Common use of Information Security Requirements Clause in Contracts

Information Security Requirements. The State of California, Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) implemented information security standards outlined in the DCSS Information Security Manual (ISM), for the purpose of maintaining the security of child support information and assets. The ISM security policies and standards apply to Applicable Organizations, defined as “any organization whose employees or contractors have access to child support information or child support IT assets”. Local Child Support Agencies are required to ensure contractors having access to such information are required to comply with Third Party Vendor IT Security Policies included in the ISM. In keeping with ISM and County requirements, Contractor shall agree to comply with the DCSS ISM and implement the following administrative, physical, and information security safeguards to ensure the integrity, security, and confidentiality of all County of Orange Department of Child Support Services (CSS) information, including but not limited to electronic files, data, paper documents and forms, for the term and length of this contract and while in possession of, maintaining, or accessing CSS information.
