RESOLUTION FOR THE PROTECTION AND SECURITY OF MARICOPA COUNTY DATA WHEREAS, Maricopa County is committed to the security and privacy of its data; and WHEREAS, Maricopa County has a particular interest in guarding sensitive information from being accessed by foreign governments or actors; and WHEREAS, the social networking app, TikTok, is a wholly owned subsidiary of a Beijing, China based technology firm, ByteDance; and WHEREAS, TikTok has been found to have security vulnerabilities that, if unresolved, could expose County-owned or County-leased devices to malicious actors, creating potential security and privacy risks to County agencies and the systems and data the County is charged with protecting; and WHEREAS, TikTok has already been banned on government devices by the federal government and the State of Arizona due to concerns that the Chinese government could force ByteDance to hand over the sensitive data of TikTok’s American users; and WHEREAS, TikTok is likely not the only current or future application to pose significant cybersecurity risks to the County; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that TikTok shall be banned on all County- issued devices as follows: • Within 30 days of this Order’s issuance, the county manager shall develop a policy detailing how the ban will be implemented across appointed county departments; and, • Other County policies shall be updated where applicable to reflect this directive; and, • Within 90 days, the Office of Enterprise Technology shall prevent the installation of TikTok on County-owned or County-leased devices; and, • Annually, the Office of Enterprise Technology shall produce a report identifying other applications that pose potential cybersecurity threats and that may need to be similarly restricted.
