SECTION 1: CJIS Overview & Policy Framework (8 Questions)
Q1: The FBI CJIS Security Policy applies to which of the following entities?
A. Only federal law enforcement agencies
B. Criminal justice agencies, non-criminal justice agencies, and contractors with access to CJI
[CORRECT]
C. Only state police departments
D. Only agencies that access the National Crime Information Center (NCIC)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: CJIS Security Policy 5.9.1 applies to all entities that access, process, store, or transmit
Criminal Justice Information (CJI), including criminal justice agencies (CJAs), non-criminal
justice agencies (NCJAs), and contractors/vendors. Options A, C, and D incorrectly limit the
scope—the policy covers all entities with CJI access regardless of agency type or specific system
accessed.
Q2: What is the primary purpose of the FBI CJIS Security Policy?
A. To provide voluntary security guidelines for law enforcement
B. To establish minimum security requirements for protecting CJI and ensuring data integrity,
confidentiality, and availability [CORRECT]
C. To regulate criminal sentencing procedures
D. To standardize police officer hiring practices nationwide
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The CJIS Security Policy establishes minimum security standards to protect the
confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Criminal Justice Information (CJI). Option A is
incorrect—the policy is mandatory, not voluntary. Options C and D describe unrelated criminal
justice functions outside CJIS scope.

Q3: Under CJIS Security Policy 5.9, how often must agencies review and update their security
policies?
A. Every 3 years
B. Annually or whenever significant system changes occur [CORRECT]
C. Only when the FBI releases a new policy version
D. Every 5 years regardless of changes
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Agencies must review security policies annually and update them whenever
significant changes occur to systems, operations, or threats. Option A and D intervals are too
long. Option C is insufficient—agencies must proactively review annually, not just wait for FBI
updates.
Q4: Criminal Justice Information (CJI) includes which of the following data types?
A. Only NCIC wanted person records
B. Biometric data, identity history, biographic data, case/incident history, and vehicle data
[CORRECT]
C. Only traffic citation records
D. Publicly available court records only
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: CJI includes all data required for criminal justice agencies to perform their functions,
including biometric (fingerprints, facial recognition), identity history, biographic, case/incident
history, and vehicle information. Options A, C, and D are subsets or incorrect categorizations of
CJI.
Q5: [2026/2027 UPDATE] The latest CJIS Security Policy updates emphasize which emerging
security priority?
A. Elimination of all remote access to CJI systems
B. Enhanced multi-factor authentication requirements and zero trust architecture principles
[CORRECT]
C. Allowing unencrypted email transmission of CJI for convenience
D. Reducing physical security requirements for cost savings
Correct Answer: B
, 3
Rationale: Recent CJIS updates align with federal zero trust initiatives and strengthen MFA
requirements across all access vectors. Option A is impractical—remote access is permitted with
controls. Option C violates encryption requirements. Option D contradicts security principles.
Q6: A non-criminal justice agency (NCJA) that receives CJI for licensing purposes must:
A. Return the data within 24 hours
B. Comply with CJIS Security Policy requirements and sign a security agreement [CORRECT]
C. Only comply with state data protection laws
D. De-identify all CJI before use
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: NCJAs must comply with CJIS Security Policy and execute security agreements with
the CJIS Systems Agency (CSA). Option A has no 24-hour requirement. Option C is
insufficient—federal CJIS requirements apply. Option D is not required for all NCJA uses.
Q7: The CJIS Systems Officer (CSO) is responsible for:
A. Only technical network maintenance
B. Overall CJIS security program management, compliance monitoring, and liaison with the FBI
[CORRECT]
C. Only hiring and firing personnel
D. Only physical security of the building
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The CSO manages the agency's entire CJIS security program, ensures compliance,
and serves as FBI liaison. Options A, C, and D describe limited functions that may fall under
CSO oversight but do not encompass the full role defined in CJIS Policy Section 4.1.
Q8: Failure to comply with CJIS Security Policy can result in:
A. Only a warning letter with no consequences
B. Suspension or termination of CJI access, criminal penalties, and civil liability [CORRECT]
C. Only a requirement to submit a written apology
D. No consequences as compliance is voluntary
Correct Answer: B
