Ensure the integrity of democratic processes with a comprehensive self-assessment tool designed for professionals responsible for election technology governance. This programme delivers a structured, ethics-driven framework to evaluate and strengthen the deployment, oversight, and security of electoral systems across all phases—from procurement and implementation to auditing and public reporting.

Aligned with international best practices and real-world operational demands, this assessment equips organisations with the tools to navigate complex moral and technical challenges in election management. With cyber threats and public trust at the forefront, professionals gain actionable insights to balance innovation with accountability.

  • Define clear boundaries for automation in voter registration, ballot casting, and tabulation—ensuring decisions are guided by risk exposure, auditability, and ethical transparency.
  • Assess jurisdictional responsibilities across federal, state, and local levels, clarifying oversight and technology deployment protocols.
  • Evaluate the use of internet-connected systems in vote transmission and reporting, with rigorous threat modelling to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  • Compare proprietary versus open-source software in public infrastructure, weighing security, transparency, and vendor accountability.
  • Establish robust vendor governance, including access controls, data usage contracts, and background screening for third parties.
  • Conduct advanced threat modelling using frameworks like STRIDE and DREAD to identify risks in firmware, election management systems, and supply chains.
  • Simulate cyber incidents through tabletop exercises, preparing teams for ransomware attacks and media scrutiny during critical election phases.
  • Integrate intelligence from trusted sources such as CISA and ISACs while maintaining local autonomy and decision-making resilience.

Designed for election administrators, cybersecurity leads, policy advisors, and technology auditors, this self-assessment promotes a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and ethical leadership in democratic infrastructure.

Take proactive control of election integrity—undertake the self-assessment today and strengthen public confidence in electoral outcomes.
