Livingston County government received a good rating from Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway.
Galloway released a report showing that the county is well-managed with some room for improvement related to electronic data security.
She recommended several changes to increase cybersecurity and better protect sensitive information.
The recommendations include better password and security controls throughout county government.
Livingston County officials are in the process of implementing the new safeguards.
Galloway says that government must take every available precaution to ensure citizens information is protected.
She adds that she is pleased county officials are taking the opportunity to incorporate proper measures to reduce the risk of sensitive financial and personal information ending up in the wrong hands.
Galloway is also conducting an audit of the Livingston County Circuit Court.
The results of that audit will be released later this year.
