This is an attachment document establishing security and privacy expectations for third-party contractors accessing the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) and Oregon Health Authority (OHA) network in connection with Care Coordination Services for OHP Open Card. The document provides comprehensive definitions of key security and privacy terms including access, breach, client records, data, incidents, and information assets. Contractors are required to notify ODHS|OHA of any incidents or breaches within 24 hours of discovery and must comply with all applicable state and federal laws, regulations, and Oregon policies governing data use and disclosure, including Oregon's Statewide Information Security Standards, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and the Oregon Consumer Identity Theft Protection Act. Contractors must establish and maintain a documented security risk management plan that meets or exceeds applicable standards for safeguarding information assets and client records across all media types.

The agreement establishes strict requirements for contractor responsibilities regarding user accounts, system access, data handling, and audit rights. Contractors are responsible for all activities occurring through their assigned access, including implementing safeguards to prevent unauthorized access and prohibiting access from outside the United States and its territories unless approved through exception request processes. Contractors must ensure employees, subcontractors, and agents receive periodic privacy and security training and are prohibited from data mining, selling, or distributing information assets for unauthorized purposes. Upon contract expiration or termination, contractors must dispose of all state data in accordance with NIST SP 800-88 standards and may not retain copies except as required for records maintenance. ODHS|OHA retains audit rights and may immediately revoke access in cases of breach or wrongful use of data, with potential legal action for regulatory violations.

“Breach” means the acquisition, access, exposure, use, disclosure, of an Information Asset (such as Data) in a manner not in compliance with applicable law, rule, or policy, or data loss, misuse, or compromise.

“Client Records” includes any client, applicant, or participant information regardless of the media or source, exchanged between the parties. Client Records may be for clients of ODHS|OHA, Contractor, both, or another entity.

“Data” means information created, transmitted, and stored pursuant to this Agreement, including metadata, personal information, and Client Records.

“Incident” means the attempted or successful unexpected or unwanted unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of any Network and Information System or Information Asset. An Incident is an observable, measurable occurrence that is a deviation from expected operations or activities. An incident may be a Breach, failure to protect a User’s identification (ID), or theft of computer equipment that uses or stores any de-identified Data.

“Individual Access Request (IAR)” refers to the Agencies’ form used to authorize a User, identify the User’s job assignment, and the required access to Network and Information System(s). It generates a unique alpha/numeric code used to access the Agencies’ Network and Information Systems.

“Information Asset(s)” refers to all information provided through the Agencies, regardless of the source, which requires measures for security and privacy. Includes Data.
