What is CJIS compliance?

CJIS compliance means meeting the FBI CJIS Security Policy controls for protecting criminal justice information, including MFA, encryption, and audit logging.

Why is CJIS a fit for bdManagedIT?

Most local MSPs avoid CJIS. We support Georgia public agencies and housing authorities that need documented, audit-ready CJIS controls.

Who has to follow CJIS in Georgia?

Any Georgia agency or contractor that accesses criminal justice information, including police departments, courts, and many housing authorities, must meet the FBI CJIS Security Policy. If your systems touch CJI in any way, the controls apply to you and to the IT provider that manages those systems.

What are the hardest CJIS controls to meet?

Advanced authentication with MFA, FIPS-validated encryption, and detailed audit logging are where most organizations fall short. Personnel screening and physical security of CJI also trip people up. We map each requirement to a specific control and keep the documentation an auditor expects.

Can a small local agency afford CJIS-ready IT?

Yes. Most CJIS controls, MFA, encryption, logging, and least-privilege access, are built into managed IT rather than billed as a separate project. We scope a right-sized plan for small Georgia agencies and housing authorities so compliance does not require an enterprise budget.
