Endpoint Security & Device Standardization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Tennessee Board of Regents has issued an active RFI for endpoint device standardization with a response deadline of August 5, 2026, signaling an imminent system-wide procurement decision. JSCC's current endpoint detection and response environment lacks confirmed vendor or contract clarity, creating consolidation risk and gaps in automated patching, MFA enforcement, and campus-wide device governance.
The opportunity
A system-wide technology access fee increase earmarked specifically for campus technology upgrades provides confirmed, dedicated funding aligned to this initiative. Acting within the current RFI window positions the institution to meet TBR compliance expectations, reduce cybersecurity exposure, and modernize endpoint management before the fiscal deadline.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Active Tennessee Board of Regents policy commitments around Digital Identity and Security Awareness create direct compliance obligations for identity and password management at the institutional level. Gaps in credential controls within a cloud-enabled environment elevate the risk of unauthorized access, data exposure, and audit findings affecting students and staff.
The opportunity
An active system-wide procurement window closes August 5, 2026, creating an immediate decision point for identity and cybersecurity investments. A recently approved technology access fee increase provides dedicated funding for campus technology upgrades, aligning this project with the current fiscal cycle and TBR modernization priorities.

Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
JSCC's recently revised 2026 Emergency Management Plan is subject to Clery Act and NIMS ICS mandates, yet the current mass notification platform's vendor, contract status, and end-of-life timeline remain unknown. The absence of completed exercise reports or after-action reviews for recent incidents—including severe winter weather—signals measurable gaps in incident coordination and compliance readiness.
The opportunity
Incoming leadership hires in 2025–2026, including a Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, signal institutional openness to evaluating critical safety infrastructure. A system-wide technology access fee increase designated for campus technology upgrades provides a direct, available funding pathway to address these gaps within the current planning cycle.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Tennessee Board of Regents has adopted WCAG 2.1 and Section 508 standards, and an internal ADA policy creates binding compliance obligations for web and digital content. Identified gaps in the active Website & Digital Services initiative signal that current platforms and documents do not fully meet accessibility requirements, exposing the institution to legal and reputational risk.
The opportunity
A system-wide technology access fee increase designated for campus technology upgrades provides a direct, available funding pathway for digital accessibility improvements this fiscal cycle. Addressing compliance gaps now reduces legal exposure, advances equitable access for all students and staff, and aligns with the institution's stated strategic priorities.
