Standard 141.10 (https://ocio.wa.goy/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/keeping-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.
Administrative Controls. The Contractor must have the following controls in place:
DSHS Central Contracts and Legal services
2068PC CA Personal service Contract (05-12-17) Page 23
a. 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.
b. If the Data shared under this agreement is classified as Category 4, the Contractor must be aware
of and compliant with the applicable legal or regulatory requirements for that Category 4 Data.
c. If Confidential Information shared under this agreement is classified as Category 4, the Contractor
must have a documented risk assessment for the system(s) housing the Category 4 Data.
4. Authorization, Authentication, and Access. In order to ensure that access to the Data is limited to
authorized staff, the Contractor must:
a. Have documented policies and procedures governing access to systems with the shared Data.
b. Restrict access through administrative, physical, and technical controls to authorized staff.
c. 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.
d. Ensure that only authorized users are capable of accessing the Data.
e. Ensure that an employee's access to the Data is removed immediately:
(1) Upon suspected compromise of the user credentials.
(2) When their employment, or the contract under which the Data is made available to them, is
terminated.
(3) When they no longer need access to the Data to fulfill the requirements of the contract.
f. Have a process to periodically review and verify that only authorized users have access to systems
containing DSHS Confidential Information.
g. 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:
(1) 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.
(2) That a password does not contain a user's name, logon ID, or any form of their full name.
(3) 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.
(4) That passwords are significantly different from the previous four passwords. Passwords that
increment by simply adding a number are not considered significantly different.
DSHS Central Contracts and Legal Services
2068PC CA Personal Service Contract (05-12-17) Page 24
h. 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:
(1) Ensuring mitigations applied to the system don't allow end-user modification.
(2) Not allowing the use of dial-up connections.
(3) Using industry standard protocols and solutions for remote access. Examples would include
RADIUS and Citrix.
(4) 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.
(5) Ensuring that the remote access system prompts for re -authentication or performs automated
session termination after no more than 30 minutes of inactivity.
(6) Ensuring use of Multi -factor Authentication to connect from the external end point to the internal
end point.
i. 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:
(1) The PIN or password must be at least 5 letters or numbers when used in conjunction with at
least one other authentication factor
(2) Must not be comprised of all the same letter or number (11111, 22222, aaaaa, would not be
acceptable)
(3) Must not contain a "run" of three or more consecutive numbers (12398, 98743 would not be
acceptable)
j. If the contract specifically allows for the storage of Confidential Information on a Mobile Device,
passcodes used on the device must:
(1) Be a minimum of six alphanumeric characters.
(2) Contain at least three unique character classes (upper case, lower case, letter, number).
(3) Not contain more than a three consecutive character run. Passcodes consisting of 12345, or
abcd12 would not be acceptable.
k. Render the device unusable after a maximum of 10 failed logon attempts.
5. Protection of Data. The Contractor agrees to store Data on one or more of the following media and
protect the Data as described:
a. 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
DSHS Central Contracts and Legal Services
2068PC CA Personal Service Contract (05-12-17) Page 25
and Hardened Password or other authentication mechanisms which provide equal or greater
security, such as biometrics or smart cards.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. 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.
g. Data storage on portable devices or media.
(1) 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:
DSHS Central Contracts and Legal Services
2068PC CA Personal Service Contract (05-12-17) Page 26
(a) Encrypt the Data.
(b) Control access to devices with a Unique User ID and Hardened Password or stronger
authentication method such as a physical token or biometrics.
(c) 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.
(d) 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 attests 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.
DSHS Central Contracts and Legal Services
2068PC CA Personal service Contract (05-12-17) Page 27
(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 and/or DSHS.
(f) The Data will not be downloaded to non -authorized systems, meaning systems that are not
on either the DSHS or Contractor networks.
(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 FedRAMP certified.
(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.
Data Segregation.
a. DSHS 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. And/or,
(2) DSHS Data will be stored in a logical container on electronic media, such as a partition or folder
dedicated to DSHS Data. And/or,
(3) DSHS Data will be stored in a database which will contain no non-DSHS data. And/or,
DSHS Central Contracts and Legal Services
2068PC CA Personal Service Contract (05-12-17) Page 28
(4) DSHS Data will be stared 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.
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
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
Recycling through a contracted firm, provided the
Confidential Information
contract with the recycler assures that the
confidentiality of Data will be protected.
Paper documents containing Confidential
On-site shredding, pulping, or incineration
Information 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
Ma netic 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.

NEW CHILDREN SERVED
Count the number of children involved in cases that were reported to the CAC within the reporting period. The reason for the referral is
'allegation of abuse' and the age of the alleged victim is <= 18. To be counted, a child must not necessarily be seen on-site, but he/she must
receive a CAC core service by CAC staff—forensic interview, forensic medical exam, mental health, and/or victim advocacy—related to an
allegation/report of abuse, neglect, or witness to a crime.
NEW Children served at the CAC this
reporting period:
SPECIAL NOTE: If your CAC provides services (like forensic interviews) to adult victims with disabilities, do not count them under "New
Children Served." To capture information about these clients, only count the services received—such as a forensic interview and case
coordination.
Gender of Children
Indicate both the BIOLOGICAL gender and SELF -IDENTIFIED gender for NEW children served at the CAC this reporting period. The total number in each
line should match the TOTAL # of NEW children served.
Indicate the age for children served in NEW CHILDREN SERVED AT THE CAC THIS REPORTING PERIOD.
Age of Child at Initiation of New Case
SPECIAL NOTE: If the child has been previously served at the CAC but is being seen for a new case, indicate their age at the initiation of this new case.
Indicate category that most accurately describes race/ethnicity of children served in NEW CHILDREN SERVED AT THE CAC THIS REPORTING PERIOD. Total
of categories should equal number of NEW CHILDREN SERVED AT THE CAC THIS REPORTING PERIOD. Indicate category that most accurately describes
race/ethnicity of children served in NEW CHILDREN SERVED AT THE CAC THIS REPORTING PERIOD. Total of categories should equal number of NEW
CHILDREN SERVED AT THE CAC THIS REPORTING PERIOD.
Race/Ethnicity of Children
SPECIAL NOTE: Self -identification by the caregiver/child is the preferred method of categorization. Children/caregivers who identify the child as
multiracial or belonging to several different racial categories should be classified as other and the races they identify as should be included under the
NARRATIVE tab.
Indicate the total number of children with new cases served this reporting period for whom there is a documented or reported disability.
Each child should only be counted once, regardless of number/severity of disabilities. Additionally, under the NARRATIVE tab of the Excel
spreadsheet, describe the suspected/reported disabilities of each child. This is so that we can count the number of children with disabilities
served, but also capture types of disabilities reported and co-occurring disabilities in a qualitative format.
Suspected or Reported Disability
EXAMPLE: In the reporting period you served Bobby who had ADHD, Allison who has autism and is in a wheelchair, and Zach who has a
speech delay, downs syndrome, and is legally blind. Total # SUSPECTED OR REPORTED DISABILITY: 3 Narrative description in space provided:
Child 1: ADHD. Child 2: Autism, physically disabled in wheelchair. Child 3: Speech delay, downs syndrome, legally blind.
Alleged and Disclosed Abuse
Indicate the category or categories (child s case may be counted in multiple categories of alleged abuse for which the child was re erre to
the CAC for a core service. In other words, what allegation/report(s) were the reason(s) for the child's contact with the CAC? Only include
alleged abuse types for children who are being counted as New Children Served in this reporting period.
SPECIAL NOTE: OTHER may include children who are screened for abuse for whom there is no specific allegation, such as a sibling of a child
who made a disclosure. However, if there's a more specific suspicion/concern for which a child is being interviewed, it is at the discretion of
the CAC to categorize them.
Alleged Abuse
SPECIAL NOTE: Children counted under the "Commercial Sexual Exploitation" category must meet the federal definition: "Sex trafficking is
the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purposes of a commercial sex act, in which the
commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years
of age, (22 USC § 7102 (9-10))"
SPECIAL NOTE: "Witness to Violence" may include, but is not limited to, a child witnessing a sibling's abuse, a child exposed to domestic
violence against adult or minor household members, a child who has witnessed a violent crime (such as a robbery, violence towards objects
Indicate the number of cases where a disclosure was made in the forensic interview and the number of cases where no disclosure was made
Disclosure Information
Each child's case should only be counted once, so the total of these categories should be equal to the number of FORENSIC INTERVIEWSTHIS
REPORTING PERIOD.
Indicate the category or categories of abuse that are disclosed during the child's forensic interview. A child's case may be counted in multiple categories
and does not necessarily have to reflect the allegations of abuse in the initial report.
Disclosed Abuse
SPECIAL NOTE: See definition of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children under "ALLEGED/REPORTED ABUSE."
Alleged Offenders
Indicate the total NUMBER OF ALLEGED OFFENDERS. Include all alleged offenders who were named in the initial report as well as all alleged offenders
named by the child during the forensic interview.
Number of Alleged Offenders
SPECIAL NOTE: This measure may not necessarily equal total NEW CHILDREN SERVED AT THE CAC THIS REPORTING PERIOD. Some perpetrators may
have more than one victim, some children may have more than one perpetrator, or there may be a new offender to an on-going client. Only count in the
reporting period the offender was discovered.
Definitions
Indicate the relationship(s) of alleged offenders to victim(s). Total number of relationships may not necessarily equal total NUMBER OF ALLEGED
OFFENDERS, because a single alleged offender may have different relationships with new or ongoing children served (i.e. John Doe is PARENT to Robert
and is OTHER RELATIVE to Cassandra).
SPECIAL NOTE: A child's case will be counted under UNKNOWN PERSON (STRANGER) if the abuse is allegedly committed by a person previously unknown
to the child.
Relationship of Alleged Offender to
Child Served
SPECIAL NOTE: A child's case will be counted under UNKNOWN PERSON (UNIDENTIFIED) if the child discloses abuse, but no one has been specifically
alleged/disclosed as an offender.
EXAMPLE: Tony discloses sexual abuse during the forensic interview but will not say who committed it (or the disclosure may be unclear as to who did it)
He does, however, say that the person was not a stranger. Since it is known that abuse occurred at the hands of someone who was not a stranger to the
child, count his case under UNKNOWN PERSON (UNIDENTIFIED).
Age of Alleged Offender
Indicate the ages of alleged offenders as accurately as possible. Total of age categories MUST be equal to total NUMBER OF ALLEGED
OFFENDERS.
CAC Services
Indicate the number of interviews performed on-site and number of interviews performed off-site. Only include interviews that are
Forensic Interview
performed by interviewer with appropriate trainings as defined by NCA Forensic Interviewing Standard (40 -hour nationally recognized
training). Do not count interviews for cases in which the CAC is not involved

client, accompanied the client to the referral agency, and/or discussed with the client how and why they should arrange for an appointment.
Medical Evaluation/Treatment
Indicate the number of children who received a medical evaluation related to their services at the CAC this reporting period
Indicate the number of referrals made for children of new and ongoing cases to receive therapy/counseling (onsite or offsite). Only count
cases where the CAC assisted the client in making the connection by calling the referral agency together, arranging for the referral agency to

call, calling the agency on behalf of the client, accompanied the client to the referral agency, and/or discussed with the client how and why
the should arran a for an appointment.
Indicate the number of cases for which therapy/counseling was initiated for the child involved. SPECIAL NOTE: A child should only be
Therapy/Counseling Initiatied
counted once in this category; this number does not reflect ongoing therapy/counseling (onsite and offsite both included in this category).
Indicate the distinct number of alleged child victim clients and non- offending caregivers who received victim support/advocacy at the CAC this reporting
period. Please only count individuals once, regardless of the number, type, or duration of advocacy services received.
SPECIAL NOTE: In the uncommon situation that one person has a different/separate allegation (case) in the same reporting period, they may be counted
a second time.
SPECIAL NOTE: Some examples of VICTIM SUPPORT/ADVOCACY may include, but are not limited to:
• Crisis assessment and intervention, risk assessment and safety planning and support for children and family members at all stages of involvement with
CAC;
• Assessment of individual needs, cultural considerations for child/family and ensure those needs are addressed;
• Presence at CAC during the forensic interview in order to participate in information sharing, inform and support family about the coordinated,

investigation, case status, and services needed by the child and family with recommendations communicated to appropriate parties for implementation;
or, the CAC's representative has taken an active role in coordinating and/or managing the team's recommendations for implementation. Count each
On -Site Case Coordination
child only once during a 6 -month reporting period.
SPECIAL NOTE: For most CACs this number will be the number of cases covered at case review PLUS the number of individual team meetings (may occur
after forensic interview or as needed). Do not count one child's case multiple times in one reporting period.
Under NARRATIVE tab of Excel Spreadsheet, indicate other services offered at the CAC that are not otherwise reflected in this reporting form. This can
include non -offending caregiver services (i.e. therapy, support group), prevention services, etc. In your brief narrative, please describe each OTHER
