TECHNICAL EXHIBIT 2

CYBERSECURITY REQUIREMENTS

1.0 General:

This exhibit provides detailed cybersecurity requirements for this PWS. Upon Contractor request the Government will provide a review of documents before official submittals. Cybersecurity will be placed on the agenda of the post award orientation meeting for further discussion upon contractor request.

2.0 Completion and Government Acceptance of the System(s) Security Plan:

IAW DoDI 8510.01, Risk Management Framework (RMF), all DoD Information Systems and Platform Information Technology (PIT) systems are required to obtain an Authority to Operate (ATO) via the RMF process. The DISA Enterprise Mission Assurance Support Service (eMASS) is the tool used for producing and submitting a System Security Plan that meets the requirements of RMF, in order to obtain an ATO.

3.0 Completion and Government Acceptance of Cybersecurity Artifacts and Other Required Cybersecurity Documents:

Contractor shall develop and upload into eMASS, all required artifacts and supporting documentation. This effort should result in the creation of a System Security Plan (SSP) packet. The required artifacts are determined by the system security classification, system categorization, and cybersecurity controls. This information may include but is not limited to the list below:

a) System Description Statement

b) Configuration Management Plan

c) Disaster Recovery Plan

d) Continuity of Operations

e) Contingency Plan

f) Incidence Response Plan

g) Risk Assessment Report

h) Plan of Action and Milestones (POAM)

i) System Architecture / Topology / Data Flow

j) Configuration Validation Checklist

k) Security Classification Guide

l) System Configuration Guide

m) Hardware Inventory List (use the CIO/G-6 template)

n) Software Inventory List (use the CIO/G-6 template)

o) Physical Security Plan

p) Personnel Security Plan

q) Information Assurance Vulnerability Management (IAVM) Process

r) Patch Management Process, Connection Approval / System Approval documentation

s) Ports, Protocols, and Services (PPS) List

t) Active Directory (AD) Documentation, (if applicable) The data representing this information may either be uploaded directly, or cut and pasted, into eMASS for each applicable control. In addition, eMASS will provide a rollup of inherited controls for each system once it has been properly identified and classified within eMASS. It is recommended that the current version of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cyber Security Evaluation Tool (CSET) be used as a development tool for eMASS artifacts.

4.0 Completion of Scan/Fix/Scan Testing and Analysis:

This work is performed before the Security Control Assessor (SCA) assesses the system(s) and provides a certification recommendation to the Authorizing Official (AO). Contractor shall assess (scan and perform manual checks) its own system using approved cybersecurity scanning tools. When issues are found (High, Medium, Low Impact Levels) Contractor shall fix those issues and rescan the system to ensure all issues have been fixed and/or properly and acceptably mitigated. High impact level findings that cannot be fixed are to be reported to the Government immediately along with a valid reason the vulnerability cannot be fixed and a mitigation plan to fix the vulnerability in the future. The goal is for the system to have a proper cybersecurity posture before the SCA comes in to assess the system. The scan/fix/scan process should find and fix all issues before the SCA’s assessment.
