CJIS Security Policy v5.9+ — law-enforcement content, controlled.
The FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy governs access, transmission, storage, and audit of Criminal Justice Information (CJI) including Criminal History Record Information (CHRI). The policy is mandatory for any cloud service touching CJI on behalf of a Criminal Justice Agency (CJA) or Non-Criminal Justice Agency (NCJA) authorised to access CJI.

Specific controls of note: advanced authentication (AA) for indirect access (typically MFA), session lock after 30 minutes inactivity, encryption FIPS 140-2/3 validated, audit-event retention 365 days minimum, personnel screening + fingerprint-based background investigation for personnel touching CJI.
