Report of The Board Committees:
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee met on July 5 at 7:30 am. The meeting was attended by Trustees Watson, Evans, Nicozisin,
Wahby, and Wilson with Trustee Fehr attending online. Chairperson Watson called roll and had no introductory
comments. The minutes of the May 31 Audit Committee meeting were approved.
Next, Internal Audit made two I.T.- related presentations. Both presentations were related to network systems security.
The first presentation was for an audit engagement that involved the performance of attack and penetration testing
of all District-managed network systems, which include internal networks and external websites. All systems facing
the internet were included in the engagement scope. The attacks were designed to simulate the techniques of real-
world cyber attackers. The engagement received two separate opinions: Satisfactory for the External Penetration
testing and Satisfactory for the Internal Penetration Testing. The report contained two (2) Opportunities for
Improvement, which were presented to and discussed with the Committee.
The second presentation was for a social engineering exercise involving a phishing testing campaign performed by
Internal Audit. The campaign targeted the email addresses of all 961 District employees. Real-world spoofing tactics
were used to test the employees’ behavior when subjected to phishing attacks. The results of the testing were
presented and discussed with the Committee. The overall results were favorable. However, there were a limited
number of employees who did not respond well to the test or bait emails. These employees will receive additional
training. This type of exercise will be performed annually to assist with overall awareness and education regarding
the area.
During the presentations, questions were addressed by Internal Audit as they were received from the Committee.
