  • Impact: The new commons intranet will be secure, accessible, and integrated with other district systems—including DPSK12.org and school websites—creating a unified digital ecosystem for staff.
• Privileged access management (PAM):
  •  The PMO supported the implementation of a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution in response to a cybersecurity incident. This enhances identity security by monitoring and controlling access to critical systems, proactively identifying vulnerabilities, and managing privileged accounts.
  • Impact:Improved cybersecurity by proactively identifying vulnerabilities and managing privileged accounts. Integrates security services into the DPS tech environment to stay ahead of evolving threats.
• Google: 
  • The PMO supported migrating district operations from Microsoft Office and Outlook to Google Workspace and Gmail.
