GainSide: Your Trusted Partner for CJIS Compliance
Navigate CJIS Compliance with Confidence — Expert Guidance, Hands-On Support
Protecting Criminal Justice Information (CJI) requires more than implementing cybersecurity tools. Organizations must maintain security controls, policies, processes, documentation, and ongoing practices that align with the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy.
GainSide simplifies the process with a high-touch, concierge approach—combining cybersecurity expertise, hands-on implementation, and personalized compliance support from assessment through ongoing readiness.
Protect CJI. Meet CJIS Requirements. Without the Headache.
For organizations that access, store, process, transmit, or support systems containing Criminal Justice Information, meeting CJIS Security Policy requirements is critical. The policy is designed to protect CJI throughout its lifecycle and applies broadly to individuals and organizations with access to CJI or supporting criminal justice services.
The challenge? CJIS compliance extends well beyond technology. Organizations need to address security controls, personnel, policies, access, documentation, incident response, and ongoing oversight.
GainSide changes that.
We deliver a white-glove, done-with-you approach that helps you understand your requirements, identify gaps, implement the appropriate safeguards, and maintain an environment designed for CJIS compliance.
