County staff outline plan to switch policy and cybersecurity training platforms; say change could save money
Loading...
Summary
Duchesne County staff described a plan to transition from current policy and cybersecurity vendors to a state-supported platform that they say would preserve features, add compliance training and trim annual costs; staff will return with a draft agenda item and next steps.
County IT and HR staff told the Duchesne County Commission on Nov. 10 they are exploring switching the county's policy, phishing and cybersecurity-training subscriptions from current vendors to a state-provided platform.
IT staff said the state platform would include the features the county uses now, add compliance and cybersecurity-awareness training, and could be covered by a state grant; staff estimated about $13,000 in annual savings for some services and an additional $2,316 in savings on other licenses. The meeting's presentation covered data migration options (exporting existing campaign data and user lists), timing and possible refunds for overlapping subscriptions.
"It would save the county because right now with Lexapol, we're paying $8,229 and 48¢ per year," a staff member said, summarizing current costs and the potential savings from the state agreement. Staff said moving platforms would require re-creating or exporting user accounts and that the county would try to preserve data and seek possible refunds for overlapping paid time.
Commissioners directed staff to return next week with agenda language so the board could consider a 30-day notice to terminate the county's current vendor agreement if desired.
