will be critical when choosing the City's 311 Solution.
•Mandatory: These tasks are required to perform a job function or have another outside influence,
such as an industry regulation. These are non-negotiable.
•Value Add: These are requirements that, while important, are not required to perform a task.
They typically streamline manual functions (i.e., automatically importing data from an Excel
spreadsheet in the correct format).
•Nice to have: These are "convenience" requirements, like a button on a screen that enables you
to stay on the same screen while completing a task.2.3 Business Process Review Sondhi Solutions will evaluate the processes that were discovered to determine which processes best fit
within a base 311 Solution. Processes that are specialized could cause customizations within a 311
Solution and added cost.
Sondhi Solutions will attempt to improve processes through business process reengineering (BPR)to
ensure fewer number customization requirements when implementing the 311 Solution. 2.4 Deliverables •Formal presentation to the City.

•Scope out the level of effort to migrate to a possible SharePoint solution.
This phase includes the following objectives:
•Review current state and configuration of the City's libraries.
•Evaluate and outline current permissions.
•Document any hidden code and the various tools used in the current document management tool.
•Interview business units and business users to understand how they are using the existing
document management tool.

4.3 Cybersecurity Assessment
Sondhi Solutions will measure the security posture of the City by identifying vulnerabilities based on 18
industry standard security controls with a focus on people, processes, and technologies. The types of
controls being assessed are as follows:
Control 1: Inventory and Control of Enterprise Assets
•Actively manage (inventory, track, and correct) all enterprise assets (end-user devices, including
portable and mobile; network devices; non-computing/Internet of Things (loT) devices; and
servers) connected to the infrastructure physically, virtually, remotely, and those within cloud
environments, to accurately know the totality of assets that need to be monitored and protected
within the enterprise.
•This will also support identifying unauthorized and unmanaged assets to remove or remediate.
Control 2: Inventory and Control of Software Assets
•Actively manage (inventory, track, and correct) all software (operating systems and applications)
on the network so that only authorized software is installed and can execute, and that
unauthorized and unmanaged software is found and prevented from installation or execution.
Control 3: Data Protection
•Develop processes and technical controls to identify, classify, securely handle, retain, and
dispose of data.
Control 4: Secure Configuration of Enterprise Assets and Software
•Establish and maintain the secure configuration of enterprise assets (end-user devices, including
portable and mobile; network devices; non-computing/loT devices; and servers) and software
(operating systems and applications).
Control 5: Account Management
•Use processes and tools to assign and manage authorization to credentials for user accounts,
including administrator accounts, as well as service accounts, to enterprise assets and software.
Control 6: Access Control Management
•Use processes and tools to create, assign, manage, and revoke access credentials and privileges
for user, administrator, and service accounts for enterprise assets and software.
Control 7: Continuous Vulnerability Management
•Develop a plan to continuously assess and track vulnerabilities on all enterprise assets within the
enterprise's infrastructure, in order to remediate, and minimize, the window of opportunity for
attackers.
•Monitor public and private industry sources for new threat and vulnerability information.
Control 8: Audit Log Management
•Collect, alert, review, and retain audit logs of events that could help detect, understand, or
recover from an attack.
Proprietary and Confidential Let's Build Together I 14
SONOHI
S t I LI I I l N S
Control 9: Email and Web Browser Protections
•Improve protections and detections of threats from email and web vectors, as these are
opportunities for attackers to manipulate human behavior through direct engagement.
Control 10: Malware Defenses
•Establish and maintain the secure configuration of enterprise assets (end-user devices, including
portable and mobile; network devices; non-computing/loT devices; and servers) and software
(operating systems and applications).
Control 11: Data Recovery
•Establish and maintain data recovery practices sufficient to restore in-scope enterprise assets to
a pre-incident and trusted state.
Control 12: Network Infrastructure Management
•Establish, implement, and actively manage (track, report, correct) network devices, in order to
prevent attackers from exploiting vulnerable network services and access points.
Control 13: Network Monitoring and Defense
•Operate processes and tooling to establish and maintain comprehensive network monitoring and
defense against security threats across the enterprise's network infrastructure and user base.
Control 14: Security Awareness and Skills Training
•Establish and maintain a security awareness program to influence behavior among the workforce
to be security conscious and properly skilled to reduce cybersecurity risks to the enterprise.
Control 15: Service Provider Management
•Develop a process to evaluate service providers who hold sensitive data, or are responsible for
an enterprise's critical IT platforms or processes, to ensure these providers are protecting those
platforms and data appropriately.
Control 16: Application Software Security
•Manage the security life cycle of in-house developed, hosted, or acquired software to prevent,
detect, and remediate security weaknesses before they can impact the enterprise.
Control 17: Incident Response Management
•Establish a program to develop and maintain an incident response capability (e.g., policies, plans,
procedures, defined roles, training, and communications) to prepare, detect, and quickly respond
to an attack.
Control 18: Penetration Testing
•Test the effectiveness and resiliency of enterprise assets through identifying and exploiting
weaknesses in controls (people, processes, and technology), and simulating the objectives and
actions of an attacker.
