CJIS compliance refers to adherence to the Criminal Justice Information Services Security Policy set by the FBI. It is crucial for justice and public safety agencies as it ensures the secure handling of sensitive criminal justice information. Compliance helps agencies protect data integrity and maintain the confidentiality of sensitive information.

AWS supports CJIS compliance by providing innovative features and security controls that align with the latest FBI CJIS Security Policy updates. Organizations can deploy CJIS workloads in both AWS GovCloud (US) and AWS US Commercial Regions, utilizing services like the AWS Nitro System and AWS Key Management Service to manage sensitive data securely.

Organizations benefit from AWS by having access to highly available, resilient, and secure applications. They maintain complete ownership and control over their sensitive CJIS data, implement stringent access controls, and preserve the chain of custody for digital evidence. This allows for a flexible approach to data security while meeting compliance requirements.
