Internal control system

(a) ICS equipment and network and communications software. In order for the division to test and approve of the CLC's Internal Control System, the CLC shall provide the division with access to all of the CLC's ICS system and shall give the division the ability to independently monitor the system through utilizing on-line system log tapes by providing the necessary hardware and software. (1) All division ICS hardware and network and communication software shall be enhanced and updated by the CLC to remain current technology. Said enhancements shall be confirmed by the division as operating successfully prior to implementation. (2) The CLC shall provide the division with all system documentation to support the ICS. The documentation shall include hardware and communications configurations, all data and file formats for wagering system transactions, and all service contracts deemed necessary to maintain the ICS. (3) The on-line wagering system transactions provided by the CLC through the on-line vendor via real-time communication, tape, or both, at the division's option, shall be complete data that enables the ICS to achieve independent matching of critical system balances including, but not limited to, pools, liabilities, sales, advance sales, cancels and purges for all games individually and in total. (4) The CLC shall supply the division with up-to-date information on validation files and the inventory of instant and other off-line games, via tape input, in a format readable by the division. (b) ICS system problem resolution. (1) In addition to the problem reporting requirements of subsections (c) and (d) of section 12-568a-20 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, the CLC shall immediately notify the division of on-line system problems which may have an impact on the ICS system. (2) The CLC shall implement division approved procedures for the resolution of system problems. (c) Backup capability. The division may require the CLC to provide full backup capability for the ICS in order to resume operation in the event of a system failure. At a minimum, this shall include: (1) Fully maintained and tested computer hardware (servers) in a "hot environment", connected to the network and capable of immediate system switchover with minimal intervention; (2) Tape cartridge backup of ICS databases for high speed backup and restore processing; (3) Software to provide full or partial restoration of databases; and (4) Operating system software to allow network system switchover to backup equipment.
