Summary
Somerset County I/T Director Pawel Bialczak recommended commissioners receive county‑assigned email and use county‑issued devices to comply with the FBI's CJIS Security Policy. Options include issuing phones or tablets for county business.
I/T Director Pawel Bialczak briefed the Board of Commissioners on Dec. 17 about steps to enhance county cybersecurity and align commissioner communications with the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy. Bialczak said, to be compliant, commissioners should receive emails only through county‑assigned addresses and use county‑issued devices for county business. He presented options for issuing a phone or tablet to commissioners.
The recommendation aims to ensure compliance with CJIS rules that govern access to criminal justice information. The board did not take an immediate formal vote on device issuance at the meeting; staff will follow up with implementation options and procurement details.
