Helping local governments avoid costly cybersecurity breaches

Our Office is dedicated to helping local and state governments across Washington avoid the potentially devastating effects of cybersecurity attacks. Much of the public data governments hold is sensitive in nature, and needs to be carefully guarded. That's why we are in the process of developing new, user-centered cybersecurity resources specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of your local government. We want to hear from you about what resources you'd most like to see, and what issues you want us to address. Take our short, anonymous survey to give us your important feedback.

The Office of the Washington State Auditor has put together a handy guide to various organizations that offer cybersecurity resources to local governments like yours—you can find this and other resources you may find helpful on our website.

We are always listening! If you want to start a conversation with us directly, email us at performance@sao.wa.gov.
