Emergency Management & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The college system carries an Emergency Preparedness Score of 2, with an unconfirmed EOP review date, fragmented alert platforms, and no public after-action reports. Texas law mandates annual EOP review and a triennial safety audit, creating active compliance exposure across the system.
The opportunity
With $75,000 budgeted for emergency management and public safety technology and a system-wide modernization initiative already approved, the current fiscal cycle presents a clear, funded path to action. Consolidating fragmented alert systems now reduces operational risk, closes compliance gaps, and strengthens campus safety outcomes ahead of the next mandated audit.

High Priority
About this project
The college system has an active digital accessibility modernization initiative targeting WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, with an April 2026 deadline whose achievement remains unconfirmed. Unresolved gaps across public-facing portals and digital content create active legal exposure and equity risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
With the WCAG 2.1 AA deadline already passed and compliance unconfirmed, remediation is immediately urgent. A budget-approved modernization initiative and a newly onboarded CIO create a clear, funded pathway to act within the current fiscal cycle before legal and reputational risk escalates.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The college system carries active MFA and password security compliance obligations, with identity and access management tools that may be fragmented across the environment. A budget-approved IT and Cybersecurity Modernization initiative is underway for FY27, and a newly appointed CIO signals likely reassessment of existing security infrastructure and vendor alignment.
The opportunity
FY27 budget allocations for cybersecurity are confirmed, and the Texas TRUE Grant offers a potential funding path for qualifying training software and security equipment. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the institution to close compliance gaps, reduce credential-based risk, and align investments with leadership's modernization priorities.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The college system operates a fragmented, multi-platform endpoint environment with overlapping tools across device management and IT operations, creating inefficiency and elevated security risk. FY 2027 budget allocations for core infrastructure and campus technology confirm active investment, while ongoing MFA and cybersecurity compliance obligations require near-term action.
The opportunity
Budget-approved FY27 cybersecurity and infrastructure initiatives provide a clear funding path, and new executive IT leadership signals a near-term drive to consolidate and rationalize the current environment. Acting within this fiscal cycle aligns modernization efforts with approved allocations and reduces operational and compliance exposure.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Aging backup hardware and software present significant cybersecurity and continuity risk, with the institution's own strategic plan identifying replacement as a priority. FY27 budget allocations for core infrastructure and ongoing MFA and data protection obligations underscore the urgency of closing this gap.
The opportunity
This project is funded and active within the FY27 budget cycle, with the Texas TRUE Grant offering potential supplemental support for qualifying cybersecurity equipment. A newly appointed CIO with a cybersecurity modernization mandate creates strong institutional alignment for near-term procurement.
