this contract. Notice may include notice by facsimile or email to the Contractor's
Representative. The Contractor shall suspend performance on the date stated in the written
notice to suspend. During the period of suspension of performance, each party may inform
the other of any conditions that may reasonably affect the potential for resumption of
performance.Notice may be contingent upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of a future
event; e.g. the failure of the State of Washington to pass a budget by a date specified in the
notice.

the Contractor written notice to resume performance and a proposed date to resume
performance.Upon receipt cf written notice to resume performance,the Contractor will give
written notice to the County as to whether it can resume performance, and, if so,the date
upon which it agrees to resume performance. If the Contractor gives notice to the County
that it cannot resume performance, the parties agree that the contract will be terminated
retroactive to the original date of suspension of performance. If the date the Contractor gives
notice it can resume performance is not acceptable to the County,the parties agree to discuss
an alternative acceptable date. If an alternative date is not acceptable to the County,the
Page 10 of 39
Professional Services Contract#C01-0133-21
parties agree that the contract will be terminated retroactive to the original date of
suspension of performance.

prior written approval of the County; and

Contractor's possession as directed by the County.

notice of termination, so as to circumvent section 17 (ii).

determines is necessary to protect the County against potential loss or liability resulting from

later determines that loss or liability will not occur.

and remedies provided under this contract or otherwise provided under law.

Exhibit E: Data Security Requirements
A. Definitions
The words and phrases listed below, as used in this Exhibit, shall each have the following
definitions
1. "AES"means the Advanced Encryption Standard, a specification of Federal Information
Processing Standards Publications for the encryption of electronic data issued by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology
(http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/FIPS/NIST.FIPS.197.pdf).
2. "Authorized User(s)"means an individual or individuals with a business need to access
DSHS Confidential Information,and who has or have been authorized to do so.
3. "Category 4 Data"is data that is confidential and requires special handling due to statutes
or regulations that require especially strict protection of the data and from which
especially serious consequences may arise in the event of any compromise of such data.
For purposes of this contract, data classified as Category 4 refers to data protected by: the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act(HIPAA).
4. "Cloud"means data storage on servers hosted by an entity other than the Contractor and
on a network outside the control of the Contractor. Physical storage of data in the cloud
typically spans multiple servers and often multiple locations. Cloud storage can be
divided between consumer grade storage for personal files and enterprise grade for
companies and governmental entities. Examples of consumer grade storage would
include iCloud,Dropbox,Box.com, and many other entities. Enterprise cloud vendors
include Microsoft Azure,Amazon Web Services, 0365,and Rackspace.
5. "Encrypt"means to encode Confidential Information into a format that can only be read
by those possessing a"key"; a password, digital certificate or other mechanism available
only to authorized users. Encryption must use a key length of at least 128 bits(256
preferred)for symmetric keys, or 2048 bits for asymmetric keys. When a symmetric key
is used, the Advanced Encryption Standard(AES)must be used if available.
6. "Hardened Password"means a string of at least eight characters containing at least three
of the following four character classes: Uppercase alphabetic, lowercase alphabetic,
numeral, and special characters such as an asterisk, ampersand, or exclamation point.
7. "Mobile Device"means a computing device, typically smaller than a notebook,which
runs a mobile operating system, such as iOS,Android, or Windows Phone.Mobile
Devices include smart phones,most tablets, and other form factors.
8. "Multi-factor Authentication"means controlling access to computers and other IT
resources by requiring two or more pieces of evidence that the user is who they claim to
be. These pieces of evidence consist of something the user knows, such as a password or
PIN; something the user has such as a key card, smart card, or physical token; and
something the user is, a biometric identifier such as a fingerprint, facial scan,or retinal
scan. "PIN"means a personal identification number, a series of numbers which act as a
Page 31 of 39
Professional Services Contract#C01-0133-21
password for a device. Since PINS are typically only four to six characters, PINs are
usually used in conjunction with another factor of authentication, such as a fingerprint.
9. "Portable Device"means any computing device with a small form factor, designed to be
transported from place to place. Portable devices are primarily battery powered devices
with base computing resources in the form of a processor,memory, storage, and network
access. Examples include,but are not limited to,mobile phones, tablets, and laptops.
Mobile Device is a subset of Portable Device.
10. "Portable Media"means any machine readable media that may routinely be stored or
moved independently of computing devices. Examples include magnetic tapes, optical
discs(CDs or DVDs), flash memory(thumb drive)devices, external hard drives, and
internal hard drives that have been removed from a computing device.
11. "Secure Area"means an area to which only authorized representatives of the entity
possessing the Confidential Information have access, and access is controlled through use
of a key, card key, combination lock,or comparable mechanism. Secure Areas may
include buildings,rooms or locked storage containers (such as a filing cabinet or desk
drawer)within a room, as long as access to the Confidential Information is not available
to unauthorized personnel. In otherwise Secure Areas, such as an office with restricted
access,the Data must be secured in such a way as to prevent access by non-authorized
staff such as janitorial or facility security staff,when authorized Contractor staff are not
present to ensure that non-authorized staff cannot access it.
12. "Trusted Network"means a network operated and maintained by the Contractor,which
includes security controls sufficient to protect DSHS Data on that network. Controls
would include a firewall between any other networks, access control lists on networking
devices such as routers and switches, and other such mechanisms which protect the
confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Data.
13. "Unique User ID"means a string of characters that identifies a specific user and which,
in conjunction with a password,passphrase or other mechanism, authenticates a user to
an information system.
B. Authority
The security requirements described in this document reflect the applicable requirements of
Standard 141.10 (https:!/ocio.wa.gov/policies)of the Office of the Chief Information Officer
for the state of Washington, and of the DSHS Information Security Policy and Standards
Manual. Reference material related to these requirements can be found here:
https://www.dshs.wa.gov!fsa/central-contract-services.'keehing-dshs-client-information-
private-and-secure,which is a site developed by the DSHS Information Security Office and
hosted by DSHS Central Contracts and Legal Services.
C. Administrative Controls
The Contractor must have the following controls in place:
Page 32 of 39
Professional Services Contract#COI-0133-21
1. A documented security policy governing the secure use of its computer network and
systems, and which defines sanctions that may be applied to Contractor staff for violating
that policy.
2. If the Data shared under this agreement is classified as Category 4 data, the Contractor
must be aware of and compliant with the applicable legal or regulatory requirements for
that Category 4 Data.
3. If Confidential Information shared under this agreement is classified as Category 4 data,
the Contractor must have a documented risk assessment for the system(s)housing the
Category 4 Data.
D. Authorization,Authentication,and Access
In order to ensure that access to the Data is limited to authorized staff, the Contractor must:
1. Have documented policies and procedures governing access to systems with the shared
Data.
2. Restrict access through administrative,physical, and technical controls to authorized
staff.
3. Ensure that user accounts are unique and that any given user account logon ID and
password combination is known only to the one employee to whom that account is
assigned. For purposes of non-repudiation, it must always be possible to determine
which employee performed a given action on a system housing the Data based solely on
the logon ID used to perform the action.
4. Ensure that only authorized users are capable of accessing the Data.
5. Ensure that an employee's access to the Data is removed immediately:
a. Upon suspected compromise of the user credentials.
b. When their employment, or the contract under which the Data is made available to
them, is terminated.
c. When they no longer need access to the Data to fulfill the requirements of the
contract.
6. Have a process to periodically review and verify that only authorized users have access to
systems containing DSHS Confidential Information.
7. When accessing the Data from within the Contractor's network(the Data stays within the
Contractor's network at all times),enforce password and logon requirements for users
within the Contractor's network, including:
a. A minimum length of 8 characters, and containing at least three of the following
character classes: uppercase letters, lowercase letters,numerals, and special
characters such as an asterisk, ampersand,or exclamation point.
Page 33 of 39
Professional Services Contract##C01-0133-21
b. That a password does not contain a user's name, logon ID, or any form of their full
name.
c. That a password does not consist of a single dictionary word. A password may be
formed as a passphrase, which consists of multiple dictionary words.
d. That passwords are significantly different from the previous four passwords.
8. When accessing Confidential Information from an external location(the Data will
traverse the Internet or otherwise travel outside the Contractor's network), mitigate risk
and enforce password and logon requirements for users by employing measures
including:
a. Ensuring mitigations applied to the system do not allow end-user modification.
b. Not allowing the use of dial-up connections.
c. Using industry standard protocols and solutions for remote access. Examples include,
but are not limited to RADIUS)and Citrix.
d. Encrypting all remote access traffic from the external workstation to Trusted Network
or to a component within the Trusted Network. The traffic must be encrypted at all
times while traversing any network,including the Internet, which is not a Trusted
Network.
e. Ensuring that the remote access system prompts for re-authentication or performs
automated session termination after no more than 30 minutes of inactivity.
f. Ensuring use of Multi-factor Authentication to connect from the external end point to
the internal end point.
9. Passwords or PIN codes may meet a lesser standard if used in conjunction with another
authentication mechanism, such as a biometric(fingerprint, face recognition, iris scan)or
token(software,hardware, smart card, etc.) in that case:
a. The PIN or password must be at least 5 letters or numbers when used in conjunction
with at least one other authentication factor
b. Must not be comprised of all the same letter or number(11111, 22222, aaaaa,would
not be acceptable)
c. Must not contain a"run"of three or more consecutive numbers(12398, 98743 would
not be acceptable)
10. If the contract specifically allows for the storage of Confidential Information on a
Mobile Device,passcodes used on the device must:
a. Be a minimum of six alphanumeric characters.
b. Contain at least three unique character classes(upper case, lower case, letter,
number).
c. Not contain more than a three consecutive character run. Passcodes consisting of
12345, or abcd12 would not be acceptable.
11. Render the device unusable after a maximum of 10 failed logon attempts.
Page 34 of 39
Professional Services Contract#C01-0133-21
E. Protection of Data
The Contractor agrees to store Data on one or more of the following media and protect the
Data as described:
1. Hard disk drives. For Data stored on local workstation hard disks, access to the Data
will be restricted to Authorized User(s)by requiring logon to the local workstation using
a Unique User ID and Hardened Password or other authentication mechanisms which
provide equal or greater security, such as biometrics or smart cards.
2. Network server disks. For Data stored on hard disks mounted on network servers and
made available through shared folders, access to the Data will be restricted to Authorized
Users through the use of access control lists which will grant access only after the
Authorized User has authenticated to the network using a Unique User ID and Hardened
Password or other authentication mechanisms which provide equal or greater security,
such as biometrics or smart cards. Data on disks mounted to such servers must be located
in an area which is accessible only to authorized personnel,with access controlled
through use of a key, card key, combination lock, or comparable mechanism.
For DSHS Confidential Information stored on these disks, deleting unneeded Data is
sufficient as long as the disks remain in a Secure Area and otherwise meet the
requirements listed in the above paragraph. Destruction of the Data, as outlined below in
Section 8 Data Disposition,may be deferred until the disks are retired, replaced, or
otherwise taken out of the Secure Area.
3. Optical discs (CDs or DVDs)in local workstation optical disc drives. Data provided
by DSHS on optical discs which will be used in local workstation optical disc drives and
which will not be transported out of a Secure Area. When not in use for the contracted
purpose, such discs must be Stored in a Secure Area. Workstations which access DSHS
Data on optical discs must be located in an area which is accessible only to authorized
personnel, with access controlled through use of a key, card key, combination lock,or
comparable mechanism.
4. Optical discs (CDs or DVDs)in drives or jukeboxes attached to servers. Data
provided by DSHS on optical discs which will be attached to network servers and which
will not be transported out of a Secure Area. Access to Data on these discs will be
restricted to Authorized Users through the use of access control lists which will grant
access only after the Authorized User has authenticated to the network using a Unique
User ID and Hardened Password or other authentication mechanisms which provide
equal or greater security, such as biometrics or smart cards. Data on discs attached to
such servers must be located in an area which is accessible only to authorized personnel,
with access controlled through use of a key, card key, combination lock, or comparable
mechanism.
5. Paper documents. Any paper records must be protected by storing the records in a
Secure Area which is only accessible to authorized personnel. When not in use, such
records must be stored in a Secure Area.
Page 35 of 39
Professional Services Contract#C01-0133-21
6. Remote Access. Access to and use of the Data over the State Governmental Network
(SGN) or Secure Access Washington(SAW)will be controlled by DSHS staff who will
issue authentication credentials (e.g. a Unique User ID and Hardened Password)to
Authorized Users on Contractor's staff. Contractor will notify DSHS staff immediately
whenever an Authorized User in possession of such credentials is terminated or
otherwise leaves the employ of the Contractor, and whenever an Authorized User's
duties change such that the Authorized User no longer requires access to perform work
for this Contract.
7. Data storage on portable devices or media
a. Except where otherwise specified herein, DSHS Data shall not be stored by the
Contractor on portable devices or media unless specifically authorized within the
terms and conditions of the Contract. If so authorized,the Data shall be given the
following protections:
i. Encrypt the Data.
ii. Control access to devices with a Unique User ID and Hardened Password or
stronger authentication method such as a physical token or biometrics.
iii. Manually lock devices whenever they are left unattended and set devices to lock
automatically after a period of inactivity, if this feature is available. Maximum
period of inactivity is 20 minutes.
iv. Apply administrative and physical security controls to Portable Devices and
Portable Media by:
(1) Keeping them in a Secure Area when not in use,
(2) Using check-in/check-out procedures when they are shared, and
(3) Taking frequent inventories.
b. 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.
8. Data stored for backup purposes.
a. 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.
b. 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.
9. 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
Page 36 of 39
Professional Services Contract#C01-0133-21
DSHS nor the Contractor has control of the environment in which the Data is stored.
For this reason:
a. DSHS Data will not be stored in any consumer grade Cloud solution,unless all of
the following conditions are met:
i. 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.
ii. The Data will be Encrypted while within the Contractor network.
iii. The Data will remain Encrypted during transmission to the Cloud.
iv. The Data will remain Encrypted at all times while residing within the Cloud
storage solution.
v. The Contractor will possess a decryption key for the Data, and the decryption
key will be possessed only by the Contractor.
vi. The Data will not be downloaded to non-authorized systems,meaning systems
that are not on the contractor network.
vii. The Data will not be decrypted until downloaded onto a computer within the
control of an Authorized User and within the contractor's network.
b. Data will not be stored on an Enterprise Cloud storage solution unless either:
i. The Cloud storage provider is treated as any other Sub-Contractor, and agrees
in writing to all of the requirements within this exhibit; or,
ii. The Cloud storage solution used is HIPAA compliant.
c. 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.
F. 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:
Page 37 of 39
Professional Services Contract#C01-0133-21
i. DSHS Data will be kept on media(e.g. hard disk, optical disc,tape, etc.)which
will contain no non-DSHS Data.
ii. DSHS Data will be stored in a logical container on electronic media, such as a
partition or folder dedicated to DSHS Data.
iii. DSHS Data will be stored in a database which will contain no non-DSHS data.
And/or,
iv. 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.
v. 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 DSHS Data is no longer needed,
except as noted above in Section 5.b, DSHS 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
Removable media(e.g. floppies,USB flash or single character data,or
drives,portable hard disks)excluding optical
discs 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
Information the contract with the recycler assures that the
confidentiality of Data will be protected.
Paper documents containing Confidential On-site shredding,pulping,incineration,or
Information requiring special handling(e.g. contractor
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
Page 38 of 39
Professional Services Contract#C01-0133-21
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.
