Exhibit A FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION SERVICES SECURITY ADDENDUM The goal of this document is to augment the CAS Security Policy to ensure adequate security is provided for criminal justice systems while (1) under the control or management of a private entity or (2) connectivity to FBI CJIS Systems has been provided to a private entity (contractor). Adequate security is defined in Office of Management and Budget Circular A-130 as "security commensurate with the risk and magnitude of harm resulting from the loss, misuse, or unauthorized access to or modification of information." The intent of this Security Addendum is to require that the Contractor maintain a security program consistent with federal and state laws, regulations, and standards (including the CJIS Security Policy in effect when the contract is executed), as well as with policies and standards established by the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Advisory Policy Board (APB). This Security Addendum identifies the duties and responsibilities with respect to the installation and maintenance of adequate internal controls within the contractual relationship so that the security and integrity of the FBI's information resources are not compromised. The security program shall include consideration of personnel security, site security, system security, and data security, and technical security. The provisions of this Security Addendum apply to all personnel, systems, networks and support facilities supporting and/or acting on behalf of the government agency. 1.00 Definitions 1.01 Contracting Government Agency (CGA) - the government agency, whether a Criminal Justice Agency or a Noncriminal Justice Agency, which enters into an agreement with a private contractor subject to this Security Addendum. 1.02 Contractor - a private business, organization or individual which has entered into an agreement for the administration of criminal justice with a Criminal Justice Agency or a Noncriminal Justice Agency. 2.00 Responsibilities of the Contracting Government Agency. 2.01 The CGA will ensure that each Contractor employee receives a copy of the Security Addendum and the CJIS Security Policy and executes an acknowledgment of such receipt and the contents of the Security Addendum. The signed acknowledgments shall remain in the possession of the CGA and available for audit purposes. The acknowledgement may be signed by hand or via digital signature (see glossary for definition of digital signature). 3.00 Responsibilities of the Contractor. 3.01 The Contractor will maintain a security program consistent with federal and state laws, regulations, and standards (including the CIIS Security Policy in effect when the contract is executed and all subsequent versions), as well as with policies and standards established by the Criminal Justice Information Services (C)IS) Advisory Policy Board (APB). 4.00 Security Violations. 4.01 The CGA must report security violations to the CIIS Systems Officer (CSO) and the Director, FBI, along with indications of actions taken by the CGA and Contractor. 4.02 Security violations can justify termination of the appended agreement. 4.03 Upon notification, the FBI reserves the right to: a. Investigate or decline to investigate any report of unauthorized use; b. Suspend or terminate access and services, including telecommunications links. The FBI will provide the CSO with timely written notice of the suspension.

Upon termination, the Contractor's records containing CHRI must be deleted or returned to the CGA. 5.00 Audit 5.01 The FBI is authorized to perform a final audit of the Contractor's systems after termination of the Security Addendum. 6.00 Scope and Authority 6.01 This Security Addendum does not confer, grant, or authorize any rights, privileges, or obligations on any persons other than the Contractor, CGA, CJA (where applicable), CSA, and FBI. 6.02 The following documents are incorporated by reference and made part of this agreement: (1) the Security Addendum; (2) the NCIC 2000 Operating Manual; (3) the CJIS Security Policy; and (4) Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20.
