What is different about IT for government and public sector

Public-sector buyers answer to residents and to auditors, and they procure in the open. The work spans police and fire systems with their own uptime demands, public records obligations, and a network that has to serve buildings nobody would design that way today.

Compliance that actually bites

CJIS for any system touching criminal justice data, state public-records and retention statutes, and increasingly cyber-insurance conditions that function as de facto standards. Federal grant funding brings its own control requirements.

Questions worth asking a provider

  • Are your staff CJIS-screened, and can you evidence it?
  • How do you handle records retention and public-records requests against our data?
  • What does your pricing look like against our procurement rules and fiscal year?
