What type of information does the TIES system work with that requires strict controls?

The TIES system specifically handles confidential criminal justice information, which is sensitive and requires strict controls to protect the privacy and integrity of individuals and the justice system overall. This type of information often includes data related to criminal investigations, arrests, and legal proceedings, which, if mishandled or improperly accessed, could lead to significant consequences for both individuals and public safety.

Since such information pertains to law enforcement activities and the protection of personal rights, it is governed by legal standards and regulations to ensure that it is used appropriately and kept secure from unauthorized access. Maintaining strict controls over this information is essential to preserve trust in the criminal justice system and to safeguard the rights of those involved.

While health records, financial transactions, and employee performance records are also sensitive and can require confidentiality, the unique nature of criminal justice information and its implications necessitate an even higher level of scrutiny and control.
