Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital properties have identified gaps against WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, with a compliance deadline of April 2026. Active website modernization efforts and a broad existing document and digital technology footprint amplify remediation scope and operational risk.
The opportunity
The April 2026 deadline creates a defined, near-term decision window aligned with active IT modernization initiatives and significant annual technology investment capacity. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal and compliance exposure while advancing equitable public access to government services.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Modernization & Zero Trust Implementation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Federal zero trust mandates and IT contract monitoring audit findings are compelling cybersecurity investment, while legacy endpoint solutions introduce unresolved risk. A leadership transition with an acting CIO and CTO heightens urgency to establish new IT security priorities and address tool reconciliation gaps.
The opportunity
Active procurement cycles, continued legislative support for IT modernization, and significant state IT funding recommendations create a near-term window to advance zero trust and SIEM initiatives. Cooperative procurement vehicles are in place, reducing barriers to action and enabling responsible stewardship of public funds.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
DTMB lacks a published Emergency Operations Plan, HSEEP-style exercises, and coordinated mass notification between state and agency systems. NIMS and EOP compliance mandates are unmet, and recent severe weather declarations underscore the operational and public safety risk of continued inaction.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026 (COPS TEP and HSGP) define a near-term funding window, and Governor-recommended IT modernization funds signal available budget for emergency management priorities. Acting now aligns remediation efforts with the current procurement cycle and strengthens compliance posture before the next severe weather season.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Consolidation and Renewal Planning
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An imminent mass notification contract renewal creates a critical decision window to evaluate and consolidate fragmented alerting platforms across state and agency levels. Operational coordination gaps between platforms, combined with recent severe weather declarations, elevate risk to reliable public alerting and emergency response continuity.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions and an active renewal window present a near-term opportunity to reassess notification infrastructure before the next fiscal cycle locks in existing arrangements. Grant funding aligned with emergency communications supports this initiative, and local consolidation offers a viable, lower-barrier path to improved alerting reliability.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Risk & Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity operates a self-insured fleet without dashcam coverage, creating unmitigated liability and safety exposure across vehicle operations. Fleet telematics has been identified as a strategic initiative, yet urgency remains low despite the measurable risk gap.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026 (including public safety and homeland security funding streams) may provide viable pathways to offset acquisition costs. Advancing planning now ensures readiness to act within the upcoming grant window and aligns with cooperative procurement vehicles already in place.
