The state of South Carolina is seeking a secure, web-based survey platform to support data collection from both the public and employees on a variety of topics. The platform will be used to gather quantitative and qualitative data, estimate annual fish and game harvests, measure public attitudes and preferences related to natural resources, and evaluate sentiment on issues of interest. Additionally, the tool will be utilized for assessing programming, marketing, and communications strategies.

Key requirements include seamless integration with external platforms and systems such as email and CRM tools, robust security features including password-protected surveys and user-type access controls, and full compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) standards. Vendors must detail their approaches to protecting sensitive personal data, maintaining security certificates, limiting data use or sharing, and ensuring GDPR compliance.

The platform must be fully hosted online, requiring no downloads or installations, and be accessible via all major web browsers. It should support single sign-on (SSO) for authentication and user management, and provide comprehensive tools for survey design and creation. The contract for this platform is anticipated to span four years.
