Keep Essential Services Running, Even When Threats Spike
Local government doesn’t get to “pause operations.” When technology is disrupted, it affects public safety, courts, utilities, communications, and citizen trust.
Covenant Technology Solutions helps cities, counties, and special districts strengthen cybersecurity and simplify compliance—so essential services stay online, and teams stay confident.
Covenant vs typical MSP:
We’re not just a helpdesk—we’re a consulting-led partner focused on security, compliance, and strategic IT outcomes.
The SLG Reality
Cyber risk isn’t just an IT problem; it’s a service continuity problem.
When systems go down, the real impact is felt in:
- dispatch and public safety
- courts and records
- utilities and public works
- email and citizen communications
- finance and payroll
We help SLG teams build a practical, defensible approach to security and compliance—without turning your environment into a science project.
Compliance Without the Confusion
We translate CJIS, CIS 18, NIST 800-53, HIPAA, FINRA (and more) into a roadmap your team can actually execute—so decisions are documented and progress is defensible.
The challenge isn’t that these frameworks exist—it’s translating them into a roadmap your team can actually execute.
We map requirements to clear, prioritized actions, so you can:
- reduce audit stress
- document decisions confidently
- improve resilience without overwhelming your staff
A Clear Path Forward Without a Big-Bang Overhaul
-
Step 1 — Security Snapshot
Security Score Assessment + Microsoft 365 Benchmark
A fast, plain-language way to understand where you are today—and what matters most next.
What you get:
- Email protection configuration review (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
- Dark web exposure check for known credentials
- Microsoft 365 configuration benchmark aligned to security best practices
- Leadership-friendly scorecard + quick-win action plan
Why it matters: Quick wins reduce risk fast—and give you clarity before you budget, apply for funding, or launch larger initiatives.

• Step 2 — Microsoft Cyber Hardening + Compliance Roadmap
Microsoft Cyber-Hardening
Fortify is our structured approach to improve resilience and reduce operational risk over time.
What you get:
- A phased hardening plan built around your environment and priorities
- Practical governance and documentation that supports audit readiness
- A compliance roadmap aligned to the frameworks you care about
Why it matters: SLG teams are targeted because they’re essential—and often stretched thin. A phased approach keeps progress realistic, measurable, and defensible.

Step 3 — Copilot Readiness
Secure AI Enablement
AI can help government teams move faster—but only if information access and governance are in good shape.
Our Copilot Readiness Assessment helps ensure your environment is:
- secure
- governed
- ready for responsible AI rollout
Why it matters: Copilot can amplify productivity—or amplify oversharing. We aim for the first one.
-
Step 4 — Secure Remote Work
Continuity + Secure Remote Work
When remote access, continuity planning, and “we still have to operate during emergencies” becomes reality—SkyDesk365 provides a secure cloud workspace option designed for compliance-driven environments.
Why it matters: Continuity shouldn’t depend on a single building, a single server, or a single person.
Funding and Grant Support
Modernization doesn’t have to crush your budget. There are frequently programs available through Microsoft and government funding sources—and we can help you identify options, package projects, and align requirements.
Funding availability changes and is never guaranteed—but clarity improves your odds.
