Shasta County is moving to formalize a zero-trust cybersecurity model and tighten internal controls over county technology and digital records, according to June 30 meeting materials.
The package would update county policy on cloud review, vendor access, incident response, asset management, social media, hypertext links, electronic signatures and trusted systems, extending the changes across county operations. The materials describe the overhaul as a countywide framework for IT security and web/digital governance.
A supporting policy summary says the county’s June 30 IT package formally adopts zero-trust architecture as the county’s cybersecurity model. The summary also notes updates to rules covering cloud review, vendor access, incident response, asset management, social media, hypertext links, electronic signatures and trusted systems.
The available record does not include the full redline policy text, so the exact language of each change and whether supervisors adopted the package unanimously or with amendments is not confirmed in the materials reviewed.
