Mapping Zero Trust To The CJIS Framework

For networking teams within Law Enforcement organizations, the operational burden of securing Criminal Justice Information is not just implementing controls but maintaining compliance and continuously proving adherence during audits.

Nile’s whitepaper identifies where the traditional network leaves systems and data exposed, and why a new segmentation architecture is needed. Securing PII and other data based on 30+ year old network security principles no longer locks things down as expected.

Today’s Reality

Most organizations are operating networks based on thirty year-old architectures
CJIS mandates the isolation of resources which is nearly impossible in a VLAN based network
IT teams are understaffed and overwhelmed by the administrative burden of CJIS audits
Built-in zero trust that adheres to new and continuously evolving requirements is a must
In an environment where security directly impacts access to critical national databases and funding, the shift to a zero-trust network isn’t just an option – it’s how IT stays ahead.

What’s inside the paper
