Our Local Government IT Framework
1. Stabilize Core Infrastructure
We assess and harden the systems local governments rely on daily:
- Network and firewall configuration
- Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace governance
- Backup and disaster recovery (RPO/RTO defined)
- Aging infrastructure risk reduction
Outcome: Fewer outages, fewer emergencies, fewer after-hours calls.
2. Reduce Cybersecurity & Compliance Risk
Local governments are frequent ransomware targets.
We implement practical security controls aligned to:
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework
- CJIS security expectations (where applicable)
- Cyber insurance underwriting requirements
- HIPAA Compliance Framework
This typically includes:
- MFA enforcement
- Endpoint detection & response (EDR)
- Phishing resilience training
- Documented policies for audits and grants
Outcome: Lower breach risk and stronger audit readiness.
3. Support Budget Predictability & Planning
We help IT leaders move from reactive spending to predictable planning:
- Fixed monthly pricing
- Lifecycle replacement schedules (3–5 year outlook)
- Grant-aligned documentation and justification support
Outcome: Fewer surprise expenses and easier board/council conversations.
4. Serve as an Extension of Your Team
Whether you have no internal IT staff or a small team, we integrate cleanly:
- Tiered help desk support
- Clear escalation paths
- Plain-English reporting for leadership
Outcome: Staff trust IT again.
