Cybersecurity Compliance & Infrastructure Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Denton County is required to complete annual certified cybersecurity training and compliance certification under Texas mandate, while gaps remain in privileged access management and secure backup infrastructure. Strategic priorities including zero-trust segmentation, end-of-life technology replacement, and network upgrades elevate operational and compliance risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes $1.92M in Technology Services increases and $2.55M in capital technology recommendations, with the BJA FY 2026 JAG Program providing an active federal funding path for cybersecurity and IT investments. Acting within the current fiscal and grant cycle positions the county to close compliance gaps, reduce insurance exposure, and strengthen countywide security posture.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
Denton County is actively working toward Federal ADA Title II compliance at WCAG 2.1 Level AA across its web and digital services, including a heavy reliance on PDF-based forms managed through a third-party CMS. Unresolved accessibility gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to county services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Federal ADA Title II compliance is a standing mandate with direct legal risk for non-conformance, making inaction increasingly costly. The county's recent investment in document automation signals active budget and organizational readiness, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are in place to support streamlined, compliant procurement this fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified critical preparedness gaps, including the absence of documented EOP review dates and coordination vulnerabilities with its existing mass notification system. FEMA NIMS compliance is an active requirement, and unresolved gaps elevate operational and public safety risk across the county's emergency response framework.
The opportunity
A FY2027 budget increase of $259K for Emergency Management and active EMPG and HSGP grant pathways create a near-term funding window to close preparedness gaps. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle strengthens NIMS compliance, improves coordination, and reduces risk to residents and first responders.
Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Program Launch
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Denton County operates 400+ vehicles, including law enforcement units, with no countywide dash-camera or driver-telematics program. The current fuel management system does not provide real-time tracking or driver behavior data, leaving a significant safety monitoring and evidentiary gap across county operations.
The opportunity
With $3.9M in FY2027 vehicle purchases already budgeted, introducing telematics at scale now reduces long-term liability and improves fleet accountability from day one. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, enabling compliant, efficient procurement aligned with the current budget cycle.
Texas DIR
Discuss this project →Endpoint Modernization and Secure Backup Hardening
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Aging endpoint infrastructure and gaps in secure backup storage expose the county to data loss and cyber incidents, compounding the need for cybersecurity insurance. With annual IT and software spend exceeding $13M and active capital improvement projects underway, the pressure to harden data protection posture and replace end-of-life technology is operationally and fiscally urgent.
The opportunity
The FY2027 Technology Services budget increase of $1.92M and a $2.55M capital recommendation for county-wide technology provide clear funding alignment for immediate action. The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program offers an additional avenue to offset costs for qualifying IT equipment and cybersecurity software.
