TIES compliance for Tennessee law enforcement agencies
Tennessee agencies accessing criminal justice information answer to the FBI's CJIS Security Policy v6.0 and TBI's Tennessee Information Enforcement System (TIES), which doubles as the bureau's after-hours emergency communications hub. ComplianceLattice tracks the federal foundation both share.
A federal baseline, with pre-approved terminal sites
Every agency accessing TIES has to execute a User Agreement with TBI, and the physical location of every fixed agency terminal has to be specifically approved by TBI - not just self-certified as physically secure, but reviewed and approved before it counts. TIES Operations runs 24/7 and, alongside monitoring the network and supporting connected agencies, assumes TBI's emergency communications responsibilities after hours and on weekends.
Underneath that terminal-approval requirement, the substance is the same work every CJIS-connected agency in the country does - access control, authentication, audit logging, incident response, and the rest of CJIS v6.0's 20 policy areas. ComplianceLattice tracks that full federal baseline today, covering most of the ground before you get to TIES's terminal-specific requirements.
If your agency relocates a terminal or opens a new substation, TBI's site approval is a step to plan for in advance - not something to request after the equipment is already installed and in use. If your agency is working through TIES requirements now, reach out - alpha tester feedback directly shapes what we build first.
