State CIOs, county IT directors, K-12 technology leads, and municipal CISOs share a problem with federal agencies: the asset inventory does not reflect what is actually on the network. The buyer is different, the vocabulary is different, the budget cycle is different. CybrIQ produces a continuous device inventory in a deployment shape that fits state, local, K-12, and special-district environments, including the ones that don't have a dedicated security team.
The state CIO, the county IT director, the K-12 technology lead, and the special-district IT lead all need the same data: a continuous, accurate inventory of every connected device. Each one answers to a different reporting audience for it. The map below is what the briefing call walks against.
Whole-of-state cyber initiatives, StateRAMP authorizations, MS-ISAC participation, and the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) reporting all touch the same data: what's actually on the network. CybrIQ produces that inventory for state IT, state agencies, and state-supported entities.
Counties run their own networks, often with shared services across courts, sheriffs, public health, libraries, and special districts. The cyber-insurance application asks about device inventory; the resident-services systems span dozens of buildings the IT team has never walked. CybrIQ surfaces what's on each.
School networks carry student-issued laptops, BYOD on guest VLANs, classroom AV gear, building-systems integrations, and CIPA-relevant filtering hardware. Inventory completeness is the input every cyber-insurance carrier and every state ed-tech survey is now asking for.
Special districts run the most critical operational technology in any community. Water treatment, transit signal systems, port operations, and electric distribution all live on networks that EDR can't reach and that an outside SOC can't see. CybrIQ is built specifically for the OT-and-ICS visibility gap the special-district IT team is asked about after every Volt Typhoon advisory.

SLED is where cyber-insurance hardens the fastest. Carriers (Travelers, AIG, Beazley, Chubb, Coalition, Hartford) now require specific, documented evidence on the application, not policy statements. The recurring questions and the artifacts CybrIQ ships for each:
Evidence: the monthly per-port inventory export, signed at the control plane with a SHA-256 hash. The carrier wants a current document with a date on it, not a vendor claim. The signed export is what they ask for.
Evidence: the deviation log for the last 12 months, including events fired, time-to-detect, time-to-resolution, and the NAC quarantine or change-management action that closed each one. The carrier asks two things: did you detect it, and what did you do about it. Both are in the log.
Evidence: the segmented inventory by VLAN, with OT-specific device classes flagged. For a special district running water, transit, or electric, this is the answer that drives premium. CybrIQ's switch-side identification reaches OT that no agent-based tool can.
Evidence: the covered-entity reference-library match, against the entire device population. SLED is not directly bound by Section 889, but carriers now treat covered hardware as an underwriting flag, including relabeled and unmarked devices that the asset register would miss.
Evidence: the 30-second default polling cadence is the answer. Most asset-management tools cannot answer this question with a number; CybrIQ can.
A small but reproducible pattern: SLED organizations that move from "inventory is the spreadsheet from last audit" to "inventory is a signed export with a current date" see premium movement at renewal. The exact discount depends on carrier, claims history, and other controls. The underwriter's question is concrete, and CybrIQ produces the concrete artifact.
The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) is a CISA-administered, FEMA-distributed grant program created under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Total program: $1 billion over four years, FY 2022-FY 2025, with awards extending into 2027 for performance. Asset-discovery and inventory investments map directly to several of the program's required cybersecurity-plan elements.
If your state's SLCGP plan has device-inventory or asset-discovery as a named investment, the briefing call walks the deployment shape against the named line item and the reporting your grant officer expects.
Election offices operate under a specific cybersecurity register. The Election Infrastructure subsector is designated Critical Infrastructure (DHS/CISA, 2017); CISA's Election Security Initiative provides resources and guidance; the EAC's Voluntary Voting System Guidelines (VVSG 2.0) set technical baselines. The recurring constraint: the election network cannot accept a vendor cloud, a vendor tunnel, or a tool that inspects traffic on a network that handles ballots. CybrIQ's deployment shape is the answer that fits.
CybrIQ output aligns with the device-inventory expectations in the EAC's Voluntary Voting System Guidelines, CISA's Election Security Initiative resources, and the MS-ISAC's Election Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center (EI-ISAC) reporting. For elections officials briefing the secretary of state, the county commission, or a state legislative committee, the deployment posture and the inventory artifact are the two pieces.
Election-infrastructure briefings are typically scheduled around the slow-cycle (January–August in a federal election year) so a county election office is not pressure-testing a new tool in October.
Several states are running whole-of-state cyber initiatives — Texas (DIR), New York (Empire AI / Joint Security Operations Center), Ohio (OhioCyber), Arizona, and others — where the state CIO coordinates security tooling, reporting, or shared services across state agencies, counties, K-12, and special districts. The deployment shape that fits this model has three properties:
For state CIO offices building a whole-of-state cyber playbook, the briefing call covers the state-level rollup shape against your specific local-government structure.
SLED leaders carry a different framework set than federal. The mapping below covers what state, county, K-12, and special-district IT shops are most often asked for.
No procurement commitment. We walk CybrIQ against your environment — the cooperative-purchasing route that fits, the carrier evidence you owe at renewal, and the MS-ISAC framing your governance review expects.
