GTA Consolidating Data Submission for IT Reports
GTA is consolidating and streamlining data submission for three different IT reports with a web-based reporting system that’s scheduled to be available in June. Learn more.
GTA has merged Enterprise Technology Planning and the Office of Information Security into a single organization: Enterprise Governance and Planning (EGAP). Mr. Mark Reardon has been named EGAP Director. He also retains his position as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
The organizational change enables us to improve coordination among related enterprise activities. EGAP’s goal is to provide value by:
- supporting agencies in doing a better job of governing their IT initiatives, and
- gathering IT metrics from agencies and reporting them to state leaders.
EGAP has four work units.
-
Enterprise Information Security (EIS), led by Walter Tong
EIS continues to focus on security awareness and training for state agencies as they implement requirements based on the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). It develops related policy statements and standards, works with vendors and agencies to conduct risk-management assessments, and coordinates enterprise security with law enforcement agencies, the state Attorney General’s office and the Department of Homeland Security.
-
Enterprise Policy, Standards and Architecture (EPSA), led by Sree Shama
EPSA works with EGAP work units and other stakeholders to develop IT policy statements and standards. It ensures they are consistent, their impacts have been fully considered, and they have simple compliance mechanisms and metrics.
-
Enterprise Strategic Planning (ESP), led by Mike Curtis
ESP works closely with the Office of Planning and Budget to ensure IT portions of agency strategic plans are properly created. It develops policy statements and standards to ensure an agency’s IT strategy aligns with its overall business strategy and business continuity planning.
-
Enterprise Program and Project Management Office (EPMO), led by Tom Fruman
EPMO continues to develop policies and standards to ensure IT projects of all sizes and costs are properly managed within agencies.
