Case Study: Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts build cybersecurity maturity with CAI

Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts maps 101 MISAC questions with Computer AID, Inc.

The Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD), a wastewater utility serving 5.7 million Californians, faced a multi-layered cybersecurity challenge. They needed to assess their security posture to compete for a MISAC IT Excellence Award and strengthen their critical infrastructure, but lacked the internal expertise to navigate the complex MISAC and CIS framework requirements. They partnered with Computer AID, Inc. (CAI) for a customized cybersecurity framework assessment.

CAI developed a proprietary methodology that simultaneously conducted a maturity and compliance assessment, mapping the requirements directly to LACSD's mission and values. The solution provided a prioritized, risk-ranked action plan and delivered a submission-ready packet for the MISAC award. As a result, LACSD gained a clear baseline of its cybersecurity posture and a strategic, multi-year roadmap for improvement, transforming security into a unified business priority with executive visibility.
