Lakeville subcommittee to review remediation steps from cyber trust audit; some fixes already applied

The Town of Lakeville Technology Subcommittee on July 1 reviewed the Cyber Trust audit completed last winter and directed the managed service provider to present a remediation status update at the next meeting.

Chair Christopher Plunker said the audit contains sensitive vulnerability information and requested that details be handled in executive session at a later meeting. He asked the managed service provider to list which items have been remediated and what remains, and to identify any budget impacts.

Bob McNally, representing Green River Associates, told the committee that some network changes recommended in the audit have already been implemented. McNally said additional software purchases are planned to address remaining items and that those purchases are included in the town’s current budget planning. The chair asked that McNally provide a prioritized list of remaining items at the next meeting and indicated the committee may recess to an executive session to discuss sensitive findings.

Committee members agreed that remediation should be prioritized by risk and that the subcommittee would work with McNally on an implementation plan and budget implications. The committee did not discuss specific vulnerabilities in open session because the audit contains sensitive technical details.
