New CO Assessment Accounts
The following new accounts were requested and approved for recording new assessments made to the Chancellor’s Office.
28074 - Quality Assurance
The Quality Assurance (QA) section develops and implements policy and standards related to the planning, management, monitoring, evaluation, and implementation of large-scale and enterprise information technology development projects. The Quality Assurance section:
- Ensures that the appropriate level of concept development, executive involvement and cost benefit analysis is completed prior to a mission-critical or enterprise technology project's initiation.
- Provides QA functions that increase the likelihood of the successful implementation of information technology projects.
- Provides for independent evaluation of overall project performance on a regular basis.
- Ensures that appropriate levels of executive sponsorship and project management discipline are applied to information technology projects.
- Identifies critical project risks and possible mitigation strategies throughout the life of a given project.
- Provide uniform reporting on information technology project status to the Joint Legislative Committee on Information Management and Technology (JLCIMT) and other legislative committees.
This assessment is allocated among agencies on the basis of budgeted full-time equivalent positions.
28075 - LINUS
The Legislative Information Notification Update System (LINUS) is a "real-time" Legislative bill tracking system that allows state agencies to track bills throughout the legislative process. This is an enterprise, web-based application that is available to employees of state agencies and their statutorily defined agents. This assessment is allocated based on budgeted full-time equivalent positions.
28076 - Business Continuity Planning
The business continuity planning program was started in 2003/2005 and was funded through donations from state agencies and from a federal grant. It is based on budgeted FTE for 2005/2007 and covers costs for overhead, personal services and associated S&S, and $40,000 S&S for the training of agencies, capital outlay for software of $220,000. This is for software that will be used by multiple state agencies to create individual plans that roll up to an enterprise plan. It also includes tools for running scenarios, linking with change management systems, and expressing the enterprise linkages. There is also S&S of $120,000 for Consulting Services. These are services to provide an Executive Business Impact Assessment of agencies and assist in creating the initial enterprise BC plan.
28077 - State Cybersecurity Center
The Enterprise Cyber Security Program is responsible for effectively defending and securing the State's Computing and Networking Infrastructure (SCNI) and its related information technology investments. Security-related threats have become more numerous, diverse, and more damaging and disruptive. The SCNI is vulnerable to an increasing number of intentional intrusions ('script-kiddie' hacking), malicious and sophisticated exploits, as well as viruses and worms. The Cyber Security Center ensures the effective use of existing technology components, physical controls, and administrative functions. Solutions such as network and host intrusion detection systems, patch management, log aggregation and analysis, forensic analysis and incident response capabilities will be implemented.
These costs are allocated on the basis of full-time equivalent positions.
