Cybersecurity Checklist

Strengthen your agency’s defenses without adding complexity.

Cyber threats against government are growing in scale and sophistication, but most attacks still start with something simple: a missed update, a weak password, or a convincing phishing email. The good news? You don’t need a massive budget or a full-time cybersecurity team to make meaningful improvements.

Catalis created this simple-to-use guide to help leaders, IT teams, and staff take practical steps to protect systems and data. It’s designed for both technical and non-technical readers—giving everyone a clear role in keeping your organization secure.

What You’ll Learn

  • Common vulnerabilities that put agencies at risk—and how to fix them fast
  • Everyday security practices for all employees
  • Critical safeguards for IT teams, including patching and access controls
  • How to prepare for and respond to incidents with limited resources
  • Free federal tools and partnerships that support local government cybersecurity

Why It Matters
Local governments manage sensitive data, deliver essential services, and often operate with small teams. A single breach can disrupt operations, damage public trust, and drain budgets. This checklist offers a simple, actionable roadmap to build resilience—starting today.
