A legislative audit recommends annual cybersecurity assessment training for all state employees and says legislative IT officers are 'not compliant with recognizable and accepted cybersecurity standards.'
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah's judicial branch lacks a strategic plan to protect cybersecurity, and the legislative information technology office is not in compliance with cybersecurity standards, a recent legislative audit found., examined cybersecurity practices across the three branches of government in the state in addition to interlocal agencies.
The report notes that only 37% of surveys were returned, so the results are not comprehensive, but rates of compliance with industry security standards were low. Overall, 57% of respondents have adopted some form of security framework — like those recommended by the Center for Internet Security or the National Institute of Standards and Technology — although only 39% of cities and towns had adopted such standards.
Another key finding was that communication between information technology departments and management is lacking, in part due to "communication style and technical understanding." The Legislature's IT office "lack a cybersecurity strategic plan, insufficient cybersecurity policy and does not have an incident response plan to guide cybersecurity of the legislative branch," the report says.
