Access to rooms containing systems that access FBI CJIS data is critical for maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive information related to criminal justice. Limiting access ensures that only authorized personnel, who have the necessary training and a legitimate need for access due to their criminal justice duties, can enter these areas. This restriction helps mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and potential data breaches, which could jeopardize investigations and the safety of individuals.

This policy requires agencies to implement role-based access controls, emphasizing the importance of restricting access to individuals whose duties necessitate such access. By limiting access in this manner, organizations can safeguard sensitive information while ensuring that law enforcement and other criminal justice functions can proceed efficiently.
