Cybersecurity Remediation & Credential Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A ransomware attack in April 2026 exposed critical gaps in security posture, including the absence of centralized credential management across multiple disconnected security tools. This fragmented environment elevates compliance and operational risk, threatening service continuity for the public.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget cycle (Oct/Nov 2026) presents a near-term funding window, and the organization's strong financial position supports technology capital investment. Federal grant programs, including FEMA cybersecurity initiatives, may offset costs while addressing urgent remediation priorities.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent ransomware attack exposed critical gaps in communication, continuity planning, and emergency preparedness, resulting in public service disruptions and community criticism. County and state mandates require a formal Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), and the absence of mass notification capabilities continues to elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Active emergency resilience investments and FEMA grant alignment create a timely funding pathway within the current budget cycle. Formalizing an EOP and deploying mass notification capabilities now reduces compliance exposure, restores public trust, and strengthens continuity before the next disruptive event.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Public Library Services
High Priority
About this project
KDL has adopted WCAG standards but active gaps in website accessibility compliance create ongoing legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. Remediation is a continuing strategic commitment, not a completed effort, elevating both compliance and public service risk.
The opportunity
IMLS National Leadership Grants for Libraries offer a near-term funding pathway for digital accessibility initiatives, aligning with KDL's active compliance obligations. With the FY2027 budget process approaching, acting now positions the library to secure funding and close remediation gaps before the next planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Management Modernization & Expansion
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A recent ransomware incident has exposed critical gaps in endpoint coverage and cyber resilience, elevating operational and compliance risk across the organization. Expanding and modernizing endpoint management is now an active priority to ensure comprehensive protection and continuity of public services.
The opportunity
An active IT refresh budget and technology capital outlay funding create a strong financial foundation for action, with the FY2027 budget process (Oct/Nov 2026) serving as the primary decision window. Addressing endpoint gaps now reduces remediation risk and aligns investment with post-incident recovery priorities eligible for state and federal funding.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & In-Vehicle Video Expansion
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Existing fleet operations lack documented in-vehicle video and telematics capabilities, leaving significant vehicle assets and rising self-insurance claims inadequately addressed. This gap creates measurable financial and safety risk that current systems are not equipped to mitigate.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing agreements already in use can streamline procurement and accelerate deployment ahead of the FY2027 budget cycle. Expanding telematics and video coverage now reduces liability exposure, supports risk management goals, and strengthens stewardship of public assets.
