Cybersecurity Compliance & Credential Management
Cybersecurity Compliance · Credential & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Baylor County has unmet Texas cybersecurity training and password security mandates, with no documented compliance for credential management practices. This gap creates direct exposure to credential-based threats and elevates regulatory and operational risk for court and county operations.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Judicial Security and Privacy Program offers up to $500,000 with an October 2026 deadline, and the proposed FY2027 budget includes dedicated IT contractor and equipment funds — creating a rare alignment of grant and budget cycles to act now.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Management & IT Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Active IT and cybersecurity modernization initiatives are funded or proposed, yet no structured endpoint management platform is currently in place. The proposed FY2027 budget allocates $80,000 across an IT contractor and equipment, signaling an urgent operational need for centralized endpoint oversight and compliance alignment.
The opportunity
Budget decisions are approaching ahead of the FY2027 cycle, creating a near-term window to establish endpoint governance with no incumbent solution to displace. The BJA FY2026 Judicial Security grant—with funding up to $500,000 and a deadline of October 15, 2026—identifies endpoint security as a secondary-eligible use, offering a viable funding pathway aligned with active Texas cybersecurity compliance mandates.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county website currently operates on the ezTask platform without confirmed WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, a federal requirement with an April 2028 deadline. The ongoing Website & Digital Services initiative signals active planning, but unresolved gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
The 2028 federal compliance deadline provides a defined planning horizon, and the active digital services initiative indicates current budget and leadership attention. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal and audit risk while ensuring residents can equitably access county services ahead of the mandate.

Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is unverified, and recent severe weather events occurred without documented exercises or after-action reviews. These gaps create measurable compliance and operational risk, leaving residents and staff without a validated response framework during critical incidents.
The opportunity
A grant-funded regional hazard mitigation plan update is already a top strategic priority, and the proposed FY2027 budget includes dedicated emergency management technology funding — creating a clear near-term decision window. Addressing preparedness gaps now reduces liability exposure and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Evaluation & Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification platform is under an unverified contract with uncertain continuity, creating a gap in emergency communications reliability. This active strategic initiative carries operational risk, particularly given recent severe weather exposure and the absence of documented after-action reviews.
The opportunity
An existing emergency management technology budget and cooperative procurement availability create a near-term window to act before FY2027 planning closes. Modernizing notification capabilities now strengthens public safety outcomes, closes preparedness gaps, and aligns with active emergency management mandates.
