County IT seeks data-classification software after state audit flagged unclassified files
Summary
Information Technology requested authority to procure Varonis via NY-OGS to classify county data after a state audit noted gaps. No final quote was available; the director will return with costs following the bid process.
Rob Wolverton told the committee the county needs to classify departmental data to identify personal health information and social security numbers flagged in a recent State audit. Wolverton asked for authorization to purchase Varonis off the NY-OGS bid; he said he did not yet have a final quote and would return to committee with numbers after completing the bid process.
"This was an item that was noted on our recent audit with the State; we did not have all our data classified for every department to indicate whether it is personal health information or social security number," Wolverton said. The committee did not vote on a dollar amount at the meeting; the request was advanced for future approval once procurement numbers are available.
Committee members asked clarifying questions about procurement steps and audit follow-up; staff committed to return with a formal cost estimate and procurement timeline.
