Summary

After the State Comptroller's audit required data tagging by sensitivity, the committee authorized a three-year Varonis contract at $82,182.64 per year to implement corrective actions and data tagging across county systems.

The committee authorized the Director of Information Technology to purchase Varonis software under a three-year contract at an annual cost of $82,182.64. The request followed corrective-action requirements in the State Comptroller's audit that call for tagging county information by sensitivity (protected health information, personal information, etc.).

According to the IT presentation, the first-year cost will be funded from the IT capital project, with recurring annual costs requiring addition to the county budget in subsequent years. Jeffrey P. Horton made the motion to authorize the purchase and William Thew seconded; the motion carried 5-0.
