What does the CJIS Security Policy require to be provided to personnel accessing Criminal Justice Information?

The CJIS Security Policy mandates that all personnel who have access to Criminal Justice Information (CJI) must receive security awareness training at least every two years. This requirement ensures that individuals are kept up to date on best practices for information security, the importance of protecting sensitive data, and the policies governing the use of CJI. By reinforcing this training on a two-year basis, the policy aims to mitigate risks associated with human error, educate personnel on emerging threats, and promote a culture of security within criminal justice organizations. This frequency allows for regular updates in response to changes in security landscapes and technology, thereby enhancing the overall security posture of organizations handling CJI.

Other training options listed, while important in their own contexts, do not align with the specific requirements outlined in the CJIS Security Policy. Security awareness training, however, is explicitly stipulated to support the ongoing education and vigilance necessary to safeguard sensitive criminal justice information effectively.
