Gov. Mike Braun's administration has scrapped a transparency tool that allowed the public to search for state employees' roles and contact information after determining the application posed a cybersecurity risk.
The tool allowed the public to find basic information about state employees, including the agency they work for, their work email, their office phone number and their job title. It has been available since at least March 2018, according to the Internet Archive, but appeared to go offline at some point July 8.
