Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 202 establishes a baseline of security standards for Texas state agencies and institutions of higher education. The baselines these standards establish are present in university policies and procedures, as well as in best practices and standard security controls.
Texas Government Code Section 2054.519 State Certified Cybersecurity Training Programs requires state and local government employees to complete a certified training program. This training is re-certified annually by the Texas Division of Information Resources.
Information resources residing at state agencies are valuable assets belonging to the citizens of Texas. The Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) helps government agencies and educational institutions assure the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of these critical assets.
