The Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) refers to a division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States that provides criminal justice information, systems, and services to law enforcement, national security, and criminal justice agencies at the federal, state, local, and tribal levels. CJIS compliance requirements are necessary to protect national security while safeguarding the civil liberties of individuals and businesses.
The CJIS Security Policy laid out by the division defines 13 areas that must be evaluated by all handling, storing, or having access to CJI. CJI includes data but is not limited to, biographic, biometric, identity history, property, and case or incident history data.
The essential premise of the CJIS Security Policy is to provide appropriate controls to protect the full lifecycle of CJI, whether at rest or in transit. The Policy provides guidelines for the creation, viewing, modification, transmission, dissemination, storage, and destruction of CJI.
This Policy applies to every individual—contractor, private entity, noncriminal justice agency representative, or member of a criminal justice entity—with access to, or who operates in support of, criminal justice services and information.
The determination of compliance with CJIS for a specific solution lacks a universally standardized approach. Consequently, each state is tasked with individual responsibility for ensuring compliance within its jurisdiction, being individually accountable to the FBI. IDrive Inc. provides critical data security protection without compromising privacy and can help customers achieve CJIS compliance.
