Texas Cybersecurity Framework

Scinary’s Governance Risk Management and Compliance software (Scinary GRC) is a solution developed to help LEAs easily rate themselves based on the DIR Texas Cybersecurity Framework (TCF). The TCF can be found at https://dir.texas.gov/information-security/security-policy-and-planning/texas-cybersecurity-framework.

LEAs complete a series of questions in Scinary GRC. The software will then generate and show the LEA their maturity measurement in relation to the TCF matrix. The Scinary GRC tool can assist the LEA in keeping track of documentation to meet the TCF objectives and controls. It can be used as a roadmap for the LEA to improve over time.
