Endpoint & Credential Security Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The authority faces active cybersecurity compliance mandates—including Texas annual training requirements and NIST framework development—alongside a critical gap in centralized password management. Without modernized endpoint and credential controls, operational systems and public infrastructure remain exposed to credential-based threats and audit risk.
The opportunity
Dedicated budget allocations for security software are already identified within the current strategic plan, and federal grant programs support eligible information systems improvements. Acting within this fiscal cycle positions the authority to close compliance gaps, reduce operational risk, and maximize funded modernization momentum.

Critical Infrastructure Protection · Cybersecurity Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A water/wastewater authority has identified and budgeted a capital initiative to implement network micro-segmentation and hybrid failover, alongside SCADA firewall investments. Without these controls, operational technology environments remain exposed to lateral movement threats, risking service continuity and regulatory compliance under applicable cybersecurity frameworks.
The opportunity
This initiative is already funded within the authority's strategic capital plan, making near-term execution highly actionable. Advancing now aligns with Texas cybersecurity compliance mandates and NIST framework requirements, while federal grant programs eligible for information systems improvements may offset additional implementation costs.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent wastewater discharge incident has exposed critical gaps in mass notification and incident response capability, with no publicly identified notification platform currently in place. Emergency management mandates remain unmet, elevating operational and public safety risk for the communities and infrastructure this authority serves.
The opportunity
A robust overall IT budget provides a viable internal funding path, and this initiative aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle for capital technology investments. Closing notification and response gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens public trust, and positions the authority ahead of future emergency management requirements.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
A federal mandate requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance by April 2028, and current digital services contain unaddressed compliance gaps. Unresolved accessibility barriers create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to essential government services.
The opportunity
Annual budget cycles offer a structured window to fund phased remediation well ahead of the 2028 deadline, reducing last-minute cost and risk. Early action supports equitable service delivery, demonstrates proactive compliance, and allows for manageable, incremental implementation.

Fleet Management · Operational Risk
High Priority
About this project
The authority operates an aging vehicle fleet with highly depreciated assets and no documented crash-evidence or driver-monitoring capabilities. This gap in proactive fleet oversight creates moderate operational risk, including potential liability exposure and reduced service continuity for the communities served.
The opportunity
Fleet and vehicle management is an identified strategic initiative, and cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to streamline procurement and accelerate timelines. Addressing this proactively during the current planning cycle positions the authority to reduce liability risk and improve operational accountability before gaps become costly incidents.
