Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A 38-vehicle fleet currently lacks documented modern safety controls such as dash-cams and GPS telematics, creating a visibility and accountability gap. Statewide insurance premiums have risen 23.3%, signaling an elevated risk environment that incomplete fleet oversight compounds for staff and the public.
The opportunity
An active Vehicle Replacement initiative confirms budget-approved modernization intent, and existing cooperative purchasing agreements enable a streamlined procurement path. Advancing fleet telematics now reduces liability exposure, supports operational accountability, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The commission has budget-approved initiatives for UI cybersecurity and information systems security, with a password security governance mandate due August 31, 2026. No confirmed incumbent exists for password or privileged access management, leaving a critical gap in access controls that elevates operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The August 2026 compliance deadline creates near-term urgency, and FY 2026 funding is already approved for cybersecurity modernization. The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program offers an additional funding path, while incoming IT-focused leadership signals strong receptivity to advancing access management and security governance now.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Management & PC Refresh Compliance Readiness
IT Modernization · Endpoint Security
High Priority
About this project
An active hardware lifecycle refresh is underway alongside a mandated endpoint management compliance deadline of June 2026, creating concurrent operational and regulatory pressure. Without a confirmed endpoint management solution in place, the agency faces elevated risk of non-compliance, security gaps, and disruption to IT continuity.
The opportunity
The June 2026 compliance deadline and an ongoing PC refresh initiative create a budget-aligned, time-sensitive window to act. State cybersecurity grant funding may offset costs, and the absence of an incumbent solution removes displacement barriers—enabling a clean, mission-focused implementation.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility Remediation for WCAG 2.1 Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The commission faces a mandated WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2027, with an approximately eight-month remediation window remaining. Public-facing digital properties and documents require significant accessibility improvements, creating elevated legal and operational risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
FY 2026 funding for IT priorities is approved and a leadership transition creates a favorable environment for initiating remediation now. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures sufficient runway to meet the fixed regulatory deadline and fulfill equitable public access obligations.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Emergency Preparedness and Business Continuity
Emergency Management · Business Continuity
High Priority
About this project
The commission lacks a verified current EOP/COOP, has no identified mass-notification platform, and carries a vacant Business Continuity Coordinator role. A recent disaster declaration has exposed these gaps, elevating operational risk to staff, services, and the public workforce programs the agency supports.
The opportunity
Leadership transition and an active Sunset Advisory Commission review have created a timely window to address preparedness gaps before they affect mission continuity or audit standing. Existing IT budget capacity and state cooperative purchasing channels support near-term action without requiring a dedicated new appropriation.
IT Modernization and Data Governance Advancement
IT Modernization · Data Governance
High Priority
About this project
A formal Sunset Advisory Commission review explicitly identified weaknesses in IT modernization, procurement, and data governance, creating institutional accountability pressure and public scrutiny. These findings elevate operational and compliance risk across workforce-serving systems, with near-term mandates for cybersecurity and infrastructure improvements already on record.
The opportunity
Active grant funding for IT initiatives, including state and federal cybersecurity programs, provides a viable funding pathway aligned with the current fiscal cycle. New executive leadership with a strong IT background makes this an optimal moment to advance modernization priorities, reduce compliance exposure, and strengthen public service delivery.
