Kittitas County IT plans incident‑response contract and simulation training with Lumifi Cyber
Summary
Kittitas County IT told commissioners it is negotiating a contract with Lumifi Cyber Inc. to build an incident‑response plan and deliver hands‑on training and simulation exercises, funded by a State & Local Cybersecurity Program grant routed through the sheriff's office.
Kittitas County IT staff said on April 28 they are developing a contract with Lumifi Cyber Inc. to assess county systems, draft an incident‑response plan, and train staff on responding to technology incidents.
According to the meeting minutes, the IT department will have Lumifi produce an assessment and a statement of work (SOW) to be reviewed by county legal and returned to the Board of County Commissioners for placement on a future agenda. IT Director Doug Fessler said Lumifi will also provide a training simulation and the board was invited to participate in that exercise.
The minutes state the project will be funded through the State & Local Cybersecurity Program Grant. That state grant was received by the sheriff’s department, which is allocating a portion of the award to IT projects. The transcript does not specify the grant amount allocated to this particular contract or the expected total contract value.
County staff described the work as an exercise in readiness and training rather than creation of a permanent new program. The item was discussed in the study session; no formal motion or vote was recorded on the incident‑response SOW at the meeting.
Next steps recorded in the minutes include Lumifi drafting the SOW, IT submitting it to county legal, and IT placing the finalized item on a future BoCC agenda for potential formal action.
