State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) Services
In the face of constantly evolving cybersecurity threats, state and local governments must prioritize robust cybersecurity strategies. These measures are crucial for safeguarding sensitive data and critical infrastructure, while effectively managing and minimizing systemic cyber risk.
Since 2022, the SLCGP has provided funding to eligible entities to address cybersecurity risks and threats where it is needed most: at the local level. Through the SLCGP, Tidal Basin can help your organization unlock funding to bolster its cybersecurity posture.
Cyber Incident Response Annex Development – We guide the development of a straightforward, non-technical Annex by leading your stakeholders through a structured planning process, resulting in a comprehensive plan that outlines proactive measures for cyber incident preparedness, response, and recovery. Vendor Coordination and Shared Services Planning – Identifying the right vendors is crucial for the successful execution of your SLCGP plan. We streamline this process, handling the intricate discussions needed to build state- level shared services from the ground up, ensuring scalability and efficiency. Data Modeling – Compelling visuals and mapping tools help you visualize the broader impact and outreach of your program’s initiatives, providing clear, actionable insights into the effectiveness of your efforts. Cybersecurity Exercise Design and Facilitation – Creating and leading non- technical, discussion-based exercises to evaluate your plan, we involve diverse stakeholders with varying levels of cybersecurity knowledge, to foster a unified understanding of expectations, capabilities, and actions necessary during an incident.

Working alongside a state’s IT and emergency management agency, and under the guidance of their SLCGP Planning Committee, Tidal Basin supported the development of their SLCGP Cybersecurity Plan. FEMA and CISA approved the plan, which enabled the state’s participation in this first-of-its-kind national grant program. We are now helping the state implement this program by providing project initiation, administration, and management. Our work includes creating and implementing an outreach strategy to educate state and local entities about government cybersecurity offerings approved under the Cybersecurity Plan. We are also supporting on various fronts, including identifying, selecting, contracting, and managing third-party vendors for shared services and providing SLCGP grant support. Additionally, we are maintaining the state’s SLCGP Cybersecurity Plan and providing regular progress reports on its implementation.
