This Quick Start deploys a standardized environment that helps organizations with workloads that fall in scope for the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy version 5.6. (Note that this Quick Start will help organizations get started, but additional effort will be needed for full alignment to the CJIS Security Policy.)

These requirements typically apply to systems that must go through a formal assessment and authorization process to ensure sufficient protection of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and information systems, based on the security category and impact level of the system (low, moderate, or high), and a risk determination.

The deployment is automated by customizable AWS CloudFormation templates and scripts that build and configure the environment in about 30 minutes. The Quick Start also includes a security controls matrix (Microsoft Excel spreadsheet), which shows how the Quick Start components and configuration map to CJIS requirements.

This Quick Start is part of a set of AWS compliance offerings, which provide security-focused architecture solutions to help Managed Service Providers (MSPs), cloud provisioning teams, developers, integrators, and information security teams follow strict security, compliance, and risk management controls.
