At IDRecon, we take the protection of sensitive criminal justice information seriously. Our platform is built to comply with the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy, ensuring that all data is handled according to the strictest security protocols to maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
What is CJIS Compliance?
CJIS compliance refers to adhering to the standards set by the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Security Policy, which dictates how criminal justice information (CJI) must be securely handled. This includes information such as criminal history, biometric data, case histories, and more. By ensuring CJIS compliance, we safeguard this critical data from unauthorized access and misuse.
CJIS Security Policy Overview
We follow the CJIS Security Policy, which includes guidelines for encryption, access control, incident response, and auditing. Our system is designed to meet or exceed the latest CJIS standards, ensuring that criminal justice professionals can trust our platform to protect sensitive information at all times.
Encryption Standards
All sensitive data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using the latest industry-standard encryption methods, including TLS 1.2+ for data transmission and AES-256 for data storage. This ensures that criminal justice information remains secure from unauthorized access or exposure.
Access Control & Authentication
We implement robust access control measures, including multi-factor authentication (MFA) and strict password policies, to ensure only authorized users can access CJIS data. Our role-based access control system further restricts data access to those who need it to perform their duties.
Auditing and Logging
All access to CJIS data is logged and regularly audited to maintain accountability. Our platform generates detailed logs of user actions, providing a comprehensive audit trail to comply with CJIS monitoring requirements and ensure any unauthorized activity is quickly detected and addressed.
Incident Response
In the event of a security incident, we have a detailed incident response plan in place to ensure quick detection, containment, and remediation. We comply with CJIS requirements for breach notification, promptly informing affected parties and the appropriate authorities if a data breach occurs.
Physical Security
We maintain strict physical security measures to protect our systems and data centers. These include controlled access, surveillance systems, and security protocols to prevent unauthorized entry. Visitor access is monitored, and security staff ensures the integrity of the physical environment.
Data Retention and Disposal
We adhere to strict data retention policies to ensure that CJIS data is only kept as long as necessary. When data is no longer required, it is securely destroyed using industry-standard methods, ensuring that no sensitive information remains accessible after its useful life.
Continuous Compliance
We continuously review and update our security policies and procedures to remain compliant with the latest CJIS standards. This includes undergoing regular audits and assessments to ensure our platform stays ahead of emerging threats and remains fully compliant with CJIS requirements.
