Cybersecurity Modernization: SIEM, Identity Governance & ITSM
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a SIEM and formal identity governance controls, while audit findings and active mandates around password security, cybersecurity training, and data-loss prevention remain unresolved. The current ITSM system is reaching end-of-life, creating compounding operational and compliance exposure across the enterprise.
The opportunity
An open RFO for an ITSM replacement and biennium budget requests for legacy system modernization signal active funding intent and a near-term procurement window. Addressing these gaps now reduces audit risk, strengthens security posture, and aligns with the upcoming budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces significant fleet liability exposure—including multiple pending lawsuits and self-insurance risk—with no modern safety technology such as dash cameras or telematics currently in place. State reporting compliance mandates further elevate the urgency to modernize fleet management operations.
The opportunity
Active litigation exposure and self-insurance risk make this a high-urgency, near-term priority. Specific fleet funding requests are included in the upcoming biennium budget, signaling planned spending and a clear window to act within the current fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing website has documented ADA compliance gaps and a looming WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline, creating legal and regulatory exposure. An aging web platform with a cancelled maintenance solicitation signals an urgent need for a modern, accessible digital experience for constituents and staff.
The opportunity
An active RFO signals near-term budget commitment and a defined procurement window, reducing the time to action. Addressing accessibility compliance now mitigates legal risk, improves equitable public access, and aligns with the current biennium planning cycle for legacy system modernization.

Discuss this project →Emergency Alert System Consolidation and Preparedness Planning
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unverified EOP review cycle, a limited email-only alert system, and fragmented coordination across response teams. A newly formed Disaster Task Force and recent severe weather events have elevated the urgency to modernize and unify alert and response infrastructure.
The opportunity
Active leadership commitment through the Disaster Task Force and the Texas Agriculture Alert System initiative signals near-term planning momentum, aligning well with the upcoming biennium budget cycle. Consolidating fragmented systems now reduces operational risk, strengthens public safety outcomes, and positions the agency to act within current planning and funding windows.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Identity & Password Security Compliance
Cybersecurity · Identity Governance
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a dedicated password management solution and faces active identity governance compliance mandates alongside documented audit findings. The absence of modern identity tooling creates measurable security risk and audit exposure that requires near-term remediation.
The opportunity
Biennium budget requests for computer equipment and software provide an active funding vehicle, and cooperative contract procurement paths reduce time-to-award. Addressing this gap now resolves open audit findings, satisfies compliance mandates, and reduces organizational risk ahead of the next review cycle.
