Meet the Advanced Authentication Requirement by Becoming CJIS Compliant With Action Identity
The Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) provides state, local, and federal law enforcement and criminal justice agencies with access to critical, personal information such as fingerprint records, criminal histories, and sex offender registrations. In order to prevent unauthorized access to this extremely sensitive information, a security policy governing the access to the CJIS database was enacted on January 1, 2011.
The mandate sets forth the minimum requirements for securing access to the data included within CJIS.
The policy requires "Advanced Authentication", or multi-factor authentication, to be implemented across all those that agencies that access the information contained in the CJIS database. Public safety, judicial, and correctional institutions must comply or face administrative sanctions and/or criminal penalties.
