Summary

IT Director Thomas Johnson presented a master service agreement with KnowBe4 for cybersecurity training and testing for Oct. 2, 2025 to Oct. 1, 2028, budgeted for a three-year subscription; the transcript excerpt cuts off the stated dollar amount.

Thomas Johnson, Grand County IT director, told commissioners Sept. 9 that the county has a master service agreement with KnowBe4, the county's cybersecurity-training and testing provider, covering Oct. 2, 2025 through Oct. 1, 2028. Johnson said the subscription was budgeted this year for a three-year term and asked that the chair be authorized to sign the master agreement.

Johnson began to state the cost during the meeting materials presentation but the excerpt in the record ends with an incomplete figure: "So the cost on this is 14" and the dollar amount was not completed in the provided transcript.

Why it matters: Cybersecurity training and testing are part of county risk management for public data and services; a three-year contract commits the county to a vendor and budget stream.

Next steps: Johnson requested the chair's authority to sign the master service agreement; the transcript excerpt does not show a final signature or recorded vote in the provided segments, and the full contract amount should be confirmed in the official contract document.
