DOIT has requested the establishment of the Chief Information Technology Security Officer-Exempt classification. The focus of the classification will be on design, development, implementation, operation and maintenance of Countywide information security programs that are designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of all information, voice mobile, data network, application and computer infrastructure and their associated information assets. The Chief Information Technology Security Officer will create a comprehensive security strategy and programs, formulate security policies and procedure to assure full compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances and guidelines. Creation of this classification will allow the County Department of Technology to standardize and centrally deliver IT Security and disaster recovery services.
If this request is not approved, the Security division of DoIT will not be able to properly support the critical County Security program and could lead to severe negative impacts to all County Departments.
