Important caveat: This page is implementation guidance for planning conversations, not legal advice. LEAs should follow final state rules, Utah State Board of Education guidance, UETN resources, and counsel as requirements mature. - Minimum cybersecurity standards for LEAs: HB 44 requires local education agencies to comply with minimum cybersecurity standards established by the Cybersecurity Commission through rulemaking. - Phased implementation timeline: The law ties compliance to a phased implementation timeline established in rule, which makes sequencing and documentation important for school districts with limited staff. - Working with UETN, the Utah Cyber Center, and the state board: UETN, in consultation with the Utah Cyber Center and the state board, is tasked with implementation guidelines, technical resources, support, and coordination of cybersecurity services for LEAs. - Data-breach reporting and joint response: HB 44 requires LEAs to report data breaches to the Utah Cyber Center and notify the state board within 24 hours of discovery, while working with UETN when network infrastructure or services are involved. - Cybersecurity point of contact: LEAs must designate a primary cybersecurity contact to interface with the Utah Cyber Center, the state board, and UETN. ## How We Help Harborcoat helps teams understand security and IT priorities, compare technology options, arrange purchasing, and coordinate qualified specialists and vendor follow-through. ## Solutions Harborcoat organizes solution conversations around protecting people and daily work, securing cloud and critical data, and improving visibility and recovery. The How We Help page explains evaluation, purchasing, specialist coordination, and renewals. - [Protect People & Daily Work](https://harborcoattech.com/solutions#security-resilience): Safer sign-in, less tool overlap, and recovery that covers the systems your people rely on. Common problems and how Harborcoat helps: Sign-in is the weak point (compare identity and mfa options); Tools overlap and owners are unclear (sort out overlap before adding more); Backups may not cover what matters (match recovery to your critical systems). - [Secure Cloud & Critical Data](https://harborcoattech.com/solutions#cloud-data-applications): Clear cloud access, applications and data that work together, and specialist help for migrations. Common problems and how Harborcoat helps: Cloud access is hard to track (find tools that show who can reach what); Systems depend on each other (map the connections before you choose); The team is short on capacity (find specialists for the rollout). - [Improve Visibility & Recovery](https://harborcoattech.com/solutions#visibility-response): Alerts your team can act on, clear incident handoffs, and response and recovery plans that connect. Common problems and how Harborcoat helps: Important alerts get lost (decide what you need to see); Nobody is sure who responds (map the escalation path); Response and recovery are planned separately (connect response and recovery).
