County staff flag plan to procure data-classification tool through NY OGS
Summary
Information-technology staff told the board they plan to procure a data-classification tool available through New York State OGS after a state audit flagged gaps in how county data is classified; staff said they will return with quotes after a mini-bid.
Information-technology staff told the board they plan to acquire a data-classification product available through New York State OGS to tag county files (for example, marking PII and other sensitive categories) after a state audit noted incomplete data classification across departments. Staff said only SKUs were provided by the vendor and that they will return with formal pricing and a bid recommendation.
"We got dinged on it with the state audit," Information technology staff said, explaining the county lacks consistent classification tags for department data. Staff emphasized the procurement will follow OGS or mini-bid procedures and that no final quote or contract was presented during the meeting. The board received the information item and staff will bring a formal bid or quote later.
Nut graf: The item was informational — staff signaled a follow-up procurement step rather than immediate authorization. The vendor name as spoken in the meeting was "Baroness" and was noted as available through New York State OGS; staff did not present a price at the meeting.
