Cybersecurity Awareness Training and Credential Management
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Jones County faces a recurring Texas cybersecurity awareness training mandate and has recently engaged cybersecurity services to address active gaps. Without structured credential management, county systems and staff remain exposed to credential-based threats, elevating operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
ARPA funds have been approved for cybersecurity services, creating an immediate, budget-ready window to act within the current fiscal cycle. Advancing training and credential management now closes a documented compliance gap and strengthens the county's security posture before funding timelines close.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Jones County is actively modernizing its technology infrastructure, including recent computer purchases, phone system upgrades, jail security enhancements, and election equipment—with ARPA funds explicitly approved for these investments. Without centralized endpoint monitoring and management, newly deployed assets remain operationally untracked and exposed to cybersecurity risk, undermining the county's compliance posture and stewardship of public funds.
The opportunity
Approved ARPA allocations and active procurement cycles create an immediate window to establish scalable endpoint oversight across county departments and affiliated entities. Acting now ensures funded assets are protected, monitored, and compliant—maximizing the public value of current technology investments before the fiscal window closes.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A frontline fire truck is currently out of service with significant repair costs, placing the department's Class 7 insurance rating at immediate risk — a rating that mandates two operational apparatus. Without resolution, the department faces reduced coverage capacity and direct public safety consequences.
The opportunity
The insurance rating requirement creates a hard compliance deadline, and funded strategic initiatives confirm budget is already allocated for fleet-related technology. Addressing apparatus reliability and maintenance tracking now protects service levels, satisfies the mandate, and aligns with the current funding cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unverified Emergency Operations Plan, no documented HSEEP exercises, and local entities not integrated into the county alert system. Active NIMS compliance mandates and apparatus downtime creating urgent communications risk compound the operational exposure for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Grant funding explicitly covering emergency management equipment is available, and ARPA funds are actively in use for public safety technology, aligning with the current fiscal cycle. Centralizing emergency plans and alert integration now addresses compliance mandates, reduces operational risk, and strengthens coordinated response capability countywide.
