IT says regular audits and self-testing keep city systems under review; officials decline to detail specific infrastructure
Summary
City IT officials told councilors they conduct regular audits, security testing and internal reviews; they declined to discuss detailed infrastructure publicly for security reasons but said internal audit performs routine IT audits.
Andy Doty, speaking for Information Technology, told the Springfield City Council Committee of the Whole on May 21 that the city conducts regular internal and external IT audits and security testing to protect municipal systems.
Doty said internal audit performs IT audits every other year and that the IT department also performs self-testing and routine security checks. He declined to discuss infrastructure details publicly "for obvious reasons," but told councilors the department is up to date on routine audits and reviews.
Councilors asked whether audit funding and security posture were adequate; Doty said the city budgets for periodic audits and security assessments and that the department performs both in-house checks and external audits through internal audit. Questions about specific infrastructure or vulnerabilities were not discussed publicly.
No formal votes were taken; councilors accepted the summary and did not request additional public detail on the city's security posture.
