IT Support for Municipalities

Better, Safer, Faster—with Stratti!

From public dog parks to police services, the range of activities town governments may have a hand in is myriad and varied. The management and maintenance of these infrastructural elements are crucial for the well-being, safety, and development of the residents within a region. But how are municipalities themselves protected? 

Commonly faced with outdated technology, local municipalities and administration facilities often face challenges in “going digital.” Unfortunately, local government entities store personal data like property records, making them a treasure trove for threat actors. Social security numbers, addresses, and even voting records are of interest to cybercriminals, and these criminals know small and medium-sized municipal facilities often have legacy systems with inadequate cybersecurity protection. 

Stratti offers IT support and cybersecurity assistance for municipalities

At Stratti, we’re proud to support many municipalities with a wide range of programs, from IT helpdesk to cybersecurity policies and patch management. We can also help you: 

  • Upgrade from legacy hardware
  • Regularly update software 
  • Improve internal cyber hygiene

When COVID hit, we realized we needed to modernize our facility, and fast. With Stratti’s help, we’ve been able to upgrade our network, streamline our team management, and get help whenever we need it. Today, we feel more empowered to serve the whole community.” – Northern California municipality client 

No matter what kind of infrastructure you have (or, let’s be honest, policies and standards you don’t have) we’ve got your back. Are you still running Windows ‘95? Got your security training on a stack of CDs somewhere? Is everyone using the same “admin” password to make changes? 

Look—this is a judgment-free zone, but we would love to help you tackle these challenges! 

We’ve said it once, we’ll say it again: not everyone has to be a cybersecurity expert—but you do need someone on the team who can help. Protecting data is now part of what it means to provide public services! 

The result? 

Safety

Better cybersecurity hygiene means citizens are more protected. This is particularly critical for municipalities serving diverse populations—age and language demographics might make the services provided more complicated and require more strategic defense. 

Efficiency 

It’s no secret digital filing, high-speed wifi, and a reliable way of working collaboratively can all improve the efficiency of a team. A more efficient facility will mean town services are more available to more people, with less effort. 

Financial Savings  

Yep, that’s right. Although updating legacy systems or revamping software subscriptions can feel intimidating, it often saves money on power and unused services.
