1769CS County Agreement 5-1-2019
(2) When being transported outside of a Secure Area, Portable Devices and Portable Media with
DSHS Confidential Information must be under the physical control of Contractor staff with
authorization to access the Data, even if the Data is encrypted
h Data stored for backup purposes
(1) DSHS Confidential Information may be stored on Portable Media as part of a Contractor's
existing, documented backup process for business continuity or disaster recovery purposes
Such storage is authorized until such time as that media would be reused during the course of
normal backup operations If backup media is retired while DSHS Confidential Information still
exists upon it such media will be destroyed at that time in accordance with the disposition
requirements below in Section 8 Data Disposition
(2) Data may be stored on non-portable media (e g Storage Area Network drives virtual media,
etc) as part of a Contractor's existing, documented backup process for business continuity or
disaster recovery purposes If so, such media will be protected as otherwise described in this
exhibit If this media is retired while DSHS Confidential Information still exists upon it, the data
will be destroyed at that time in accordance with the disposition requirements below in Section 8
Data Disposition
I Cloud storage DSHS Confidential Information requires protections equal to or greater than those
specified elsewhere within this exhibit Cloud storage of Data is problematic as neither DSHS nor
the Contractor has control of the environment in which the Data is stored For this reason
(1) DSHS Data will not be stored in any consumer grade Cloud solution, unless all of the following
conditions are met
(a) Contractor has written procedures in place governing use of the Cloud storage and
Contractor attest to the contact listed in the contract and keep a copy of that attestation for
your records in writing that all such procedures will be uniformly followed
(b)The Data will be Encrypted while within the Contractor network
(c) The Data will remain Encrypted during transmission to the Cloud

on the contractor network
(g) The Data will not be decrypted until downloaded onto a computer within the control of an
Authorized User and within either the DSHS or Contractor's network
(2) Data will not be stored on an Enterprise Cloud storage solution unless either
(a) The Cloud storage provider is treated as any other Sub-Contractor, and agrees in writing to
all of the requirements within this exhibit or
(b) The Cloud storage solution used is HIPAA compliant
Page 21
DSHS Central Contract Services
1769CS County Agreement 5-1-2019
(3) If the Data includes protected health information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Cloud provider must sign a Business Associate Agreement prior
to Data being stored in their Cloud solution
6 System Protection To prevent compromise of systems which contain DSHS Data or through which
that Data passes
a Systems containing DSHS Data must have all security patches or hotfixes applied within 3 months
of being made available
b The Contractor will have a method of ensuring that the requisite patches and hotfixes have been
applied within the required timeframes
c Systems containing DSHS Data shall have an Anti-Malware application, if available installed
d Anti-Malware software shall be kept up to date The product, its anti-virus engine, and any malware
database the system uses will be no more than one update behind current
7 Data Segregation
a DSHS category 4 data must be segregated or otherwise distinguishable from non-DSHS data This
is to ensure that when no longer needed by the Contractor, all DSHS Data can be identified for
return or destruction It also aids in determining whether DSHS Data has or may have been
compromised in the event of a security breach As such, one or more of the following methods will
be used for data segregation
(1) DSHS Data will be kept on media (e g hard disk, optical disc, tape, etc ) which will contain no
non-DSHS Data
(2) DSHS Data will be stored in a logical container on electronic media such as a partition or folder
dedicated to DSHS Data
(3) DSHS Data will be stored in a database which will contain no non-DSHS data And/or
(4) DSHS Data will be stored within a database and will be distinguishable from non DSHS data by
the value of a specific field or fields within database records
(5) When stored as physical paper documents, DSHS Data will be physically segregated from non-
DSHS data in a drawer, folder, or other container
b When it is not feasible or practical to segregate DSHS Data from non-DSHS data then both the
DSHS Data and the non-DSHS data with which it is commingled must be protected as described in
this exhibit
8 Data Disposition When the contracted work has been completed or when the Data is no longer
needed except as noted above in Section 5 b, Data shall be returned to DSHS or destroyed Media on
which Data may be stored and associated acceptable methods of destruction are as follows
Data stored on Will be destroyed by
Server or workstation hard disks, or Using a "wipe" utility which will overwrite the Data at
least three (3) times using either random or single
Removable media (e g floppies, USB flash drives, character data, or
portable hard disks) excluding optical discs
Page 22
DSHS Central Contract Services
1769CS County Agreement 5 1 2019
Degaussing sufficiently to ensure that the Data
cannot be reconstructed, or
Physically destroying the disk
Paper documents with sensitive or Confidential Recycling through a contracted firm, provided the
Information contract with the recycler assures that the
confidentiality of Data will be protected
Paper documents containing Confidential Information On-site shredding, pulping, or incineration
requiring special handling (e.g protected health
information)
Optical discs (e.g CDs or DVDs) Incineration, shredding, or completely defacing the
readable surface with a coarse abrasive
Magnetic tape Degaussing, incinerating or crosscut shredding
9 Notification of Compromise or Potential Compromise The compromise or potential compromise of
DSHS shared Data must be reported to the DSHS Contact designated in the Contract within one (1)
business day of discovery If no DSHS Contact is designated in the Contract then the notification must
be reported to the DSHS Privacy Officer at dshsprivacyofficer @dshs wa gov Contractor must also
take actions to mitigate the risk of loss and comply with any notification or other requirements imposed
by law or DSHS
10 Data shared with Subcontractors If DSHS Data provided under this Contract is to be shared with a
subcontractor, the Contract with the subcontractor must include all of the data security provisions within
this Contract and within any amendments, attachments, or exhibits within this Contract If the
Contractor cannot protect the Data as articulated within this Contract then the contract with the sub-
Contractor must be submitted to the DSHS Contact specified for this contract for review and approval
