Apply administrative and physical security controls to Portable Devices and Portable Media by: i. Keeping them in a Secure Area when not in use, ii. Using check-in/check-out procedures when they are shared,and iii. Taking frequent inventories. 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. Cascade Community Connections-Community Inclusion Contract 2021-2022 Page 7 of 26 c. The Data will remain Encrypted during transmission to the Cloud. d. The Data will remain Encrypted at all times while residing within the Cloud storage solution. e. The Contractor will possess a decryption key for the Data, and the decryption key will be possessed only by the Contractor. f. The Data will not be downloaded to non-authorized systems,meaning systems that are not 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 the 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. 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. (32) 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. (33) 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. (34) 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 Removable media(e.g. floppies,USB flash drives, Data at least three(3)times using either random or portable hard disks)excluding optical discs single character data,or Degaussing sufficiently to ensure that the Data cannot be reconstructed,or Cascade Community Connections-Community Inclusion Contract 2021-2022 Page 8 of 26 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.
