Compliance
Sound Familiar?
The Problems Every Small-City Manager Recognizes
We work with cities and towns that carry enterprise responsibilities without enterprise resources. These come up in nearly every first conversation.
One overworked IT person (or none) covering every department
A CJIS audit finding list nobody has budget to close
Aging servers running utility billing and court software
Ransomware anxiety after the city two counties over got hit
Records requests eating your clerk's entire week
Vendors who don't understand government procurement
What We Handle
Compliance, Defense, and a Smarter City Hall
Three engagements cover what smaller cities need most: a compliant police department, a hardened city network, and AI that gives staff hours back.
Proven With Police Departments
CJIS Compliance for Your Police Department
We have established CJIS compliance for police departments, and we know exactly what your state auditor will look for: advanced authentication, encrypted MDTs, audit logging, personnel screening, and the documentation that proves it all. We build compliance into daily operations so the audit letter stops being scary.
- Gap assessment against the current CJIS Security Policy
- MFA, encrypted laptops and MDTs, segmented networks
- CJIS Security Addendum, screening, and training for all our technicians
- Audit-ready documentation and LASO support during state audits
- Dispatch, CAD/RMS, and evidence platform experience
Cities Are Targets
Ransomware Defense for City Hall
Small municipalities are a favorite ransomware target: valuable services, lean IT, and pressure to pay. We harden city networks the way we harden government agencies, with immutable backups, monitored endpoints, and a tested plan, so one bad click doesn't take down utility billing, permits, and the court system in one night.
- Immutable, tested backups for city systems and records
- 24/7 monitored endpoint protection across departments
- Network segmentation: police, utilities, admin, and public Wi-Fi apart
- Incident response plan aligned to state reporting duties
- Cyber-insurance questionnaire and renewal support
Do More With a Lean Staff
AI for Citizen Services, Done Safely
City staff drown in repetitive work AI handles well: agenda packets, meeting minutes, plain-language notices, records-request triage. We implement AI with the constraints local government actually has, public records law, CJIS boundaries, and council oversight, so your clerk gets hours back without creating tomorrow's headline.
- Agenda summaries, minutes, and plain-language citizen notices
- Records-request triage over already-public documents
- CJI kept strictly out of general-purpose AI tools
- Retainable logs and outputs for public-records compliance
- A short, council-adoptable AI policy that protects staff
