Event Description

The South Dakota Department of Health (SD DOH) seeks a qualified partner to conduct a

cybersecurity assessment. This assessment will target South Dakota Health Care Coalition (SD

HCC) partners statewide across healthcare including but not limited to; long-term care, and public

health sectors.

The assessment will evaluate the current operations of facilities within the coalition, focusing on

current cybersecurity practices, identifying vulnerabilities, assessing risks during disasters, and

examining mitigation practices and their ability to respond to and recover f rom cyberattacks. The

goal is to identify gaps, available resources to support responses and provide actionable

recommendations to enhance cybersecurity preparedness and resiliency. This assessment will

ultimately inform the development of a comprehensive Cybersecurity Plan for the SD HCC, and

support future hazard-specfic planning, training, and exercises with public health preparedness

partners.

The ideal partner will have expertise in healthcare cybersecurity (including operating systems and

medical equipment), healthcare coalitions, public health, healthcare emergency management,

and healthcare facility operations.
