CJIS Compliance as a Service

The VC3 CJIS Compliance Journey

Your compliance journey will involve four key steps.

1. Gap Assessment

With a compliance gap assessment, VC3 will:

• Compile a list of controls for review in accordance with CJIS compliance framework guidelines.
• Hold an initial discovery meeting with you to understand your current environment.
• Identify any data impacted by CJIS requirements as it relates to your current and future IT environment.
• Perform a remote assessment of your environment and processes, documenting all findings.
• Assist you in assessing any relevant policies and procedures for all currently unmet controls.
• Compile all the information we’ve gathered, analyze it based on our assessment criteria, and let you know where you have gaps.

Upon completion of the gap assessment, we will work with you to help carry out the remediation plan.

2. Implement the Remediation Plan to Ensure Compliance

At this stage, we will provide two key deliverables alongside helping you implement technologies, processes, and procedures to ensure compliance:

• Compliance Roadmap: Following the gap assessment, we will develop a customized strategy for bridging any identified gaps. This actionable roadmap is practical and phased, addressing immediate compliance needs while also outlining a trajectory for long-term security improvements. It will also act as a guide for achieving and upholding ongoing compliance.
• Policies and Procedures: Leveraging the findings from the gap assessment, we will create tailored policies and procedures that align with any applicable security controls. These documents will establish clear, actionable guidelines for maintaining compliance and best practices as part of your daily operations.

3. Continuously Monitor Compliance

Compliance is not a “one and done” activity. We will monitor your adherence to any required controls and remediate compliance gaps as required. Two key deliverables include:

• Integrated Policy and Procedure Optimization: We will continuously enhance your cybersecurity policies and establish a comprehensive Security Governance Framework tailored to your specific operational requirements, ensuring consistent adherence to compliance standards.
• Continuous Compliance Monitoring: We stay current with compliance framework requirements, notifying you about any changes and the impact of these changes on your current compliance posture. Based on these changes, we will create an action plan to address any needed items before you become noncompliant.

4. Audit Preparation and Assistance

We prepare you for audits and support your audit process with any required information. After a gap assessment, remediation of gaps, and continuous compliance monitoring, you will be in great shape for an audit.
