Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Upgrade
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
BTU has recorded a consistent and escalating pattern of at-fault vehicle incidents across FY2025 and FY2026, creating growing liability exposure for the utility. A stated FY2027 strategic goal calls for automatic vehicle location and dash camera safety upgrades across all departments, with seven new fleet trucks also approved in the FY2027 budget.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget adoption in September 2026 represents a near-term funding window aligned with this active strategic initiative. Acting now enables telematics integration with incoming fleet vehicles, reduces liability risk, and supports driver safety outcomes across utility operations.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A fragmented public alerting environment—with utility outage notifications operating separately from the city's emergency system—has left a critical gap following a regional platform data breach that took the shared notification service offline. Leadership has formally prioritized unified public alerting as a strategic initiative, signaling both urgency and organizational readiness to act.
The opportunity
The current notification outage creates immediate pressure to restore reliable public alerting before the next severe weather or service emergency. With FY2027 budget adoption approaching and a confirmed strategic initiative already in place, this project is positioned for near-term procurement action with dedicated funding alignment.
Web Accessibility & Document Remediation Compliance
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
Bryan Texas Utilities faces a mandatory WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2027 under Title II ADA requirements, covering both its public-facing website and a separate customer portal. The FY2027 strategic plan explicitly calls for full remediation of critical electronic documents, and failure to comply exposes the utility and the City of Bryan to legal and reputational risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget adoption in September 2026 creates a near-term funding window to initiate procurement before the April 2027 deadline. Acting now allows sufficient time for scoping, remediation, and validation—reducing compliance risk and ensuring equitable digital access for all 95,783 residents served.
NERC CIP Cybersecurity Compliance & Resilience Hardening
Cybersecurity Compliance · Critical Infrastructure Protection
High Priority
About this project
BTU faces active NERC CIP mandates (CIP-003-9, CIP-012-2) with compliance deadlines in April and July 2026, carrying potential financial penalties for non-compliance. A February 2026 ransomware attack on a third-party payment processor exposed critical gaps in vendor access management, backup, and recovery, compounded by a fragmented identity and access management environment.
The opportunity
NERC CIP deadlines are imminent, and the FY2027 budget explicitly includes cybersecurity investment with substantial capital funding available for adoption. Addressing access management and backup recovery gaps now reduces penalty exposure, strengthens operational continuity, and aligns with the current budget planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Management & Device Lifecycle Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
A recognized gap in endpoint management maturity has created a fragmented device oversight posture, with endpoint security and device lifecycle functions operating in silos. Without a unified management layer, operational continuity, asset visibility, and security compliance remain at risk across the enterprise.
The opportunity
FY2027 capital funding has been explicitly allocated for enterprise device lifecycle management, and an ongoing leadership transition creates a timely opening to advance infrastructure modernization priorities. Acting within the current budget planning cycle ensures alignment with approved funding and reduces compounding operational risk.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Awareness Program Expansion
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A recent ransomware attack on a third-party payment processor and active NERC CIP mandates (CIP-003-9, CIP-012-2) expose the organization to financial penalties and operational disruption. The existing awareness program requires further investment to strengthen human-layer security controls across the organization.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget explicitly funds cybersecurity awareness work, providing a confirmed appropriation ahead of the upcoming budget adoption window. Acting now addresses active regulatory deadlines and reduces breach-related operational risk for staff and the public served.
