What Is CJIS Compliance?
The security standard behind every criminal justice record in the country.
CJIS compliance means meeting the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy — the rules that govern how criminal justice information (CJI) is accessed, stored, transmitted, and protected. Any organization that touches CJI must comply, and in Texas, the Department of Public Safety audits agencies against it. Falling short can mean losing access to state and federal databases your operations depend on.
Where Most Agencies Fail a CJIS Audit
- No advanced authentication (MFA) on systems that touch CJI
- Missing or unencrypted data in transit and at rest
- Incomplete audit logs and access records
- Lapsed security awareness training
- Vendors with CJI access and no signed security addendum
Who Needs to Be CJIS Compliant?
It's not just police departments. If your organization touches criminal justice data, the CJIS Security Policy applies to you.
Police Departments
Municipal PDs running CAD/RMS systems, mobile data terminals, and body camera evidence.
Sheriff's Offices & Jails
County law enforcement and detention facilities managing booking, records, and inmate data.
Courts & Prosecutors
Municipal courts, district attorneys, and clerks handling criminal case files and histories.
911 & Dispatch Centers
PSAPs and regional dispatch operations querying state and NCIC databases.
City & County Government
IT departments and HR teams whose networks or staff touch criminal justice systems.
Contractors & Vendors
Private companies that access CJI under an agency contract — the CJIS Security Addendum makes compliance mandatory.
What the CJIS Security Policy Requires
The policy spans 13 areas. These are the requirements that decide most audits — and where we do the heavy lifting.
Advanced Authentication
Multi-factor authentication for every user and device that accesses CJI — including patrol laptops and mobile devices.
Encryption
FIPS 140-2 validated encryption for CJI in transit and at rest, from squad car to server to cloud.
Audit Logging
Complete, retained logs of who accessed what and when — ready to produce during a DPS or FBI audit.
Personnel Security
Fingerprint-based background checks and access management for every employee and vendor with CJI access.
Security Awareness Training
Documented, recurring training for all personnel with CJI access, tracked so nothing lapses before an audit.
Incident Response
A written, tested plan for detecting, reporting, and containing security incidents involving CJI.
Common CJIS Compliance Challenges We Solve
Most agencies don't fail audits from negligence — they fail from limited time, limited staff, and a policy that keeps changing.

Preparing for Audits
We run the same checks Texas DPS auditors will, then fix findings before they become violations.

Learn moreCJIS Compliance FAQs
What does CJIS stand for?
CJIS stands for Criminal Justice Information Services — the largest division of the FBI. Its Security Policy sets the national standard for protecting criminal justice information (CJI), from criminal histories to fingerprints to case data.
What is CJIS compliance?
CJIS compliance means your organization meets every applicable control in the FBI CJIS Security Policy — covering authentication, encryption, auditing, training, personnel screening, and incident response — for any system or person that touches criminal justice information.
Who enforces CJIS compliance in Texas?
The Texas Department of Public Safety serves as the state's CJIS Systems Agency and conducts audits of Texas agencies, alongside periodic FBI audits. Failed audits can jeopardize your agency's access to TLETS, NCIC, and other criminal justice databases.
Is there an official CJIS certification?
No — there is no formal "CJIS certified" credential for organizations. Compliance is demonstrated through your controls, documentation, and audit results. Be cautious of vendors claiming a certification; what matters is whether your environment actually meets the policy.
How do we become CJIS compliant?
Start with a gap assessment against the 13 policy areas, remediate the findings — typically MFA, encryption, logging, training, and background screening — then maintain documentation and monitoring continuously. TechSage Solutions manages that entire lifecycle for agencies in San Antonio and across Texas.
Does CJIS apply to private companies and vendors?
Yes. Any contractor or vendor with access to CJI must sign the CJIS Security Addendum and meet the same security requirements as the agency itself — including background checks and training for personnel.
