Florida Digital Service

The Florida Digital Service is a government agency created to lead Florida's cybersecurity efforts. In 2020, the agency, modeled after the United States Digital Service, was created by Ron DeSantis based on legislation introduced by Florida Rep. James Grant, who initially led the organization. The Florida Department of Management Services is the parent agency.

In 2021, several top officials departed without giving any notice and the agency, short-staffed, was unable to create a plan to spend the $30 million in funding assigned to cybersecurity measures by lawmakers. By September 2022 only 40 of 70 full-time positions were filled. Grant announced he would step down from the role of Chief Information Officer on July 1, 2023. In April 2024, a law revised the purpose of the agency to be "to lead enterprise information technology and cybersecurity efforts."
