Resources for transferring to a .GOV and keeping your city safe! 

Cities across Arkansas are facing increasing cybersecurity requirements and evolving threats. Transferring to a .gov, upgrading your email host and installing the latest cybersecurity tools will ensure you are protected against these latest threats. To support your municipality and ensure you remain protected, the following documents, standards, and guidance materials are now available to you. These resources outline the minimum expectations for cyber readiness and provide clear steps to strengthen your city’s security posture.

Available Documents & Resources

The following files are now accessible to help your city meet the Cyber Response Board’s minimum standards and maintain eligibility for state and League-based cybersecurity coverage:
  • Cyber Response Board Minimum Standards
    These standards define the security controls every Arkansas city must follow to qualify for coverage under the League’s cybersecurity policy and the state-funded cyber program. They include requirements for password management, multi-factor authentication, system patching, backups, and incident response procedures.
  • City Cybersecurity Preparedness Guidelines
    A practical overview of the essential steps your city should take to reduce risk and improve resilience. This includes recommended tools, processes, and best practices tailored specifically for municipal operations.

    Guidance on email security, Microsoft 365 configurations, .gov domain requirements, endpoint protection, network segmentation, and backup strategies to help meet state and insurance compliance.

  • .GOV Migration
    Instructions on how to migrate email and website to .GOV to comply with Arkansas Act 929
