Problem

Small teams. Big mandate. ORC § 9.64 compliance strains local cybersecurity programs.

Under ORC § 9.64, every county, municipality, township, and special district must adopt and maintain a cybersecurity program by 2026. For most local governments, that means documenting six program components, aligning to NIST CSF or CIS Controls, and proving progress during Auditor of State (AOS) reviews.

The problem is capacity. Security is often one part of a broader IT role, and program tracking still happens in spreadsheets and shared drives. Risk registers, training records, and incident reports live in silos, making it hard to stay current or defend audit evidence.

When deadlines arrive, teams are forced into reactive compliance cycles instead of continuous cybersecurity improvement.

Solution

A purpose-built GRC platform for Ohio’s political subdivisions

Isora GRC gives local governments the structure to manage ORC § 9.64 with confidence. Built for security and compliance teams, it brings assessments, risk tracking, and remediation evidence into one workspace that aligns with the state’s six core program components. Instead of chasing documents across spreadsheets and shared drives, teams use Isora to measure progress, track corrective actions, and generate audit-ready reports that meet the expectations of the Auditor of State and CyberOhio guidance. Designed to align with SAM 5300 policy, NIST SP 800-53 controls, and California’s SIMM standards (5300-C, 5305, 5330-B), Isora supports real-time oversight, audit readiness, and consistent reporting to CDT and OIS. Every workflow is structured, collaborative, and built to scale with your agency’s security responsibilities.

Gain clarity on program readiness

Evaluate ORC § 9.64 readiness against NIST CSF or CIS Controls

Isora helps local governments assess cybersecurity program maturity using the frameworks referenced in ORC § 9.64. Teams can launch structured assessments aligned to NIST CSF or CIS Controls, assign owners, and track progress across departments. Each cycle produces defensible evidence that demonstrates implementation of the law’s six required components.

Stay ahead of risks

Maintain a live, auditable risk register aligned with state frameworks

Isora’s risk management workspace gives political subdivisions a single, collaborative register to document, prioritize, and monitor cybersecurity risks. Risks can be mapped to NIST CSF or CIS Controls, assigned owners, and linked to mitigation activities for transparency and accountability. The result is a defensible record of how risk is identified and managed across the organization.

How does Isora GRC help local governments meet ORC § 9.64 requirements?

Isora GRC gives Ohio political subdivisions one platform to organize, track, and prove their cybersecurity program under ORC § 9.64. It centralizes assessments, risk documentation, and program evidence so local governments can demonstrate compliance with the six required components. Isora helps security and compliance teams stay audit-ready for the Auditor of State while aligning their work with the state’s cybersecurity frameworks.

Which parts of the ORC § 9.64 program does Isora directly support?

Isora supports the governance and documentation requirements of ORC § 9.64. It helps teams evaluate and record progress across key components such as risk identification, impact assessment, and program improvement. Isora does not execute technical controls like system patching or employee training but provides the structure to assess whether those activities are complete and to maintain verifiable records for audits.

How does Isora align with NIST CSF and CIS Controls, the frameworks referenced in the law?

Isora maps assessments and risks directly to NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and CIS Controls, both recognized in ORC § 9.64 as acceptable best-practice standards. Local governments can use Isora to measure their current state against these frameworks, identify gaps, and track corrective actions over time. This alignment ensures cybersecurity programs remain consistent with the guidance provided by CyberOhio and the Auditor of State.

Can Isora generate reports formatted for the Auditor of State’s (AOS) cybersecurity audit?

Yes. Isora’s Reports & Scorecards capability allows teams to produce AOS-ready summaries that show compliance progress, control alignment, and remediation activity. Reports consolidate data from assessments, risk registers, and inventories into clear, exportable evidence that can be shared with auditors or leadership during reviews.

What makes Isora different from other GRC or compliance automation tools for Ohio governments?

Isora is purpose-built for security and compliance teams in public-sector. Unlike enterprise GRC suites or audit automation tools, Isora focuses on the specific needs of lean, public-sector programs. It is fast to deploy, easy to use, and designed around assessments, risk tracking, and reporting. Isora helps Ohio local governments operationalize compliance under ORC § 9.64 without adding complexity or administrative overhead.
