The creation and adoption of Vermont’s technology policies and standards is a team effort. The State Technology Collaborative Committee worked with the Office of the CIO to establish uniform policies and standards for passwords and malicious software protection. A Web Taskforce created standards that establish a common look, feel and methodology for the state’s various web sites. The department of Human Resources was consulted and these standards were approved by the State Technology Collaborative Committee and the Secretary of Administration.

Additionally, other policies and standards will establish a state-wide approach to information security and privacy; prescribe mechanisms that help identify and prevent the compromise of information security and misuse of the state’s data, applications, networks and computer systems; define mechanisms that protect the reputation of the State of Vermont and allow the State to satisfy its legal and ethical responsibilities with regard to its networks' and computer systems' connectivity to worldwide networks.

The Web Taskforce meets on a monthly basis on the third Wednesday of the month at 10 am.
