TxDOT Data Security and Compliance Flow-Down

The contract requires all subcontractors to implement robust measures to safeguard Texas Department of Transportation data, particularly personally identifiable information, ensuring adherence to state and federal data protection standards. Subcontractors must establish and maintain secure systems, train personnel on data handling protocols, and enforce strict access controls to prevent unauthorized disclosure or breaches. Any incident involving the compromise of TxDOT data must be reported immediately according to specified timelines and procedures, with full cooperation required during investigations and remediation efforts. Compliance with these data security obligations is mandatory and flows down to all tiers of subcontracting, meaning every entity handling TxDOT-related information must meet the same rigorous standards. The contract applies to work performed in Bexar County and is governed under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. Failure to comply with data protection or breach reporting requirements may result in termination of the subcontract, financial penalties, or exclusion from future TxDOT opportunities. All parties are expected to uphold the integrity and confidentiality of TxDOT’s sensitive information throughout the duration of their contractual relationship.
