Board adopts updated IT incident response policy with added reporting requirements
Summary
Stevens County accepted revisions to its IT incident response plan that update job titles and add language specifying reporting obligations to state agencies and partners following recent Minnesota legislation.
The board voted to accept updates to the county's incident response plan presented by IT Director Vicki Townsend. The changes reflect updated job titles and add explicit policy language about which outside agencies the county must notify in the event of certain cyber incidents.
Townsend said the revisions “added some language in there that includes how we have to respond in an incident” and noted the change is intended to move procedural reporting steps into policy language after state legislation clarified reporting expectations. A commissioner moved to accept the changes and the board approved them by voice vote. The policy change will be incorporated into the county's response procedures and the updated documents will be filed with county records.
