Centralized Credential & Password Management
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
A compliance mandate requires centralized credential and password management, yet agency-wide deployment remains unconfirmed—leaving a critical gap in identity and access controls. A recent vendor data breach affecting over 171,000 members underscores the operational and reputational risk of delayed action.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes significant cybersecurity funding increases, creating a timely pathway to close compliance gaps and strengthen member data protection. Acting within the current budget cycle reduces breach exposure and aligns with cooperative procurement vehicles that streamline acquisition.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A confirmed vendor data breach affecting over 170,000 retirement system members has exposed critical gaps in endpoint visibility and credential management. The FY 2026–2027 recommended budget explicitly identifies funding for endpoint management and cybersecurity posture improvements, signaling an urgent, recognized need.
The opportunity
With dedicated budget lines already proposed for the upcoming fiscal year and a greenfield procurement landscape, this is a well-timed opportunity to strengthen member data protection and operational resilience. Cooperative procurement vehicles are available to streamline acquisition and accelerate deployment within the current planning cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Sector Resilience
High Priority
About this project
No current Emergency Operations Plan has been identified, and a recent vendor cyber incident exposed critical gaps in incident communication and member notification. These gaps create operational and reputational risk for a retirement system responsible for the financial security of tens of thousands of public employees.
The opportunity
Incoming leadership across board and executive roles presents a timely opening to formalize emergency preparedness as part of broader operational modernization. Acting within the current budget planning cycle aligns EOP development with recommended technology and cybersecurity investment increases already under consideration.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Preparedness · Incident Communications
High Priority
About this project
No mass-notification solution has been confirmed for this public retirement system, leaving over 170,000 members without a reliable incident communication channel. A prior vendor data breach exposed this gap, elevating operational and reputational risk for an entity with significant member-facing obligations.
The opportunity
New leadership and a recent cyber incident have created urgency to close this communication gap ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle. Addressing this now strengthens incident response readiness and supports the organization's broader commitment to member safety and operational continuity.
Pension System Modernization & Data Integrity Program
Pension Administration · Data Governance
High Priority
About this project
The legacy ARIS pension administration system is slated for full replacement, with parallel workstreams addressing data cleansing, conversion, and compliance policy management. A confirmed vendor data breach affecting over 170,000 members has elevated urgency around secure data handling and operational integrity across the retirement system.
The opportunity
Recommended FY 2026–2027 budget increases for technology and cybersecurity signal strong institutional investment appetite, and new leadership creates a timely opening to advance data governance and compliance initiatives. Addressing these workstreams now reduces member risk, supports audit readiness, and aligns with the organization's broader modernization trajectory.
