Cybersecurity Program Modernization and Compliance Readiness
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City of Houston faces active compliance mandates requiring 75% vulnerability remediation by FY27 and multi-factor authentication for VPN access under FBI CJIS, alongside a Texas-mandated annual cybersecurity training requirement. SOC modernization is underway, and gaps in these areas elevate operational and public safety risk across city systems and personnel.
The opportunity
Budget-approved cybersecurity initiatives and proposed FY27 funding increases create a near-term window to act, with approved grant applications available to offset qualifying project costs. Advancing this work now addresses compliance deadlines, reduces breach exposure, and aligns with the city's current fiscal planning cycle.
JAG Program
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City faces active compliance mandates under ADA Title II and WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, with both an ADA Transition Plan update and a Digital Accessibility Roadmap approved for funding. An active RFP for website services confirms this initiative is in motion, and unresolved gaps elevate legal and equity risk for residents seeking digital services.
The opportunity
A live RFP, funded roadmap, and active CIP projects for website redesign create a clear and time-sensitive procurement path. Advancing this work now addresses regulatory deadlines, improves equitable access to public services, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Tracking Expansion
Fleet Management · Public Works Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City has active contracts for telemetry and vehicle equipment services, with a budget-approved initiative to expand GPS implementation and vehicle tracking capabilities across its fleet. Gaps in real-time visibility and tracking coverage create operational risk and limit the City's ability to optimize service delivery and asset accountability.
The opportunity
A PROTECT grant opportunity has been identified as a potential funding source for this initiative, adding urgency to advancing the project within the current planning cycle. Expanding fleet telematics now supports safer operations, stronger asset stewardship, and alignment with funded strategic priorities already underway.
PROTECT grant

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City has identified critical preparedness gaps, including an unverified Emergency Operations Plan, no confirmed mass notification system, and no documented HSEEP-style exercises. Recent emergency declarations for a tropical storm, heat wave, and flooding underscore the operational and public safety urgency.
The opportunity
A budget-approved initiative backed by a $101 million disaster recovery fund and approved emergency management grant applications provides strong financial footing to act now. Closing preparedness gaps this fiscal cycle reduces compliance risk and strengthens the City's ability to protect residents during future disasters.
Active Attack Response grant
Discuss this project →IT Service Management & Enterprise Application Modernization
IT Modernization · Enterprise Applications
High Priority
About this project
The City has proposed FY27 budget increases for enterprise application licensing and IT support, while completing a major M365 tenant consolidation and advancing active CIP projects for budgeting software and network modernization. These overlapping initiatives create integration complexity and operational risk if not coordinated through a unified service management strategy.
The opportunity
FY27 budget proposals for enterprise applications are already in motion, creating a time-sensitive window to align procurement with funded priorities. Acting now supports operational continuity, reduces redundancy across consolidating platforms, and positions the City to maximize existing investments in service management infrastructure.
Critical Infrastructure Cataloguing & Disaster Recovery Readiness
Emergency Management · Infrastructure Resilience
High Priority
About this project
A budget-approved initiative to catalogue city-owned critical infrastructure is underway alongside a $101 million disaster recovery fund designated for generator installation. Gaps in infrastructure visibility and resilience planning elevate operational risk to essential public services during declared emergencies.
The opportunity
Executive commitment and dedicated disaster recovery funding signal near-term execution, aligning with the current fiscal planning cycle. Advancing cataloguing and recovery capabilities now reduces service disruption risk and positions the city to leverage emergency management grant opportunities.
