High Priority
About this project
The University of Texas System faces a hard WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, with a systemwide remediation program already underway. Recent audits have cited IT governance deficiencies, elevating legal and reputational risk if accessibility gaps are not resolved in time.
The opportunity
The 2027 deadline creates near-term urgency for procurement decisions, and cooperative purchasing channels are available to streamline acquisition and support responsible use of public funds. Acting within the current planning cycle allows the institution to align remediation efforts with existing technology investments and avoid compliance penalties.

High Priority
About this project
UTS 165 and 165.2 policies mandate MFA and privileged access governance across the system, yet the current credential vault solution dates to 2017–2018 and is likely overdue for replacement. An active campus-level transition to a new password management platform signals a broader systemwide reevaluation, elevating both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
A $123.4 million technology deferred-maintenance capital program and dedicated cybersecurity budget requests create identified funding capacity for this initiative now. Aligning procurement with the active UTS 165 compliance mandate and the ongoing credential management transition reduces audit exposure and strengthens systemwide security posture.

About this project
A $123.4 million systemwide technology deferred-maintenance capital program is underway, with active endpoint and device management initiatives identified. Recent audits have flagged undocumented business continuity and disaster recovery plans, unperformed user access reviews, and enterprise support contracts—including security and ERP platforms—expiring in late 2026, elevating operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Contract expirations in late 2026 create a defined, near-term procurement window aligned with dedicated capital funding already allocated for infrastructure modernization. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the institution to remediate audit findings, close governance gaps, and reduce continuity risk before support lapses.

Discuss this project →Systemwide Emergency Operations & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An internal audit identified a high-risk mass-notification control weakness, and the system lacks a single, consolidated Emergency Operations Plan across its institutions. Active NIMS-compliant EOP development and annual review mandates remain unmet, elevating regulatory, safety, and operational risk for students, staff, and the broader campus community.
The opportunity
Recent leadership transitions and a documented audit finding create a timely opening to re-evaluate and strengthen systemwide emergency preparedness strategy. Addressing these gaps now supports compliance, reduces institutional liability, and aligns with the current technology infrastructure investment cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Oversight
Fleet Management · Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The University of Texas System operates a distributed fleet without consolidated accident data or active controls for monitoring driver behavior, creating gaps in oversight and post-incident accountability. The absence of telematics and dash camera integration limits the system's ability to identify risk patterns, support investigations, or leverage existing GIS mapping infrastructure.
The opportunity
Recent leadership transitions create a timely opening to advance fleet safety as a strategic priority, and established cooperative procurement channels reduce barriers to implementation. Addressing this gap now strengthens operational risk management and positions the system for future safety-related funding alignment.
