1. SCOPE

a. The labor categories, prices, terms and conditions stated under Special Item Number 54151HACS Highly Adaptive Cybersecurity Services (HACS) apply exclusively to Highly

Tetrad Digital Integrity LLC GS-35F-0414U Page 8

Adaptive Cybersecurity Services within the scope of this Information Technology Schedule.

b. Services under this SIN are limited to Highly Adaptive Cybersecurity Services only.

Software and hardware products are under different Special Item Numbers on IT Schedule 70 (e.g. 511210, 33411), and may be quoted along with services to provide a total solution.

c. This SIN provides ordering activities with access to Highly Adaptive Cybersecurity services only.

d. Highly Adaptive Cybersecurity Services provided under this SIN shall comply with all Cybersecurity certifications and industry standards as applicable pertaining to the type of services as specified by ordering agency.

e. SCOPE:

54151HACS Highly Adaptive Cybersecurity Services (HACS) - SUBJECT TO COOPERATIVE PURCHASING - includes proactive and reactive cybersecurity services that improve the customer’s enterprise-level security posture.

The scope of this category encompasses a wide range of fields that include, but are not limited to, Risk Management Framework (RMF) services, information assurance (IA), virus detection, network management, situational awareness and incident response, secure web hosting, and backup and security services.

The seven-step RMF includes preparation, information security categorization; control selection, implementation, and assessment; system and common control authorizations; and continuous monitoring.

RMF activities may also include Information Security Continuous Monitoring Assessment (ISCMA) which evaluate organization-wide ISCM implementations, and also Federal Incident Response Evaluations (FIREs), which assess an organization’s incident management functions.

The scope of this category also includes Security Operations Center (SOC) services. The SOC scope includes services such as: 24x7x365 monitoring and analysis, traffic analysis, incident response and coordination, penetration testing, anti-virus management, intrusion detection and prevention, and information sharing.

HACS vendors are able to identify and protect a customer’s information resources, detect and respond to cybersecurity events or incidents, and recover capabilities or services impaired by any incidents that emerge.

Sub-Categories - (not all vendors have been placed within the following subcategories. To view a complete list of vendors, click on the SIN)

● High Value Asset (HVA) Assessments include Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (RVA) which assesses threats and vulnerabilities, determines deviations from acceptable configurations, enterprise or local policy, assesses the level of risk, and develops and/or recommends appropriate mitigation countermeasures in operational and non-operational situations. The services offered in the RVA subcategory include Network Mapping, Tetrad Digital Integrity LLC GS-35F-0414U Page 9

Vulnerability Scanning, Phishing Assessment, Wireless Assessment, Web Application Assessment, Operating System Security Assessment (OSSA), Database Assessment, and Penetration Testing. Security Architecture Review (SAR) evaluates a subset of the agency’s HVA security posture to determine whether the agency has properly architected its cybersecurity solutions and ensures that agency leadership fully understands the risks inherent in the implemented cybersecurity solution. The SAR process utilizes in-person interviews, documentation reviews, and leading practice evaluations of the HVA environment and supporting systems. SAR provides a holistic analysis of how an HVA’s individual security components integrate and operate, including how data is protected during operations. Systems Security Engineering (SSE) identifies security vulnerabilities and minimizes or contains risks associated with these vulnerabilities spanning the Systems Development Life Cycle. SSE focuses on, but is not limited to the following security areas:

perimeter security, network security, endpoint security, application security, physical security, and data security.

● Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (RVA) assesses threats and vulnerabilities, determines deviations from acceptable configurations, enterprise or local policy, assesses the level of risk, and develops and/or recommends appropriate mitigation countermeasures in operational and non-operational situations. The services offered in the RVA sub-category include Network Mapping, Vulnerability Scanning, Phishing Assessment, Wireless Assessment, Web Application Assessment, Operating System Security Assessment (OSSA), Database Assessment, and Penetration Testing.

● Cyber Hunt activities respond to crises or urgent situations within the pertinent domain to mitigate immediate and potential threats. Cyber Hunts start with the premise that threat actors known to target some organizations in a specific industry or with specific systems are likely to also target other organizations in the same industry or with the same systems.

● Incident Response services help organizations impacted by a cybersecurity compromise determine the extent of the incident, remove the adversary from their systems, and restore their networks to a more secure state.

● Penetration Testing is security testing in which assessors mimic real-world attacks to identify methods for circumventing the security features of an application, system, or network.
