Authorizing the chief information security officer to receive audit reports and updating statutes related to services provided by the chief information technology officer.

HB 2270 updates Kansas law to require that information technology audit reports be shared with the chief information security officer (CISO) in addition to the chief information technology officer (CITO). The bill revises statutes governing the CITO's office, clarifying that it provides data processing and cloud services to state agencies and must approve major IT equipment purchases (costing $75,000+). These changes improve coordination between security and technology teams across state government. The bill directly affects state agencies, the CITO, and the CISO in all branches (executive, legislative, judicial) when IT systems are audited.
