SAO Testimonial: Cyber Checkup Service
Monday, 5 January, 2026
What do local governments think of the free, award-winning cyber checkup service from the Office of the Washington State Auditor? We asked City of Port Townsend's Network Administrator, David Olsen, that very same question! Hear what he had to say in this episode of the Aud Pod as he shares his thoughts with SAO’s Cybersecurity Specialist, Daniel Mann. David and the City were one of the first local governments to receive our cyber checkup analysis, and he shares valuable insight on the process, results, and whether he’d recommend it to other governments. SAO’s cyber checkups provide a fast, free and independent assessment of a government’s vulnerability to common threats, along with actionable steps to help improve its overall cyber health. The program was recognized with an Excellence in Accountability Award from the National State Auditors Association (NSAA) in 2024 and has helped nearly 100 governments since its inception.You can find more information online at https://sao.wa.gov/becybersmart. As always, if you have a question, topic suggestion or other feedback, send us an email at webmaster@sao.wa.gov. Thanks for listening!
