Endpoint Device Standardization & Lifecycle Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The Tennessee Board of Regents has issued a system-wide RFI for endpoint device standardization, with a response deadline of August 5, 2026, and no current endpoint management system in place. This gap elevates institutional cybersecurity risk and undermines consistent device governance across campuses.
The opportunity
A recently approved per-semester technology access fee increase provides a dedicated, recurring funding stream for campus IT upgrades, aligning this initiative with active budget availability. Acting within the current RFI window positions the institution to reduce security exposure and advance its broader IT modernization goals before the fiscal cycle closes.

Discuss this project →Strengthening Credential Security and Identity Access Controls
Identity & Access Management · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The college operates an Okta MFA environment under an active password policy mandate but lacks a dedicated credential management solution, leaving a measurable security gap. An open Executive Director of Internal Audit position signals growing institutional focus on compliance and access governance across systems and staff.
The opportunity
An active MFA and identity-access rollout creates a timely integration point for closing credential security gaps before audit exposure grows. Cooperative procurement vehicles and a recently approved technology access fee increase support a streamlined, budget-aligned path to action this fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Web & Digital Content Accessibility Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The college faces unresolved compliance gaps under WCAG 2.0/2.1 AA and Section 508, requiring accessible websites, electronic information systems, and course content. Without remediation, the institution risks federal compliance findings, potential civil liability, and inequitable access for students and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
Accessibility compliance is a non-discretionary mandate, and leadership has already designated this an active strategic initiative—signaling institutional readiness to act. Addressing gaps now reduces audit and legal exposure, supports equitable student outcomes, and aligns with current fiscal planning cycles.
Modernize Multi-Campus Emergency Notification & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The college's current mass notification system has identified gaps, including an unconfirmed EOP review date and only optional student enrollment in campus alerts. Clery Act compliance obligations and a moderate emergency preparedness score signal elevated operational and regulatory risk across multiple campuses.
The opportunity
Multi-campus emergency preparedness is an active institutional strategic initiative, and a dedicated technology access fee increase signals available funding for upgrades this cycle. Addressing notification and EOP gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens campus-wide safety outcomes for students and staff.

Discuss this project →Fleet Vehicle Safety Monitoring Readiness
Fleet Safety · Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The college operates institution-owned vehicles without any telematics or fleet safety monitoring in place, creating an unmanaged liability exposure. While no incidents have been recorded to date, the absence of visibility into vehicle use, driver behavior, and maintenance status represents a preventable operational risk.
The opportunity
Establishing a fleet safety baseline now — before an incident occurs — positions the institution to manage liability proactively and supports responsible stewardship of public assets. Cooperative procurement vehicles may reduce acquisition complexity and cost when institutional readiness improves.
