As part of TAGD's mission to serve as an educational resource to its members, TAGD is thrilled to be offering our members a free, on-demand Cybersecurity Awareness Training program certified by the Texas Department of Information Resources.
A certified training program is required to be completed annually by "employees and elected and appointed officials who have access to a local government computer system or database and use a computer to perform at least 25 percent of the employee's or official's required duties," according to Tex. Gov't Code § 2054.5191. If you're not sure who needs to complete this training, please consult with your district's legal counsel.
Complete the following steps:
1. Register your district's participants here - no payment is necessary for TAGD members!
2. Receive an automated confirmation email that contains a link to the training video.
3. Distribute the video link for registered participants to complete the training independently, or show the training video at your next board or staff meeting.
4. Watch the training video, which is 40 minutes long.
5. Complete the post-training assessment, and get 7 out of 10 questions correct.
6. Receive your completion certificate from TAGD via email.
7. Self-report your district's compliance by August 31, 2022. Click here to view information and forms related to reporting.
