A comprehensive and precise set of cybersecurity rules, CJIS policy serves national interests by protecting national security. Government entities such as law enforcement agencies and companies tasked with managing sensitive information of the United States Department of Justice must ensure that they comply with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s CJIS policies in their wireless networking and data encryption activities.
