The CISO can create policies, risk‑management services, training requirements, and may sign fee‑based agreements with agencies that are otherwise exempt. All state agencies—except higher education, the State Police, certain constitutional officers, the Legislature, and the Judiciary—must follow the CISO’s standards, undergo risk assessments, and take part in an annual review.
