Before he took office in January, Gov. Ted Strickland asked teams of experts to evaluate key areas of state government and submit findings and recommendations. The team studying the Office of Information Technology concluded the state had .little to no policy guidance or standards. for protecting Social Security numbers and other sensitive information, according to a report prepared as part of Strickland.s transition team. "Ohio's lack of a robust, unified privacy/security capacity lays it open to the type of data spills and breaches that have been plaguing the government and the corporate sectors in increasing numbers over the past few years," the report said.
