CJIS compliance services · Orlando, FL
CJIS compliance for the IT systems your agency depends on.
Tech Hero helps law enforcement and criminal justice agencies, and the vendors that serve them, meet FBI CJIS Security Policy requirements with managed IT, security controls and audit-ready documentation.
Who needs CJIS compliance
- Police departments and sheriff’s offices
- Courts, corrections and dispatch centers
- City and county IT departments
- Contractors and cloud vendors with access to criminal justice information
Why it matters
One policy. Every system that touches CJI.
The FBI CJIS Security Policy sets minimum security requirements for anyone who accesses Criminal Justice Information. It covers agencies and also the contractors, cloud providers and IT partners that work on their behalf.
Audited by your state
Compliance is reviewed by your state CJIS Systems Agency, so documentation and evidence need to be ready before the audit, not after.
Vendors are in scope
Private contractors with access to CJI are generally expected to sign the CJIS Security Addendum and meet the same controls as the agency.
Gaps carry real risk
Findings can put an agency’s access to critical state and national systems at risk, and weak controls put sensitive data at risk.

Questions
Common CJIS questions
Is there a CJIS certification?
The FBI does not certify vendors or products. Compliance is assessed against the CJIS Security Policy, typically by your state CJIS Systems Agency.
Does our IT vendor need to sign the Security Addendum?
Private contractors with access to CJI are generally required to. Your CSA can confirm what applies to your agency.
Can we use cloud services with CJI?
Often, yes, as long as the provider and your agreements can meet CJIS requirements. We review the setup before any migration.
How long does getting compliant take?
It depends on your environment and how many gaps we find. The gap assessment gives you a realistic plan and timeline.
