Data must be processed only on systems with formal Authorization to Operate (ATO) or Authorization to Use (ATU) following NIST SP 800-53 Moderate baseline or FedRAMP Moderate Security Control Baseline standards; data must remain within United States data centers with no external personnel access from outside the country; the Contractor must maintain encryption (FIPS 140-2/3), multifactor authentication, continuous monitoring, and annual independent audits; and security incidents involving Confidential Data must be reported within 72 hours with comprehensive documentation and potential remediation including credit monitoring or liability coverage. Upon contract cancellation, all State Data must be returned in mutually agreed formats or securely destroyed per NIST 800-88 standards with certificates of destruction provided.

STATE OF WISCONSIN SECURITY RIDER
The terms and conditions of the State of Wisconsin Security Rider (hereinafter “Rider”) shall apply to all Products or Services provided under the Participating Addendum, 505ENT-O26-NASPOITRSRC-02, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. This Rider shall apply to all environments (e.g., cloud-SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, AI, on-premises, and hybrid); all computing elements performed, provided, occupied, or utilized; and any access to State resources related to the delivery of Products or Services under the Master Contract.
In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Rider, the Master Contract or any other Service Level Agreements (SLA) or agreements between the State and Contractor, this Rider shall control.
1 Definitions
1.1 “Agency” or “State Agency” means an office, department, agency, institution of higher education, association, society, or other body in State of Wisconsin government created or authorized to be created by the State Constitution or any law, which is entitled to expend moneys appropriated by law, including the legislature and the courts, but not including an authority, as defined in Wis. Stat. § 16.70(2).
1.2 “Artificial Intelligence” or “AI” means a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments.
(Source: NIST SP800-218A). Artificial Intelligence (AI) applies advanced analysis and logic-based techniques, including machine learning (ML), to interpret events, support and automate decisions, and take actions.
(Source: Gartner Glossary)
1.3 "Authorization" means the official decision by management, typically an Authorizing Official (AO), to permit an information system to operate after implementing appropriate security controls and accepting the associated risk to organizational operations and assets.
a) “Authorization to Operate” or “ATO” means a formal management decision by a State Agency to authorize an information system to operate and to explicitly accept the risk to Agency operations, assets, individuals, and the State that results from its use
b) “Authorization to Use” or “ATU” means a formal management decision by a State Agency to approve the use of an information system that has an existing Authorization. An ATU acknowledges that the
Agency has reviewed the associated security authorization package or attestation, accepted the system’s risk posture, and authorized its use to support the Agency’s mission and business purposes.

|Security Rider v8 2
1.4 “Authorized User” means any appropriately provisioned individual with a requirement to access an information system.
1.5 “Baseline” or “Security Control Baselines” means the minimum set of security and privacy controls, as defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in NIST Special Publication 800-53, Revision 5 and NIST Special Publication 800-53B, that are required for information systems categorized as
Moderate Impact under Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 199. These controls provide protection where the loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability could reasonably be expected to have a serious adverse effect on operations, assets, individuals, or the State.
For cloud-based systems, the baseline includes the FedRAMP Moderate Security Control Baseline, which incorporates the NIST Moderate controls plus additional FedRAMP-defined control enhancements, parameters, and continuous monitoring requirements necessary to safeguard Controlled Unclassified
Information (CUI) and other federal or State Data hosted in cloud environments.
1.6 “Breach” means the loss of control, compromise, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized acquisition, or any similar occurrence where: a person other than an Authorized User accesses or potentially accesses
Personally Identifiable Information; or an Authorized User accesses Personally Identifiable Information for an unauthorized purpose. The determination of whether a Breach has occurred is within the sole discretion of the State.
1.7 “Confidential Data” means any type of data that presents a high or moderate degree of risk if released, disclosed, modified, or deleted without authorization from the State. There is a high degree of risk when unauthorized release or disclosure is contrary to a legally mandated confidentiality requirement. There is a moderate risk when an Agency has discretion under the law to release data, particularly when the release must be made only according to Agency policy or procedure. Confidential Data includes, but is not limited to:
a) Personally Identifiable Information; and
b) Individually Identifiable Health Information; and
c) Federal Tax Information (FTI) under IRS Publication 1075 and bank or other financial account numbers; and
d) Criminal Justice Information under the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Criminal Justice
Information Services Security Policy and the Law Enforcement Automated Data System (LEADS)
Policy, substance use disorder records under 42 C.F.R. Part 2, and crime victim information; and
e) Certain information not associated with individuals such as State building specifications, security and infrastructure records, and trade secrets; and

In IaaS environments, the State does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure, but the State has control over operating systems, storage, and deployed applications. The State may also have limited control of select networking components (e.g., host firewalls).
1.13 “Large Language Model (LLM)” means a class of language models that use deep-learning algorithms and are trained on extremely large textual datasets that can be multiple terabytes in size. LLMs can be classed into two types: generative or discriminatory. Generative LLMs are models that output text, such as the answer to a question or even writing an essay on a specific topic. They are typically unsupervised or semi-supervised learning models that predict what the response is for a given task. Discriminatory LLMs are supervised learning models that usually focus on classifying text, such as determining whether a text was made by a human or AI. (Source: NIST AI 100-3: The Language of Trustworthy AI). A LLM is a specialized type of AI trained on vast amounts of text to understand existing content and generate original content. (Source:
Gartner Glossary)
