Ransomware crews target cities, counties and agencies because public services can't simply stop, and because many agencies run lean IT teams on older systems. A single compromised account can take down permitting, payroll or dispatch support and expose resident data. AI adds a new layer: staff pasting records into public AI tools, AI features switched on inside software you already use, and attackers using AI to write better phishing. BTI protects government systems around the clock, designs controls to the standards your auditors use, governs AI risk, and keeps evidence ready for the next review.
This page is part of BTI's connected technology solutions and advisory services for government. BTI supports many government agencies.

State, county and municipal agencies and special districts can buy this service from BTI. (Federal agencies work with BTI on phone systems and security systems.)
On request we provide written itemized quotes, a W-9, certificates of insurance, past performance references, and help with sole-source justifications where your rules allow them.
State and local police departments, sheriffs, courts, probation and any agency that touches criminal justice information must meet the FBI CJIS Security Policy. BTI designs and documents the controls the policy calls for, including advanced authentication, encryption, audit logging, personnel and vendor access controls, and incident response. Your CJIS Systems Agency conducts the audit; we prepare the evidence.
Assessments, policies and roadmaps mapped to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, with control detail drawn from NIST SP 800-171 when agencies handle controlled unclassified information or pass requirements to contractors. AI risk is mapped to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
Cloud services used by state and local agencies increasingly need FedRAMP or GovRAMP (formerly StateRAMP) authorization. Those programs authorize cloud offerings, not integrators. BTI helps you confirm that the services in your environment carry the authorization your agency requires.
Baseline controls follow the CISA Cross-Sector Cybersecurity Performance Goals, and ransomware planning follows CISA #StopRansomware guidance.
BTI's 24/7 NOC/SOC, delivered with a SOC 2 audited NOC/SOC partner, watches endpoints, identity, email and network traffic every hour of every day. Automation triages the noise so analysts focus on real threats: 10,000+ alerts handled, zero missed.
A documented assessment shows where you stand against NIST and CJIS requirements, ranked by risk and cost. A virtual CISO turns findings into a funded plan and briefs leadership and councils in plain language. → Cybersecurity assessment · vCISO
Written security policies, access reviews, training records and evidence packages for CJIS audits, state reviews, cyber insurance and grant requirements. Our clients pass 94% of audits on the first attempt. → Governance, risk & compliance
Immutable backups, tested restores, a written incident response plan and tabletop exercises with department heads, so recovery is measured in hours instead of weeks.
Separate public Wi-Fi, cameras, door controllers and building systems from staff and CJIS networks, with firewalls and secure remote access. → Network security · IoT security
Phishing protection, impersonation detection, payment change verification and training for staff and elected officials.
Nearly every state now has an enterprise AI policy: the 2026 NASCIO State CIO Survey found 98 percent of states have one, up from 76 percent a year earlier. Local agencies are following, and auditors and insurers are starting to ask about AI. BTI is your Guided Automation Partner for the security side of AI:
Guided Automation advisory services are included in every managed IT plan at no extra cost. → AI security, governance & risk · Government AI
Begin with a risk assessment and the controls that stop most attacks: MFA, endpoint detection and response, immutable backups, email security and staff training.
Add AI governance, DLP and logging, map AI risk to the NIST AI RMF, and extend tabletop exercises to AI-dependent workflows.
BTI can run 24/7 detection and response and vCISO leadership for you, or support your security staff under a co-managed model.
Cameras, badge readers and intercoms are network devices. Because BTI also designs government security systems, those devices are segmented, patched and monitored inside the same program. → Converged security · Government Security Systems
This page covers threat protection and compliance. For helpdesk, networks, Wi-Fi, device support and managed or co-managed IT, see Government IT Services. Most agencies use both under one agreement.
BTI supports many government agencies at the state, county and municipal level.
It means meeting the FBI CJIS Security Policy for any system or person that accesses criminal justice information, including authentication, encryption, logging, personnel screening and incident response requirements.
BTI designs and documents the technical controls the CJIS Security Policy requires and prepares audit evidence. Your CJIS Systems Agency performs the audit and determines compliance.
Those programs authorize cloud service offerings, not integrators. BTI helps state and local agencies verify that the cloud services they use hold the authorization their policies require.
Multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection and response, immutable backups, email security and staff training. These stop the most common attacks and are often required by cyber insurers.
We inventory AI in use, including AI features inside existing SaaS tools, set data boundaries and DLP, govern approved AI with logging and access controls, and map the program to the NIST AI RMF.
We map controls to CJIS and NIST requirements, collect evidence such as access reviews and training records, and package it for auditors. Our clients pass 94% of audits on the first attempt.
Yes. BTI's NOC/SOC, delivered with a SOC 2 audited NOC/SOC partner, monitors endpoints, identity, email and networks around the clock, with 10,000+ alerts handled and zero missed.
