Deliver CJIS Compliance as a Managed Service
If you manage IT for a police department, sheriff's office, court, or 911 center, you're already in scope for the FBI's CJIS Security Policy. Nuronus gives your MSP the platform to map all 13 CJIS policy areas, collect evidence, and deliver audit-ready readiness reports — and win an underserved, high-margin niche most vendors ignore.

The Problem
Serve One Law Enforcement Client? You're Already in CJIS Scope.
The CJIS Security Policy governs how Criminal Justice Information (CJI) is stored, processed, and transmitted — and it applies to any MSP touching the network, endpoints, or accounts that access it. Most MSPs don't realize they're in scope until an audit looms. The ones who get ahead of it lock in long-term government contracts with premium margins and almost no competition.
- Manage IT for any agency that accesses CJI, and CJIS compliance is federal policy — not optional
- Agencies increasingly demand their MSP prove CJIS compliance before an audit, not after
- 13 prescriptive policy areas — MFA, encryption, audit logging, background checks — are easy to miss without a checklist
- State CSA triennial audits sweep in contractors too, and evidence is scattered when the auditor arrives
- Most compliance vendors ignore CJIS entirely, leaving MSPs to piece it together from PDFs and spreadsheets
Capabilities
CJIS Readiness, Automated and Billable
Nuronus handles the heavy lifting of CJIS preparation so you can focus on delivering value to your public safety clients and building a high-retention government practice.
13 Policy Area Mapping
Every CJIS policy area — from identification and authentication to personnel security — mapped to one underlying control set. See exactly which controls are met, partially met, or missing for each agency.
One assessment, reused across every framework a client needs
Advanced Auth & Encryption Tracking

Cut evidence collection time dramatically before every triennial audit
Remediation & Readiness Reporting
Track remediation across all 13 policy areas, assign owners and deadlines, and hand agencies an audit-ready, white-label CJIS readiness report under your own brand.
Provide ongoing CJIS monitoring as a monthly retainer

FAQ
CJIS Compliance Questions, Answered
Is my MSP really in scope for CJIS?
Yes. If you manage the network, endpoints, or accounts that access CJI for a law enforcement agency, court, jail, or 911 center, the CJIS Security Policy applies to you as the agency's IT vendor. It's federal policy, not optional.
What are the 13 CJIS policy areas?
They cover information exchange agreements, security awareness training, incident response, auditing and accountability, access control, identification and authentication, configuration management, media protection, physical protection, systems and communications protection, formal audits, personnel security, and mobile devices. Nuronus maps all of them to one control set.
Which clients need CJIS compliance?
Police departments, sheriff's offices, state highway patrol, and federal law enforcement — plus the ones MSPs are more likely to serve: 911/dispatch centers, county and municipal courts, jails, probation offices, and prosecutors. If you serve any of them, you're already in the CJIS ecosystem.
Does Nuronus handle the background checks and audits directly?
Nuronus gives you the platform to document and track personnel security screening, evidence, and readiness across all 13 policy areas. The fingerprint-based background checks and the CSA triennial audit are conducted by the authorities, but Nuronus makes you audit-ready and keeps the evidence organized.
How much does it cost to start?
Nuronus is free for your first 2 clients with all features included and no credit card required. Paid plans start at $99/month as you add more agencies, so you can win a CJIS client before you pay anything.
Own the CJIS Niche Nobody Else Is Chasing
Government contracts are long-term, renewal-heavy, and high-margin — and the CJIS space is comparatively empty because most vendors ignore it. Deliver CJIS compliance well for one agency and referrals cascade through a tight public safety community. Start free and turn your first law enforcement client into a recurring compliance retainer.
