CJIS-Aligned Task Force

The GovRAMP CJIS-Aligned Task Force unites public safety agencies, industry experts, and FBI CJIS advisors to align CJIS Policy 5.9.5 with GovRAMP’s Moderate Impact Level requirements. Together, we’re delivering a unified framework that simplifies secure cloud adoption for criminal justice and public safety organizations—advancing both innovation and trust.

Supporting Public Safety Through Secure Cloud Adoption

The CJIS-Aligned Task Force was established to bring consistency and clarity to CJIS compliance in cloud environments. Through close collaboration with state and local agencies, law enforcement, and private-sector leaders, the team developed the GovRAMP CJIS-Aligned Overlay Controls and Parameters, mapping CJIS Policy 5.9.5 to GovRAMP’s Moderate Impact Level baseline.

This alignment empowers agencies to confidently procure cloud solutions that meet both CJIS and GovRAMP standards—while helping providers align their offerings to better serve the public safety community.
