For Cities, Counties & School Districts
Does Your Agency Meet Texas Cybersecurity Mandates?
Texas law requires local governments and school districts to adopt cybersecurity policies, train staff, and designate a coordinator. Enter your domain or email for an instant audit.
What Texas Requires of Public Entities
Public agencies are prime targets for phishing and ransomware, and Texas has written the response into law: mandatory employee training, a designated security coordinator, and adopted cybersecurity policies.
1. Adopt & Document Policy
Cities, counties and ISDs must adopt cybersecurity policies aligned with the Texas DIR framework — and be able to show them.
2. Secure Public Communications
Authenticated email and transport security so residents, vendors and staff can trust messages from your domain — the first things our audit scores.
3. Train Staff & Designate a Coordinator
HB 3834 requires certified cybersecurity awareness training for employees, and ISDs must designate a cybersecurity coordinator under SB 820.
The Golden Rule: Adopt the policy, train every year, and keep the records.
Meet the mandate with confidence
We harden your email and web presence, deliver staff training, and document the policies state law requires your agency to maintain.
