Scope – The District is seeking to conduct both an Internal and External Penetration Test (“Pen Test”) of the District’s network. These tests evaluate the capabilities of external forces to compromise internal and external network devices, systems and services. The tests will assess the District’s overall network security posture with the end goal of identifying applications, systems and network potential vulnerabilities. Additionally, the testing will identify any gaps in IT security governance, assessment of patching methodologies, current network security capabilities and potential existing security incidents. The Pen Test and reporting will be based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) control 800-53 (Security and Privacy Controls for Information Systems and Organizations). The objective of the testing is to provide feedback to the District regarding its ability to preserve the confidentiality, integrity, availability and security of the information maintained. Annual Penetration Testing has been recommended by the District’s Internal Auditors. |
