FBI CJIS Security Policy for Auditors

What does FBI CJIS Security Policy require of a Auditor?

The FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy establishes minimum security requirements for access to FBI CJIS Division systems and information including the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), Interstate Identification Index (III), and National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Under FBI CJIS Security Policy, which defines 314 controls, a Auditor's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
