Statement on Court Hearing Regarding Election IT Audit
"A hearing date has been set to determine the merits of Recorder Justin Heap's most recent court filing against the Board of Supervisors.
The Board hired an independent, third-party vendor to perform a systemwide assessment of Election IT infrastructure. This is a common sense assessment that Recorder Heap himself asked for earlier this year, yet now seems to oppose.
We look forward to sharing with the Court all the procedures and guardrails in place to ensure voter privacy and integrity, which includes both software solutions and a legal contract requiring background checks and confidentiality (see below). The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors will continue to put voters first."
10.8 BACKGROUND CHECK
Respondents may be required to pass multiple background checks (e.g. Sheriff’s Office, County Attorney's Office, Courts, as well as Maricopa County general government) to determine if the respondent is acceptable to do business with the County. This applies to, but is not limited to, the company, subcontractors, and employees, and the failure to pass these checks shall deem the respondent non-responsible.
10.36 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
10.36.1 Any information obtained in the course of performing this contract may include information that is proprietary or confidential to the County. This provision establishes the Contractor’s obligation regarding such information.
10.36.2 The Contractor shall establish and maintain procedures and controls that are adequate to assure that no information contained in its records and/or obtained from the County or from others in carrying out its functions (services) under the contract shall be used by or disclosed by it, its agents, officers, or employees, except as required to efficiently perform duties under the contract. The Contractor’s procedures and controls, at a minimum, must be the same procedures and controls it uses to protect its own proprietary or confidential information. If, at any time during the duration of the contract, the County determines that the procedures and controls in place are not adequate, the Contractor shall institute any new and/or additional measures requested by the County within 15 business days of the written request to do so.
10.36.3 Any requests to the Contractor for County proprietary or confidential information shall be referred to the County for review and approval, prior to any dissemination.
