Step 6 — Compliance and trust

You will handle criminal-justice-adjacent data. Treat the desk like a small regulated site from day one, even if you are the only operator.

• Access

  Named operator logins. No shared passwords on a sticky note. Lock the workstation when you walk to the printer.

• Physical

  Scanner and PC are not in an unlocked lobby overnight. Mobile kits live in the vehicle’s cargo area, not on the back seat at lunch.

• Training

  Whoever sits at the platen needs capture technique and a basic CJIS awareness path your vendor and state expect.

• Vendors

  Prefer platforms with CJIS-aligned controls, encryption, audit logs, and a SOC 2 report you can hand to an enterprise customer.
