Cybersecurity & Credential Management Remediation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A confirmed phishing attack in July 2026 exposed critical credential management gaps, leaving the agency vulnerable to further breach. A Texas state-agency cybersecurity compliance deadline of August 31, 2026 adds immediate regulatory pressure to post-incident remediation efforts.
The opportunity
The active compliance deadline and documented breach create a high-urgency window for investment, supported by an $800K+ annual IT budget and a pending FY2028–2029 exceptional-item request. Cooperative contract vehicles are already in use, enabling a streamlined procurement path aligned with current fiscal planning.

About this project
The agency faces a firm ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, coinciding with a recent website redesign and new licensing system launch. Expanding records digitization and digital services initiatives further broaden the compliance scope and operational risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline creates a near-term prioritization window, and a pending FY2028–2029 budget request exceeding $600K for staffing and digitization directly supports this effort. Procurement can move efficiently through existing cooperative contract vehicles, reducing lead time and administrative burden.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The agency lacks a dedicated Systems Administrator, creating critical gaps in IT management, technology resilience, and operational continuity as it prepares to transition to independence by August/September 2027. A confirmed phishing attack has heightened cybersecurity risk, and state compliance mandates require immediate remediation.
The opportunity
A pending FY2028–2029 exceptional-item request signals clear budget intent for IT staffing and infrastructure, and cooperative procurement vehicles are already in place to streamline acquisition. Acting now aligns with compliance deadlines, reduces operational risk during the independence transition, and positions the agency to steward public resources responsibly.

Emergency Management · Business Continuity
High Priority
About this project
The agency lacks dedicated communications staff and established continuity protocols, leaving critical operations vulnerable during disruptions. A confirmed phishing incident and an impending return to full organizational independence compound these gaps, elevating both operational and security risk.
The opportunity
The agency's planned transition to independence by late 2027 creates a defined window to build standalone emergency communications and continuity capabilities. Pending budget requests for staffing and digitization align with this need, and subrecipient eligibility for JAG and HSGP grants offers a supplemental funding path ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
