Endpoint Device Standardization & Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
TCAT Dickson has issued a system-wide RFI for endpoint device standardization across Tennessee Board of Regents institutions, with a proposal deadline of August 5, 2026. The initiative addresses gaps in centralized endpoint management and cybersecurity compliance, with no incumbent solution currently in place.
The opportunity
The active RFI deadline creates an immediate engagement window, supported by a recently approved technology access fee increase and broader state funding for TBR IT infrastructure. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions institutions to reduce operational risk and advance compliance across the college system.

Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
An existing Information Security Plan has not been fully verified for current implementation, creating a measurable compliance gap around identity and password management. Without confirmed controls in place, the institution faces audit exposure and operational risk across its centralized IT and service desk environment.
The opportunity
A system-wide RFI for endpoint and identity standardization creates a near-term procurement window aligned with this compliance need. Recent technology fee increases and state infrastructure funding support investment, and cooperative procurement pathways may reduce local burden ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
TCAT Dickson has unverified WCAG 2.1 conformance across its digital properties, creating measurable legal and accessibility compliance risk under ADA mandates. Without confirmed conformance, students and community members with disabilities may face barriers to accessing critical institutional resources and services.
The opportunity
ADA/WCAG compliance is a top urgency driver, and an existing document creation ecosystem on campus reduces adoption barriers and accelerates procurement timelines. Addressing conformance gaps now mitigates legal exposure, supports equitable access, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Mass Notification Review
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
TCAT Dickson's Emergency Operations Plan has an unknown review date, its mass notification contract lacks documented oversight, and no public drill results are on record. These gaps create measurable compliance and operational risk for students, staff, and campus continuity.
The opportunity
Emergency Management and Public Safety is a top institutional strategic priority, supporting internal budget alignment for EOP modernization in the upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces liability exposure and strengthens campus-wide preparedness before the next review or audit window.
