• Cybersecurity Initiative: Penetration Testing and Remediation Services (deliverable)

o Invoice semi-annually when services are completed.

o Provide a managed service that autonomously identifies and exploits vulnerabilities for both the

internal and external environment. Penetration testing will be done in a non-destructive manner

and will only go far enough to prove the possibility of exploit without exercising exploit or

compromising systems. All exploits and compromises will be captured via screenshot or other

methods and reported accordingly. Should Vendor find a critical vulnerability that has potential for immediate impact, Vendor will notify the proper organizational personnel as soon as proof is obtained and risk is assessed, which may be sooner than the formal report is produced.

o Performed semi-annually.

o Up to 500 hosts (including internal and external assets).

o Report on Generation and Findings.

o Meet and develop a plan to execute a remediation.

o Include service activity in the Weekly Activity Report, if applicable.
