How often must system performance checks be conducted for CJIS systems?

System performance checks for CJIS systems must be conducted as defined by the agency's policy because this approach allows for flexibility based on the specific operational needs and structure of the agency. Each agency may have different requirements depending on their usage of the CJIS systems, the sensitivity of the data they handle, and their internal protocols. This ensures that the agency can adapt to changes in workload, technology, and regulatory standards, while maintaining compliance and ensuring effective performance monitoring.

While some agencies may choose to conduct checks on a weekly or monthly basis, others may determine that less frequent checks are sufficient based on their established policies. This tailored approach enhances both the efficiency and effectiveness of the monitoring process, aligning with best practices in data security and system integrity. The requirement for checks to be governed by agency policy underscores the importance of customizing performance assessments to fit the specific context in which the CJIS systems operate.
