Approval of cybersecurity consulting contract
The Board of Trustees approved a proposal to engage Sentinel Technologies, Inc. for cybersecurity consulting services to ensure our members’ confidential information continues to be highly protected. The partnership will enable IMRF to fully implement the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework. In addition, as part of the agreement, Sentinel will staff an onsite Chief Security Officer, offer access to additional expertise from within the company, and provide IMRF 24-hour cybersecurity assistance.
Horizon project update
IMRF updated the Board on the status of the Horizon project, IMRF’s multi-year initiative to modernize our pension system’s technology. The project remains on track. Recent internal software testing showed that the product is hitting quality standards, and IMRF staff are pleased with its usability. A few of the benefits that IMRF members will experience when Horizon goes live include:
- An enhanced self-service website
- Real-time confirmations and status updates sent to the member’s preferred communication contact
- Access to expanded how-to videos, telephone-based self-service, and video conferencing with IMRF representatives
- Increased systems flexibility so deploying changes is easier and faster
