If any of these describe your agency, you need Technijian.

Ransomware shut down your city’s systems for 3 weeks and residents couldn’t pay utility bills

A city employee opened an email that appeared to be from a vendor about a purchase order. Within 6 hours, ransomware had encrypted the finance system, the utility billing platform, the permitting system, and 4 years of shared drive files. Residents couldn’t pay water bills online or in person. Building permits couldn’t be processed. Payroll was disrupted. The city council held an emergency session. The ransom demand: $600,000. Your cyber insurance (if you have it) has a $100K deductible and the carrier is questioning whether basic security controls were in place. The FBI was called. Local media ran the story for 2 weeks. Recovery took 22 days. Total cost: over $1.2 million in direct response, lost productivity, emergency IT consulting, legal fees, and resident notification. The attack started with one phishing email.

Your IT department has 2 people managing 300 employees across 6 buildings and they’re drowning

Your city or district has 300 employees across 6 facilities: city hall, public works yard, community center, police station, fire administration, and a satellite office. Two IT staff manage everything: 300 workstations, 12 servers, 6 firewalls, WiFi at every building, the phone system, the permitting software, the finance system, utility billing, GIS, the website, body cameras, 911 CAD integration, and every vendor relationship. They work 7 AM to 4 PM. When the council chamber AV fails during Tuesday night’s city council meeting, nobody answers. When the finance server has issues at 6 AM before payroll, it waits until 7. They haven’t done a security assessment in 3 years. They know they need MFA but haven’t had time to deploy it. They’re excellent at putting out fires and terrible at preventing them.

The state cybersecurity grant requires a NIST-aligned assessment and you don’t know where to start

California’s State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) funded by the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act provides funding for local government cybersecurity improvements. But the grant requires a cybersecurity plan aligned to NIST CSF and CISA Cybersecurity Performance Goals (CPGs). Your city needs to demonstrate: asset inventory, vulnerability assessment capability, incident response planning, and progress toward Zero Trust maturity. They don’t have the expertise or bandwidth to conduct a NIST-aligned assessment, write a cybersecurity plan, implement the controls the plan requires, and document everything the grant demands. You’re leaving federal cybersecurity money on the table because you can’t meet the application requirements.

A California Public Records Act request just exposed that your ‘cybersecurity’ is basically nothing

A resident or journalist filed a California Public Records Act (CPRA) request for your city’s cybersecurity policies, incident response plan, and IT security audit results. The response revealed: no written cybersecurity policy, no incident response plan, no security audit has ever been conducted, MFA is not enabled on any system, the firewall firmware hasn’t been updated in 3 years, and there’s no employee security training program. The CPRA response became a news story. The city council is now demanding answers. Residents are asking why their utility payment data and personal information isn’t being protected. And every attacker who reads that article now knows your city is an easy target. Government transparency is a public good — but it also means your security posture (or lack thereof) is visible to everyone, including threat actors.

Typical Government IT vs. Technijian

❌ Typical Government IT Situation

  • 2-person IT team managing 300+ users across 6+ facilities
  • City hall, PD, fire, public works all on one flat network — zero segmentation
  • No MFA one phished password = access to finance, HR, and utility billing
  • Firewall firmware from 2021, default admin credentials never changed
  • Backup is a NAS in the server room (ransomware encrypts it too)
  • No NIST CSF alignment can’t qualify for state cybersecurity grants
  • CPRA response reveals no security policies, no audits, no training program

✓ Technijian Government IT

  • Augment your IT team with 24/7 helpdesk, engineering, and security
  • Network segmentation: admin, public safety, public WiFi, IoT/cameras on separate VLANs
  • MFA enforced on all systems with access to PII, financial, or CJIS data
  • Enterprise firewall with IDS/IPS, managed firmware, rule auditing
  • Documented incident response plan tested annually (tabletop + technical)
  • Immutable backup in isolated environment ransomware-proof
  • NIST CSF-aligned security program with CISA CPG mapping
  • Written policies, annual assessments, training program

Why Local Government Is Ground Zero for Ransomware (and Why the $600,000 Ransom Isn’t Even the Expensive Part)

 

Why Attackers Target Cities, Counties, and Special Districts

Local governments rank among the most targeted entities for ransomware attacks. The reason is straightforward: cities, counties, and special districts hold massive amounts of resident data, including utility accounts, permit records, HR files, and tax information. At the same time, these agencies typically operate on tight IT budgets with minimal cybersecurity staff.

Furthermore, government agencies run systems that citizens depend on daily — utility billing, permitting, and public safety dispatch. As a result, attackers know that a city with encrypted systems faces enormous pressure from elected officials, media, and residents to restore services quickly. In other words, government agencies are both easy to breach and highly motivated to pay.

The Real Cost: Far Beyond the Ransom Demand

Surprisingly, the ransom demand is rarely the most expensive part of the attack. A typical government ransomware incident costs $150,000–$500,000 in incident response consulting alone. On top of that, legal fees add $50,000–$200,000 for breach notification and regulatory compliance.

Additionally, system rebuild costs range from $100,000–$500,000 when backups fail. Other expenses include weeks of staff overtime, emergency hardware purchases at premium prices, and cyber insurance deductibles averaging $50,000–$250,000 for government. Perhaps most damaging, however, is the loss of public trust and negative media coverage that follows.

For example, when Atlanta was hit by ransomware, total recovery costs exceeded $17 million. Similarly, Baltimore’s recovery surpassed $18 million. While these are extreme cases, even small California cities routinely spend $500,000–$2,000,000 recovering from ransomware incidents.

How Technijian Defends Government Agencies at Every Stage

Technijian’s approach addresses every stage of a ransomware attack. For prevention, we deploy EDR/XDR on every endpoint, email security that catches phishing, MFA that prevents credential theft, and network segmentation that contains any breach to one zone.

For detection, our 24/7 monitoring alerts on suspicious activity within minutes — not after weeks of dwell time. Meanwhile, our documented incident response plan provides pre-assigned roles, communication templates, CISA notification steps, and legal counsel coordination for rapid response.

Finally, for recovery, immutable backup ensures ransomware cannot touch your data. We test these backups monthly and document RTOs by system priority. Consequently, comprehensive ransomware defense costs a fraction of one ransomware recovery — and your city can demonstrate to council, residents, and insurers that it has taken reasonable measures to protect public systems.

NIST CSF, CISA CPGs, and the SLCGP: Making Sense of Government Cybersecurity Requirements in 2026

 

From Best Practice to Funded Mandate

Government cybersecurity has shifted from optional best practice to a funded mandate. Specifically, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act established the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP), setting aside $1 billion over four years for state, local, and territorial government cybersecurity improvements.

California’s share amounts to millions in funding distributed through Cal OES, with 80% required to flow to local governments. As a result, this money is available to SoCal cities, counties, and special districts. However, agencies can only access these funds if they meet the application requirements.

What the SLCGP Grant Requires From Your Agency

To qualify, the SLCGP requires a CISA-approved Cybersecurity Plan aligned to NIST CSF. This plan must describe your current security posture, identify gaps, and outline projects to address them. In addition, agencies must submit project proposals mapping to one of four program objectives: governance and planning, assessment and evaluation, security implementation, or workforce training.

Beyond the initial plan, ongoing reporting must demonstrate progress toward CISA Cybersecurity Performance Goals. These CPGs are specific, measurable practices — for instance, maintaining an asset inventory, fixing known exploited vulnerabilities within 45 days, enabling MFA on critical systems, and implementing incident response planning. Each CPG maps directly to NIST CSF functions.

How Technijian Positions Your Agency for Grant Funding

Technijian helps SoCal government agencies access SLCGP funding through a structured process. First, we conduct a NIST CSF assessment documenting your current tier across all 6 functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.

Next, our CISA CPG gap analysis identifies which performance goals you meet and which need work. Based on these findings, we develop a cybersecurity plan that satisfies SLCGP requirements and draft project proposals for eligible improvements like network segmentation, MFA deployment, EDR rollout, and backup modernization.

Importantly, for most SoCal government agencies, the SLCGP can fund 80–100% of the cybersecurity improvements Technijian recommends. Therefore, the assessment and pla

The Government IT Staffing Crisis: Why Co-Managed IT Is the Future for SoCal Public Agencies

 

The Salary Gap Government Cannot Close

Government IT departments across SoCal face a staffing crisis that shows no signs of improving. The core problem is that government salary scales cannot compete with private sector IT pay. For example, a qualified network engineer commands $100,000–$130,000 in the private sector, while government pay scales often cap at $85,000–$95,000 for the same role.

Similarly, a cybersecurity analyst earns $120,000–$160,000 in private industry, yet government classification systems rarely accommodate this level. Because of this gap, IT positions go unfilled for months, qualified staff leave for private sector raises, and those who remain are stretched across too many duties with no room for specialization.

Why Full Outsourcing Doesn’t Always Fit Government

The traditional answer — fully outsource IT to a managed service provider — doesn’t always work for government. Many agencies already have excellent internal IT staff who understand the agency’s operations, culture, and politics deeply.

For instance, these staff members know that the finance director needs her spreadsheet macros preserved during the M365 migration. They also know which council member will personally call the IT director when email stops working. This kind of institutional knowledge is irreplaceable and shouldn’t be discarded.

The Co-Managed Model: Best of Both Worlds

Technijian’s co-managed model keeps your internal IT team doing what they do best — strategic planning, departmental relationships, and institutional knowledge. Meanwhile, Technijian fills the gaps they can’t cover on their own.

Specifically, we provide 24/7 monitoring and after-hours support, since your IT staff work 8–5 while threats operate around the clock. We also bring cybersecurity expertise that generalist IT staff shouldn’t be expected to have, along with NIST CSF and CJIS compliance knowledge, network engineering skills, and project-based work like infrastructure upgrades and new facility buildouts.

Under this model, your IT director remains in charge and your internal staff handle day-to-day operations. At the same time, Technijian provides the 24/7 coverage, specialization, and scalability that government budgets simply can’t staff internally. This co-managed approach is why Technijian is the preferred IT partner for SoCal government agencies that need more capability without the political challenge of adding headcount.

Our 6-Phase Government IT Onboarding

Assess → Segment → Comply → Protect → Document → Operate

Weeks 1-2
Government IT & Security Assessment

We begin with a comprehensive audit aligned to NIST CSF and CISA Cross-Sector Cybersecurity Performance Goals. This includes asset inventory across all facilities, network architecture review, identity and access management audit, and vulnerability assessment. Additionally, we evaluate endpoint security, email protection, backup posture, and incident response readiness. Finally, we map your compliance status against NIST CSF tiers, CISA CPGs, CJIS requirements, and California CCPA/CPRA obligations. The output is a Government IT Security Assessment Report with a remediation roadmap and SLCGP grant eligibility.

Weeks 4-7
Backup, DR & Ransomware Defense

Government agencies face unique compliance and transparency requirements: NIST CSF alignment documentation (current tier assessment, target tier, remediation plan — required for SLCGP grant eligibility), CISA Cybersecurity Performance Goals mapping (demonstrate progress toward CPGs for grant reporting), CJIS Security Policy compliance documentation (for agencies with law enforcement), California CCPA/CPRA compliance (resident data handling obligations), California Public Records Act readiness (documented security policies, assessment results, and incident response plans.

Weeks 2-5
Network Segmentation & Security Hardening

Government networks must segment administrative, public safety, public-facing, and IoT systems: enterprise firewall deployment at each facility with unified security policies, VLAN architecture (administrative/finance on isolated VLAN, public safety/CJIS on dedicated secured VLAN, public WiFi completely separated, IoT/cameras/SCADA on management VLAN), inter-building connectivity secured via site-to-site VPN or SD-WAN with encryption, MFA deployment on all systems (phishing-resistant for administrators — FIDO2 or Authenticator number matching).

Weeks 6-8
Compliance Documentation & Grant Support

Government agencies face unique compliance and transparency requirements: NIST CSF alignment documentation (current tier assessment, target tier, remediation plan — required for SLCGP grant eligibility), CISA Cybersecurity Performance Goals mapping (demonstrate progress toward CPGs for grant reporting), CJIS Security Policy compliance documentation (for agencies with law enforcement), California CCPA/CPRA compliance (resident data handling obligations), California Public Records Act readiness (documented security policies, assessment results, and incident response plans that demonstrate due diligence when CPRA requests are filed), AB 2813 compliance for California local agencies (if applicable), and insurance documentation.

Weeks 3-6
CJIS Compliance & Public Safety IT

For agencies with law enforcement or accessing FBI CJIS data: CJIS Security Policy compliance covering advanced authentication (MFA for all CJIS access), encryption (FIPS 140-2 validated, AES 256-bit for data at rest and in transit), access controls (personnel screening, individual accountability, least privilege), audit logging (all access to CJIS systems logged and retained), physical security for CJIS terminals, incident response specific to CJIS data, media protection (sanitization of devices containing CJIS data), and personnel security (background checks for all individuals with CJIS access).

Ongoing
Managed Government IT Operations

Your government IT environment fully managed or co-managed alongside your internal team: 24/7 monitoring with <15 min response, including evenings and emergencies. In addition, we handle proactive patching during maintenance windows with careful change management. Our helpdesk supports all staff, and we provide council meeting AV support. Furthermore, NIST CSF improvement continues through quarterly reviews, annual pen testing, and yearly incident response tabletop exercises. We also deliver security awareness training, SLCGP grant reporting, and quarterly executive reports for city manager and council showing security posture and technology roadmap.

Government IT Services

IT built for the unique requirements of public sector agencies.

🔒Government Cybersecurity & Ransomware Defense

State and local government is the most ransomware-targeted sector alongside manufacturing and healthcare. Government agencies hold resident PII (utility accounts, permit applications, business licenses, public records), employee PII (HR, payroll, benefits), financial data, law enforcement records, and critical infrastructure controls. When ransomware hits a city, every department stops: finance can’t process payments, public works can’t dispatch, utilities can’t bill, and residents lose trust. Technijian provides government cybersecurity: EDR/XDR on every endpoint, email security targeting government-specific phishing (vendor impersonation, fake grant notifications, spoofed state agencies).

  • EDR/XDR on all endpoints (ransomware prevention)
  • Email security (gov-specific anti-phishing)
  • MFA on all systems with PII or financial data
  • Network segmentation (admin, public safety, public WiFi, IoT)
  • DNS filtering & web security
  • Annual penetration testing & vulnerability scanning
  • Security awareness training + phishing simulations
  • Immutable backup (ransomware-proof recovery)

📄NIST CSF & CISA Compliance

Federal funding (SLCGP grants), state mandates, and cyber insurance all increasingly require alignment to NIST Cybersecurity Framework and CISA Cybersecurity Performance Goals. Technijian provides: NIST CSF assessment (Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover — current tier evaluation across all 6 functions), CISA CPG gap analysis (mapping your controls against CISA’s recommended Cross-Sector Performance Goals), remediation planning and implementation, SLCGP grant documentation support (cybersecurity plan, project proposals, capability assessments, reporting), and continuous improvement tracking (quarterly reviews moving from current tier to target tier).

  • NIST CSF current-tier assessment (6 functions)
  • CISA CPG gap analysis & remediation
  • SLCGP grant eligibility documentation
  • Cybersecurity plan development (grant-required)
  • Zero Trust Maturity Model assessment
  • Continuous improvement tracking (quarterly)
  • Insurance compliance documentation

🛡️CJIS Compliance & Public Safety IT

Any agency accessing FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) data — police departments, sheriff’s offices, courts, dispatch centers, and agencies with NCIC/NLETS access — must comply with the CJIS Security Policy. This is not optional: non-compliance can result in loss of CJIS access, which effectively prevents your agency from running license plates, warrants, and criminal history checks. Technijian implements CJIS technical requirements: advanced authentication (MFA for all CJIS access), FIPS 140-2 validated encryption (data at rest and in transit), access controls with individual accountability, comprehensive audit logging, physical security for CJIS terminals, dedicated network segmentation for CJIS systems.

  • CJIS advanced authentication (MFA)
  • FIPS 140-2 validated encryption
  • CJIS network segmentation (dedicated infrastructure)
  • Audit logging for all CJIS access
  • Physical security for CJIS terminals
  • Personnel security coordination
  • Body camera / digital evidence infrastructure
  • Annual CJIS compliance assessment

💻Managed IT & Helpdesk for Government

Government IT teams are chronically understaffed: 2-3 IT staff managing 200-500+ employees across multiple facilities, responsible for everything from the city manager’s laptop to the SCADA system at the water treatment plant. Technijian augments your team or serves as your complete IT department: 24/7 monitoring and helpdesk with <15 minute response, proactive patching (carefully managed with change control — government systems need testing before deployment), vendor coordination (ERP, utility billing, permitting, GIS, phone, ISP), employee onboarding/offboarding, council/board meeting technology support, and on-site engineering across all SoCal government facilities. We work alongside your internal IT team to fill gaps, or provide full outsourced IT if you don’t have internal staff.

  • 24/7 monitoring & helpdesk (<15 min response)
  • Proactive patching with change management
  • Vendor coordination (ERP, billing, permitting, GIS)
  • Employee onboarding / offboarding
  • Council/board meeting AV & tech support
  • On-site engineering across all SoCal facilities
  • Co-managed model (augment your team)
  • Fully outsourced model (be your IT department)

☁️Microsoft 365 Government & Cloud

Microsoft 365 Government (GCC and GCC High) provides cloud productivity for government agencies with data residency and compliance requirements beyond commercial M365. Technijian manages M365 Government deployments: migration from on-premise Exchange or legacy email, security hardening (MFA, Conditional Access, Safe Links, Safe Attachments, DLP for government PII), license optimization (frontline workers on F1/F3, knowledge workers on E3, security teams on E5), SharePoint governance for government document management, Teams governance for inter-departmental and inter-agency collaboration, third-party M365 backup (Microsoft does not back up your data — this applies to government tenants too), and Entra ID as the centralized identity provider with SSO for government applications.

  • M365 GCC / GCC High deployment & migration
  • Security hardening (MFA, Conditional Access, DLP)
  • License optimization (F1/F3, E3, E5)
  • Third-party M365 backup (government data)
  • SharePoint governance (document management)

  • Entra ID / SSO for government applications
  • Copilot readiness for government

🏗️Multi-Facility Networking & Infrastructure

Government agencies operate across multiple facilities: city hall, public works, parks and recreation, community centers, police and fire stations, libraries, utility plants, satellite offices, and sometimes field operations. Each facility needs reliable, secure connectivity back to centralized systems. Technijian provides government multi-facility networking: enterprise firewalls at each location with unified security policies, SD-WAN or site-to-site VPN connecting all facilities, VLAN segmentation at every site (administrative, public safety, public WiFi, IoT/cameras), public WiFi with captive portal at community-facing facilities (libraries, community centers, city hall lobby), secure remote access for field workers and after-hours staff, QoS prioritizing VoIP and critical applications, and centralized monitoring with single-pane visibility across all facilities.

  • Enterprise firewall at every facility
  • SD-WAN / site-to-site VPN (all facilities connected)
  • VLAN segmentation per facility
  • Public WiFi with captive portal (libraries, community centers)
  • Secure remote access for field workers

  • New facility IT buildout & opening support

Government Sub-Verticals We Serve

🏛️Cities & Municipalities

SoCal’s 200+ cities range from small contract cities with 10 employees to large full-service municipalities with 1,000+. Regardless of size, every city handles resident PII, processes financial transactions, manages public infrastructure, and faces the same cybersecurity threats. Technijian serves cities from small contract cities needing fully outsourced IT to large municipalities needing co-managed cybersecurity, NIST CSF compliance, and SLCGP grant support. We understand city operations: utility billing, community development/permitting, public works, parks and rec, finance, and the unique requirement of supporting council meetings and public-facing technology.

📍 All SoCal cities · Orange County (34 cities) · LA County (88 cities) · Riverside · San Diego

🛡️Law Enforcement & Public Safety

Police departments, sheriff’s stations, dispatch centers, and public safety agencies accessing CJIS data need IT that meets the FBI’s CJIS Security Policy: advanced authentication, FIPS 140-2 encryption, dedicated network segmentation, audit logging, and personnel security requirements. Beyond CJIS: body-worn camera storage and evidence management, CAD/RMS system infrastructure, mobile data terminal connectivity (in-vehicle), records management system hosting, and 24/7 IT support because public safety operates around the clock. Technijian provides law enforcement IT with CJIS compliance built in from the ground up.

📍 PDs · Sheriff stations · Dispatch centers · All SoCal jurisdictions

💧Water Districts & Utility Districts

SoCal’s water districts, sanitation districts, and municipal utility departments manage critical infrastructure: SCADA systems controlling water treatment and distribution, utility billing platforms processing thousands of resident payments monthly, GIS mapping infrastructure, and field workforce technology. These districts face unique threats: SCADA/OT systems targeted by nation-state actors, utility billing systems targeted by ransomware, and the operational requirement of 24/7 availability (water treatment cannot go offline). Technijian provides utility district IT: OT/IT segmentation (SCADA isolated from administrative network), utility billing infrastructure support, field worker mobile connectivity, and cybersecurity protecting critical infrastructure.

📍 Municipal water districts · IRWD · MWDOC · Sanitation districts · All SoCal

🏫Special Districts & Authorities

Special districts — park and recreation districts, library districts, cemetery districts, community services districts, mosquito abatement districts, joint powers authorities, and regional agencies — often have the smallest IT budgets and the fewest staff. Many have zero dedicated IT personnel: a receptionist who ‘knows computers’ handles technology alongside their actual job. Technijian provides fully outsourced IT for special districts: network management, cybersecurity, M365 administration, backup, helpdesk, and the compliance documentation increasingly required by insurance carriers and oversight bodies.

📍 All SoCal special districts · JPAs · Regional agencies

🏥Public Health & Social Services

County and city public health departments, social services agencies, behavioral health, and public hospital systems handle some of the most sensitive data in government: patient health information (HIPAA), child welfare records, mental health records, substance abuse records (42 CFR Part 2), and immigration-related data. These agencies need IT that satisfies both government security requirements (NIST CSF, CISA CPGs) and healthcare compliance (HIPAA technical safeguards). Technijian provides public health IT: HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, encrypted endpoints, access controls for sensitive records, audit logging, and cybersecurity protecting the data of the most vulnerable populations.

FAQ — Government & Public Sector IT

Schema: FAQPage · 8 Q&As · Targets “government IT services” + “CJIS compliance” + “NIST CSF local government”

Does Technijian work with government agencies and public sector organizations?

Yes. Government and public sector is a core vertical: cities, counties, special districts, water/utility districts, law enforcement, transit authorities, public health agencies, housing authorities, JPAs, and regional agencies across Orange County, Los Angeles County, Riverside County, and San Diego County. We provide both fully outsourced IT (for agencies with no internal IT staff) and co-managed IT (augmenting your existing IT team with 24/7 support, cybersecurity, and compliance).

How much does managed IT cost for a government agency?

Three tiers: Government Essentials ($3,000-$8,000/month) for small cities or special districts with 25-100 users. Government Professional ($8,000-$20,000/month) for mid-size cities with 100-300 users — includes NIST CSF alignment, CJIS compliance, SLCGP grant support, and annual penetration testing. Government Enterprise ($20,000-$50,000+/month) for large cities or county departments with 300+ users — adds 24/7 SOC, OT/SCADA security, Zero Trust, and vCIO. Compare: one ransomware incident costs $500,000-$2,000,000+. Cyber insurance premiums are rising 20-40% annually for agencies without documented security controls.

Can Technijian help with CJIS compliance?

Yes. Full CJIS Security Policy implementation: advanced authentication (MFA on all CJIS access), FIPS 140-2 validated encryption (data at rest and in transit), dedicated network segmentation for CJIS systems, access controls with individual accountability, comprehensive audit logging, physical security for CJIS terminals, personnel security coordination, media sanitization, and annual compliance assessment. We also support body camera infrastructure, digital evidence management, and CAD/RMS system connectivity. When state CJIS auditors visit, your documentation is ready.

Does Technijian support NIST CSF alignment for government?

Yes. Full NIST CSF program: current-tier assessment across all 6 functions (Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover), gap analysis mapping your controls against NIST CSF categories and CISA CPGs, remediation planning and implementation, and quarterly reviews tracking progress from current tier toward target tier. This assessment satisfies SLCGP grant requirements, cyber insurance documentation, and demonstrates due diligence for CPRA responses.

Can Technijian help our agency access SLCGP grant funding?

Yes. The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program provides federal funding for local government cybersecurity. Technijian supports the process: NIST CSF assessment (required for cybersecurity plan), CISA CPG gap analysis, cybersecurity plan development, individual project proposals (network segmentation, MFA, EDR, backup, incident response — all eligible), and ongoing reporting for grant compliance. Many SoCal agencies qualify for significant funding. Technijian’s assessment and planning positions your agency to capture this funding while improving your actual security.

What is co-managed IT and how does it work for government?

Co-managed IT means Technijian works alongside your internal IT team. Your staff handles institutional knowledge, departmental relationships, and day-to-day strategic decisions. Technijian provides: 24/7 monitoring and after-hours support, cybersecurity expertise (EDR, email security, penetration testing), NIST/CJIS compliance, network engineering, and project-based work (migrations, upgrades, new facilities). Your IT director remains in charge. This model lets government agencies get enterprise-level IT capability without the political and budget challenge of hiring additional staff.

Does Technijian support SCADA/OT security for water and utility districts?

Yes. OT/IT segmentation is the foundation: SCADA systems on dedicated, isolated infrastructure with no network path from administrative systems. Additional controls: MFA on SCADA administrative access, monitoring of OT traffic for anomalies, firmware management for PLCs and RTUs, encrypted remote access for vendor maintenance (no direct internet exposure), and incident response planning specific to OT environments. Water district SCADA is critical infrastructure — Technijian designs security around the operational requirement that water treatment cannot go offline.

Where does Technijian serve government agencies in Southern California?

Based in Irvine, CA. Serve government agencies across: Orange County (all 34 cities, county agencies, water districts, special districts), Los Angeles County (cities, county departments, transit agencies), Riverside County (cities, county agencies, utility districts), and San Diego County (cities, regional agencies).
