Granicus — agenda management, public records, web

Granicus runs council agendas, livestreams, and many municipal websites. A Granicus incident is almost always public-facing — and so is the failure mode.

Reporting path

  1. Open a P1 Support case at the Granicus support portal and explicitly flag Security.
  2. Phone the Granicus 24/7 support line — listed in your customer welcome packet.
  3. Email Granicus's trust & safety inbox in writing.
  4. If a livestream or council page has been altered, notify residents through a clean, off-Granicus channel before anything else.

Contract clauses to read first

  • Confirm the SLA includes a security incident notification window (not just uptime).
  • Confirm the data-portability clause — agendas, minutes, video archives must be exportable.
  • Confirm WCAG / Section 508 / AODA conformance language — Granicus's products are required to meet this in most municipal contracts.

Known incident pattern

Granicus has been targeted by credential-stuffing attacks against customer admin portals. The largest individual customer impacts have been from compromised customer credentials, not Granicus itself.
