Counties are under constant pressure to keep sensitive data secure, yet the question many leaders ask is: “Where do we start?” The good news is there are simple, proven steps to get a clear picture of your current security posture and reduce your risk.
- Email Domain Health
Your email system is one of the most common entry points for attackers. Ensuring that SPF (Sender Policy Framework), DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), and DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting & Conformance) are properly configured protects your organization from email spoofing and phishing attacks. These checks are quick and can reveal whether your email is fully protected—or leaving the door open. - Dark Web Credential Scan
Compromised logins and passwords are regularly traded on the dark web. A periodic scan can identify if your staff credentials have been exposed. If so, the solution is straightforward: change the password on the compromised site and enable multifactor authentication (MFA) for added protection. - Security Score Assessment: https://covenant.global/services/whats-your-security-score/
