Cybersecurity Compliance & Identity Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active cybersecurity compliance mandates—including Texas annual training requirements and password security standards—while navigating an Interim CISO appointment and ongoing IT consolidation. These organizational and regulatory pressures create elevated risk to public data, operational continuity, and staff security posture.
The opportunity
Awarded grant funding for cybersecurity training and network threat management, combined with a $11.7M information security budget, provides a clear and immediate funding path. Acting ahead of the September 2026 budget adoption ensures compliance gaps are closed and security investments are positioned within the current planning cycle.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The city is actively consolidating IT operations and reducing technical debt across a $111M IT budget, with $20M designated for new technology investments. Legacy infrastructure gaps and an ongoing organizational transition create operational risk that requires near-term remediation to maintain service continuity and meet cybersecurity compliance mandates.
The opportunity
Budget adoption is set for September 2026, making now the critical window to align endpoint and infrastructure modernization solutions with approved funding. Active grant awards for cybersecurity and network management further expand the funding pathway, reducing local match burden while advancing compliance and operational resilience.
Emergency Management & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unresolved Emergency Operations Plan status, public notification failures during a flash flood event, and active planning for a joint 911/emergency communications center. These deficiencies elevate operational and life-safety risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Over $5M in awarded homeland security grants is available now, with compliance mandates requiring full budget utilization. Addressing notification and EOP gaps this fiscal cycle strengthens public safety outcomes and ensures grant funds are deployed before deadline.
Homeland security grant ($1.3M)
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals have identified WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance gaps, with a mandate deadline of April 2027. Unresolved accessibility barriers limit equitable service delivery for residents and expose the entity to legal and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The April 2027 compliance deadline creates a defined procurement window, and approved IT and digital services budget allocations support action in the current fiscal cycle. Addressing gaps now advances digital equity, reduces compliance exposure, and aligns with broader digital modernization priorities.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity has incurred $3.9M in fleet-involved accident repair costs and faces an active vehicle-related lawsuit settlement, exposing significant financial and operational risk. The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan mandates telematics adoption for large fleets, and an EV fleet expansion further broadens the scope of required fleet technology.
The opportunity
Budget has been approved for telematics procurement as part of current strategic initiatives, creating a clear and immediate funding path. Acting within this fiscal cycle reduces litigation exposure, advances safety outcomes for the public, and aligns with the entity's fleet modernization and EV expansion goals.
