Endpoint Device Standardization & Cybersecurity Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
TCAT Athens faces identified endpoint management gaps and service delivery deficiencies across campus devices, with no standardized cybersecurity management framework currently in place. The Tennessee Board of Regents has issued a formal RFI covering this initiative, signaling a system-level compliance and operational priority with a defined response deadline.
The opportunity
A hard August 5, 2026 RFI deadline creates an immediate, time-bound procurement window aligned with a TBR-approved systemwide technology access fee increase designated for campus technology upgrades. Acting within this cycle positions TCAT Athens to close operational gaps, strengthen cybersecurity posture, and leverage dedicated funding already approved for this purpose.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
TCAT Athens has formally adopted WCAG 2.0 Level A/AA and Section 508 standards, creating an explicit compliance mandate for its Drupal-based web environment. Gaps in accessible digital content and workflows elevate legal and equity risk, particularly as a new academic building and expanded education pathways increase the institution's public-facing digital footprint.
The opportunity
A systemwide technology access fee increase approved for campus technology upgrades provides a direct funding pathway, and the TN Accelerate grant further supports expanded digital access initiatives. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses a top-priority compliance driver while ensuring equitable access for all students and community members.

Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
TCAT Athens relies on a fragmented, unverified mass-notification process with no documented exercise or audit evidence, leaving emergency plans incomplete. Active emergency management mandates require demonstrated preparedness, creating measurable compliance and operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
A Tennessee Board of Regents–approved systemwide technology fee increase provides a direct funding pathway for campus safety upgrades in the current budget cycle. Addressing notification gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens continuity, and positions the institution ahead of required emergency management reviews.
Credential & Identity Security Management
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The institution's cloud productivity environment and cybersecurity academic partnerships signal a growing need for structured credential and identity security controls. General cybersecurity safeguards are a noted compliance requirement, and gaps in identity management elevate risk for staff, students, and institutional data.
The opportunity
A Tennessee Board of Regents–approved systemwide technology access fee increase provides a direct funding pathway for campus cybersecurity upgrades in the current budget cycle. Addressing credential and identity security now reduces institutional risk and aligns with active compliance mandates and strategic academic initiatives.
