56 Section 6.7 Privacy

Q: Would the State be amenable to modifying the language in Section 6.7Gb to something along the lines of the below, as it is not feasible to fulfil the requirement of having one individual available for 24 hours per day, seven days a week? designate a single contact number and email of a Security Operations Center (SOC) monitored by Contractor which shall be available to the State 24 hours per day, seven (7) days per week as a contact regarding Contractor’s obligations under Bid Solicitation Section 6.34

57 Section 6.7 Privacy

Q: Would the State be amenable to adjusting the language in Section 6.7Ge to include the language in italics?

A: The State does not accept this proposed modification. Terms and conditions

58 Section 6.7 Privacy
