Narrative of Resolution:
title
This resolution adopts a fully modernized and consolidated information technology and cybersecurity governance framework for Sullivan County. The policy replaces fragmented and outdated guidance with a single, unified standard that establishes clear authority, consistent requirements, and County-wide accountability. The framework aligns with applicable State and Federal regulations and incorporates recognized cybersecurity best practices to address the increasing risk of ransomware, data breaches, and system disruption. It also improves operational consistency, simplifies administration, and strengthens the County's ability to respond to incidents in a coordinated and defensible manner. By adopting this policy, the County enhances protection of sensitive information, supports continuity of operations, and ensures a clear, enforceable structure for managing technology and cybersecurity risks across all departments.
