County's Security Audit Clause Samples
The County's Security Audit clause grants the county the right to review and assess the security measures of a contractor or service provider. In practice, this means the county may conduct inspections, request documentation, or require demonstrations of compliance with specific security standards related to data protection or facility access. The core function of this clause is to ensure that the contractor maintains adequate security controls, thereby protecting the county's sensitive information and reducing the risk of data breaches or unauthorized access.
