The words and phrases listed below, as used in this Exhibit, shall each have the following definitions: a) ""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 (httr)s://nvipubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/fips/nist.fips.197.padrf,). b) "Authorized Users(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. c) "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 Portabilityand Accountability Act (HIPAA). d) "Cloud": means data storage on servers hosted by an entity other than the Subcontractor and on a network outside the control of the Subcontractor. 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. e) "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, or2048 bits for asymmetric keys. When a symmetric key is used, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) must be used if available. f) "Hardened Password": means a string of at least eight (8) characters containing at least three (3) of the following four -character classes: Uppercase alphabetic, lowercase alphabetic, numeral, and special characters such as an asterisk, ampersand, or exclamation point. g) "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. h) *"Multi -factor Authentication": means controlling access to computers and other IT resources by requiring two (2) 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 hassuch 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 password for a device. Since PINs are typically only four (4) to six (6) characters, PINs are usually used in conjunction with another factor of authentication, such as a fingerprint. i) "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 PortableDevice. j) "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 drives) devices, external drives, and internal hard drives that have been removed from a computing device.

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. 1) "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 ofthe Data. m) "Unique User ID": means a string of characters that identifies a specific user and which, inconjunction with a password, passphrase or other mechanism, authenticates a user to an information system. 2) Authority. The security requirements described in this document reflect the applicable requirements of Standard 141.10 (https://ocio.wa.qovlpolicies) of the Office of the Chief Information Officer for the stateof 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/ffa/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. 3) Administrative Controls.

The Subcontractor agrees to store Data on one (1) or more of the following media andprotect 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 IDand 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 onlyto authorized personnel, with access controlled through use of a key, card key, combination lock, orcomparable mechanism. 1) 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 akey, 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 onlyto authorized personnel, with access controlled through use of a key, card key, combination lock, orcomparable 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 ina Secure Area. f) Data storage on portable devices or media. 1) Except where otherwise specified herein, DSHS Data shall not be stored by the Subcontractor 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: 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 ofinactivity is twenty (20) minutes. d) Apply administrative and physical security controls to Portable Devices and Portable Mediaby: Grant & Adams County Developmental Disabilities - Subcontractor Agreement 7/1/2023 — 6/30/2024 Page 17 of 22 DocuSign Envelope ID: 8CF22B2C-3EEE-426C-9873-5D74F17216B2 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 Subcontractor staff with authorization to access the Data, even if the Data is encrypted. g) 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 h) 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 the County nor the Subcontractor 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) Subcontractor has written procedures in place governing use of the Cloud storage and Subcontractor 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 Subcontractor network. 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 Subcontractor will possess a decryption key for the Data, and the decryption key will be possessed only by the Subcontractor. f) The Data will not be downloaded to non -authorized systems, meaning systems that are not on the Subcontractor 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 Subcontractor'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 the requirements within this exhibit; or, b) 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. Grant & Adams County Developmental Disabilities - Subcontractor Agreement 7/1/2023 — 6/30/2024 Page 18 of 22 DocuSign Envelope ID: 8CF22B2C-3EEE-426C-9873-5D74F17216B2 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 three (3) months of being made available. b) The Subcontractor 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. Thisis to ensure that when no longer needed by the Subcontractor, 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 nonon- 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 bythe 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 stored as physical paper documents, DSHS Data will be physically segregated from non-DSHS data in a drawer, folder, or other container. 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 onwhich Data may be stored and associated acceptable methods of destruction are as follows: Data store 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 character data, or Removable media (e.g. floppies, USB Degaussing sufficiently to ensure that the Data flash drives, portable hard disks) cannot be reconstructed, or excluding optical disk. Physically destroying the disk Paper documents with sensitive or Recycling through a contracted firm, provided Confidential Information. the contract with the recycler assures that the confidentiality of Data will be protected. Paper documents containing On-site shredding, pulping or incineration. Confidential Information requiring special handling (e.g. protected health information). Optical disks (e.g. CDS or DVDs) Incineration, shredding, or completely defacing the readable surface with a coarse abrasive. Magnetic tape Degaussing, incinerating or crosscut shredding.
