Managed IT for Local Government
Cities, counties, special districts, and public agencies are some of the most-targeted ransomware victims of the last several years — and they operate under more cybersecurity rules than most SMBs realize. Inevat delivers managed IT designed around CJIS, IRS Pub 1075, public records retention, and the documentation modern cyber insurance underwriters expect.

Public-sector IT runs on tight budgets, public accountability, and the wrong kind of attention from attackers.
Local government has been one of the highest-volume ransomware targets in recent years — small IT teams (or none), critical operational systems (utilities, public safety, courts, payroll), and historically weak security defenses. Inevat delivers enterprise-grade managed IT and cybersecurity scaled to public-sector operations, with documentation that maps to the rules public agencies actually face: CJIS, IRS Pub 1075 if handling federal tax info, state public records laws, and cyber insurance requirements that are increasingly explicit.
CJIS & Public-Sector Compliance
CJIS Security Policy controls, IRS Pub 1075 for jurisdictions handling federal tax data, NIST 800-53/800-171 mappings where applicable, and documented security plans for state-level reviewers.
Explore Compliance24/7 SOC Monitoring
Human analysts watching public-sector environments around the clock. Ransomware against municipalities almost always launches outside business hours — that's exactly when SOC coverage matters most.
Explore SOC MonitoringEDR & Endpoint Security
Every workstation, laptop, and ruggedized field device gets EDR — properly configured for the public-sector environment. Public works, public safety, finance, planning — all the same enterprise-grade protection.
Explore EDRPublic Records & Data Backup
Image-based backup of records management systems, financials, and email — with retention aligned to state public records law and tested recovery procedures so a ransomware event becomes a restore operation.
Explore BackupEmail Security & Phishing
Public-sector email is heavily targeted — invoice fraud, vendor impersonation, and social engineering against finance and HR. Layered email security plus ongoing simulation training for staff.
Explore Email SecurityMulti-Department Support
Public works, finance, planning, parks & rec, public safety, courts — each department has its own software stack. We support the IT environment across all of them with consistent security and one help desk for staff.
Explore Managed ITEnterprise-grade IT — for the public-sector budget.
Inevat treats public-sector clients the way we treat every client: with the full security stack included, real human support, and pricing built around predictability. Where public-sector procurement requirements drive specific contracting models (cooperative purchasing, GSA-adjacent vehicles, RFP responses), we work within them. The result is enterprise-grade managed IT at a per-user rate that fits municipal and county budgets.
- CJIS-aware controls for jurisdictions handling criminal justice data
- Public records retention and search built into backup configuration
- Cyber insurance applications and renewals supported
- Quarterly reviews aligned to budget and council reporting cycles

How do you handle CJIS Security Policy compliance?
For jurisdictions with law enforcement or other agencies handling Criminal Justice Information, we deploy CJIS-aligned controls — MFA, access logging, encryption in transit and at rest, personnel screening documentation, and the technical safeguards CJIS requires. Inevat staff who handle CJIS systems undergo the appropriate background screening, and we maintain the audit documentation state CSO offices and ISO reviews ask for.
What about IRS Publication 1075 for jurisdictions handling federal tax info?
IRS Pub 1075 applies to agencies receiving Federal Tax Information (assessor offices, treasurer offices, courts handling tax-related matters). Our compliance program builds and maintains the safeguards Pub 1075 requires — disclosure agreements, security plans, employee training, audit logs, and the periodic review documentation an IRS safeguards review will ask about.
How does this affect public records and FOIA-style requests?
Backup and archiving are configured with retention aligned to your state's public records law (Utah GRAMA, etc.). Email archiving captures the records that may need to be searched and produced in response to public records requests. We don't act as records custodian — that responsibility stays with your records officer — but the IT side ensures the data exists, is searchable, and can be produced when required.
Can you work with cooperative purchasing or RFP procurement?
Yes. We're familiar with public-sector procurement constraints — cooperative purchasing vehicles, RFP response, multi-bid requirements, and the documentation procurement officers need. We respond to RFPs honestly (no padded proposals to look better than competitors) and work within the procurement model your jurisdiction uses.
What does cyber insurance look like for municipalities?
Insurers writing cyber for public-sector clients now ask very specific questions — MFA on every account, EDR, SOC monitoring, security awareness training, tested backup, and incident response plans. Many municipalities have been non-renewed or seen massive premium increases for missing controls. Our standard managed IT contract includes the controls insurers ask about, and we help you complete applications and renewals accurately.
