Jay County cybersecurity taskforce recommends LEAP Managed IT; commissioners authorize contract negotiations
Summary
A county cybersecurity taskforce recommended LEAP Managed IT's full managed service (with a co-managed option for the security center); commissioners authorized county staff to pursue a proposed contract with LEAP Managed IT.
Emily Franks, a member of the county Cybersecurity Committee, read the taskforce's recommendation after presentations from LEAP Managed IT, Perry Pro Tech and Allstar Technologies. The taskforce recommended LEAP Managed IT's full managed service with a co-managed option for the Jay County Security Center so the county can avoid lapses in vendor support, ensure equal access to support across offices, and prepare for upcoming cybersecurity rules.
Commissioners voted unanimously to move forward with preparing a proposed contract with LEAP Managed IT. Franks summarized the county's selection factors as continuity of reporting to the council and commissioners, no lapse in support if an employee leaves, equal access to support across offices, a clear transition plan, and assistance with regulatory compliance.
