Modernize Endpoint Management and IT Security Infrastructure
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Fragmented endpoint protection and the absence of unified IT management tools create measurable operational and security risk across the metropolitan government. Active hiring for workstation security and network operations roles signals recognized gaps, while expiring technology contracts create an immediate transition window requiring action.
The opportunity
FY27 budget is approved for IT and cybersecurity modernization, including cloud migration and AI-driven automation, making this a near-term, high-priority procurement window. Consolidating endpoint management and security tooling now reduces compliance exposure, supports new staff onboarding, and aligns with active budget authority before the fiscal cycle closes.

Discuss this project →Unified Credential Management for Utility Cybersecurity Compliance
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Madison Suburban Utility District lacks centralized password and credential management, creating a documented gap against active Tennessee cybersecurity mandates requiring annual documentation and plan updates for water utilities. The ongoing Azure Cloud migration and existing Microsoft 365 environment amplify credential security risk without a unified management solution in place.
The opportunity
FY27 budget discussions include approved increases for contractual IT licensing and cybersecurity, with no incumbent credential solution to displace. Addressing this gap now aligns with active compliance timelines, reduces audit and operational risk, and positions the utility to meet state mandates within the current budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Digital Accessibility & Web Compliance Modernization
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A dedicated Digital Accessibility Specialist role and Website & Digital Services initiative have been formally approved for FY27, signaling identified gaps in web accessibility and inclusive digital service delivery for residents. Unaddressed accessibility deficiencies carry compliance risk under federal standards and limit equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
With budget and staffing already approved for FY27, procurement timelines are near-term and well-defined, reducing barriers to action. Advancing this initiative now ensures compliance readiness, improves equitable resident access, and aligns with the jurisdiction's broader digital inclusion commitments.

Discuss this project →Establish Fleet Safety Controls and Telematics Monitoring
Fleet Safety · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
MSUD operates trucks and field equipment without documented fleet safety controls or telematics monitoring in place. While no acute incidents have been recorded, the absence of formal oversight creates an unaddressed operational risk exposure for staff, assets, and public liability.
The opportunity
Addressing this gap proactively—before an incident occurs—positions MSUD to reduce liability exposure and strengthen safety documentation ahead of future insurance or audit reviews. Cooperative procurement vehicles may offer a streamlined, cost-effective path to implementation within current budget planning cycles.

Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan Development for Water Utility
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Madison Suburban Utility District faces an active mandate to develop an Emergency Operations Plan, with no current plan documented. The absence of a formal EOP elevates operational and compliance risk, particularly given the region's recent severe weather events such as the area ice storm response.
The opportunity
An unfulfilled compliance mandate creates a near-term planning imperative ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle, with EOP development eligible for alignment with state emergency preparedness requirements. Addressing this gap now reduces regulatory exposure and strengthens continuity of essential water services for the community.
