Livingston council adopts cybersecurity policy required by state law
Summary
The council approved a resolution adopting a municipal cybersecurity policy, noting the city contracts with cybersecurity firm VC 3 (contract began in 2023) and must review the policy every two years under state guidance.
The Livingston City Council voted to adopt a municipal cybersecurity policy that staff said is required by the state of Tennessee and must be updated and reviewed every two years. Chair explained that the city has contracted with a cybersecurity firm, VC 3, beginning in 2023 and that the proposed resolution adopts a policy based on examples from other municipalities.
Alderman Linder moved to adopt the resolution authorizing the city to enact a cybersecurity policy; Alderman Elder seconded. A minor typographical error in section 5 was noted for correction, and the council approved the resolution by voice vote.
The adopted resolution directs the city to maintain the policy and to review it on a two-year schedule in line with state guidance. Staff acknowledged the city is already working with an outside cybersecurity vendor and that the resolution formalizes the policy framework the city will use going forward. No roll-call vote tally was provided in the meeting record.
The council did not elaborate on contract terms with VC 3 during the meeting; staff said the firm began the contract in 2023.
