Report

Summary

RiskSense, Inc. provides penetration testing services to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements for Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This service evaluates the efficacy of controls in place to protect the City's systems and data from unauthorized access. This service also helps to ensure the security of the City's network, and failure to continue with penetration testing would result in non-compliance with PCI regulations.

 

The increase in funding is needed to pay for the additional year of services.

 

Contract Term

The term of this contract with RiskSense, Inc. will be extended through March 31, 2022.

 

Financial Impact

With the $374,000 (including taxes) in additional spending authority, the contract's revised aggregate value is approximately $1,729,000. Funds are available in the Information Technology Services Department's budget.
