IT manager seeks one‑year 24/7 monitoring service; county to protect procurement records
Summary
IT manager Mattson proposed a one‑year 24/7 managed detection and response (MDR) purchase from CompuNet for $51,009.50 (state contract NASPO AR‑2472). He said security‑related procurement records will be withheld under state records protections and legal will review contract terms; commissioners did not record a formal approval during the meeting.
Uintah County IT manager Mattson presented a proposal to purchase a one‑year 24/7 managed detection and response service from CompuNet for $51,009.50 on the Utah state contract (NASPO AR‑2472). He described the service as continuous monitoring of network transactional data with alerting and, when necessary, preventative actions.
Mattson said another Utah county had experienced a ransomware breach, which prompted consideration of a monitoring and response service. He also explained that some procurement documents and security details would be protected under state records law (cited in the transcript as Title 63G) because they relate to security measures. Commissioners expressed interest but noted there is not yet a formal contract packet; legal review was requested before final action.
No formal, recorded motion to approve a contract was taken in the meeting minutes for this item; staff indicated they would proceed through normal purchasing policy and work with legal to finalize any contract language that must remain confidential for security reasons.
