EXHIBIT "A"
EXTRANET STANDARD
Overview
The purpose of this standard is to establish the requirements under which third party
organizations may connect to the City of Fort Worth networks for the purpose of
transacting City business. The standards listed are specific activities required by Section
2.2 of the City of Fort Worth Information Security Policy.
Scope
Connections between third parties that require access to non-public City of Fort Worth
resources fall under this standard, regardless of whether a telecommunications circuit
(such as frame relay or ISDN) or Virtual Privacy Network (VPN) technology is used for
the connection. Connectivity to third parties such as the Internet Service Providers
(ISPs)that provide Internet access for the City of Fort Worth or to the Public Switched
Telephone Network do not fall under this standard.
Standard
Security Review
All new extranet connectivity will go through a security review with the Information
Security department (IT Solutions). The reviews are to ensure that all access matches
the business requirements in a best possible way, and that the principle of least access
is followed.
Third Party Connection Agreement
All new connection requests between third parties and the City of Fort Worth require that
the third party and the City of Fort Worth representatives agree to and sign a third party
agreement. This agreement must be signed by the Director of the sponsoring
organization as well as a representative from the third party who is legally empowered to
sign on behalf of the third party. The signed document is to be kept on file with IT
Solutions. All documents pertaining to connections into the City of Fort Worth labs are to
be kept on file with IT Solutions.
Business Case
All production extranet connections must be accompanied by a valid business
justification, in writing, that is approved by a project manager in IT Solutions. Lab
connections must be approved by IT Solutions. Typically this function is handled as part
of a third party agreement.
The sponsoring organization must designate a person to be the Point of Contact (POC)
for the Extranet connection. The POC acts on behalf of the sponsoring organization, and
is responsible for those portions of this policy and the third party agreement that pertain
to it. In the event that the POC changes, IT Solutions must be informed promptly.
Establishinq Connectivity
Sponsoring organizations within the City of Fort Worth that wish to establish connectivity-_,� s
to a third party are to file a new site request with IT Solutions to address securty_Me-S

inherent in the project. If the proposed connection is to terminate within a lab at the City
of Fort Worth, the sponsoring organization must engage IT Solutions. The sponsoring
organization must provide full and complete information as to the nature of the proposed
access to the extranet group and IT Solutions, as requested.
All connectivity established must be based on the least-access principle, in accordance
with the approved business requirements and the security review. In no case will the City
of Fort Worth rely upon the third party to protect the City of Fort Worth's network or
resources.
Modifying or Changing Connectivity and Access
All changes in access must be accompanied by a valid business justification, and are
subject to security review. Changes are to be implemented via corporate change
management process. The sponsoring organization is responsible for notifying IT
Solutions when there is a material change in their originally provided information so that
security and connectivity evolve accordingly.
Terminating Access
When access is no longer required, the sponsoring organization within the City of Fort
Worth must notify IT Solutions, which will then terminate the access. This may mean a
modification of existing permissions up to terminating the circuit, as appropriate. IT
Solutions must conduct an audit of their respective connections on an annual basis to
ensure that all existing connections are still needed, and that the access provided meets
the needs of the connection. Connections that are found to be deprecated, and/or are no
longer being used to conduct the City of Fort Worth business, will be terminated
immediately. Should a security incident or a finding that a circuit has been deprecated
and is no longer being used to conduct the City of Fort Worth business necessitate a
modification of existing permissions, or termination of connectivity, IT Solutions will notify
the POC or the sponsoring organization of the change prior to taking any action.
Definitions
Circuit For the purposes of this policy, circuit refers to the method of
network access, whether it's through traditional ISDN, Frame
Relay etc. or via VPN encryption technologies.
Sponsoring Organization The City of Fort Worth organization that requested that the
third parry have access to the City of Fort Worth network.
Third Party A business that is not a formal or subsidiary part of the City
of Fort Worth.
