In Norse mythology, Odin, the Allfather and chief of the Aesir gods, is often associated with a pair of ravens named Huginn and Muninn. These two intelligent and mysterious birds play a significant role in the Norse pantheon, serving as Odin's messengers and scouts. Every day, these ravens would embark on a journey across the Nine Realms, observing the happenings in Midgard (the world of humans) and reporting back to Odin in Asgard. They would fly over the land, seas, and skies, seeking knowledge and insights. Huginn represented the concept of conscious thought, and Muninn represented deep memory and perception. At the end of the day, Huginn and Muninn would return to Odin's shoulders and whisper their findings into his ears. This allowed Odin to stay informed about events in the realms and maintain his wisdom and knowledge.

CJIS Security Policy
The CJIS Security Policy (CJISSECPOL) provides Criminal Justice Agencies (CJA) and Noncriminal Justice Agencies (NCJA) with a minimum set of security requirements associated with the creation, viewing, modification, transmission, dissemination, storage, or destruction of Criminal Justice Information (CJI).
The Policy empowers agencies with the insight and ability to tune their security programs according to their risks, needs,budgets, and resource constraints while remaining compliant with the baseline level of security set forth in the Policy.
CJIS compliance is relevant to a CJA or NCJA. c2share can operate in a compliant environment, but is not compliant by itself.
CJIS Controls
c2share supports controls from the following sections of the CJIS Security Policy:
5.4: Auditing and Accountability
5.5: Access Control
5.6: Identification and Authentication
5.8: Media Protection
5.10: System and Communications Protection
Market Research Quote
We do our own primary market research. The following is from 2023 research on the differences between data, digital evidence, and CJI.
Q: Do you consider data that comes from unvetted sources (tip lines, corporations sending surveillance videos, etc.) as digital evidence before it reaches your systems and CJI once it reaches your systems?
A: It is understood that the vast majority of incoming data from the sources you mentioned is not going to include any true CJI per that definition, and I agree that we should probably only be concerned with this when it reaches our repository. However, if possible, it seems best to me that the system is compliant at the source of original ingestion from any source. That way there should be no concerns from any government users.
