Security by Design

CaseFile Connect is engineered to safeguard sensitive legal and case information through a layered security program primarily aligned with NIST SP 800-53 and leveraging a Zero Trust Architecture. Our controls span access, identity, system protection, monitoring, and continuous improvement to help maintain strict data security practices required for use inside correctional facilities.

Data Encryption

Documents and multimedia data that is loaded to the CaseFile Connect solution is secured and encrypted, both at rest and during transit. All encryption uses open-source encrypting mechanisms, designed and implemented by information system security experts.

• 256bit AES encryption and TLS
• PKI for trusted key management
• ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST SP800-53
• HIPAA, PCI and PII aware and compliant
• Data maintained in U.S.
• Corp and Ops systems segregation

Access Control

The CaseFile Connect application is tightly controlled in advanced ways to ensure only authorized access.

• Role based access
• Chain-of-custody and ACLs maintained
• Strong password and MFA policies enforced
• System time-out policies
• Access available only via HTTPS
• Hierarchical security paradigm
• Employee background checks
• Strict internal security policy enforcement

System & Data Protection

CaseFile Connect employs layered defense mechanisms to ensure all systems and data remain secure, resilient, and protected from unauthorized access or compromise.

• Hardened system architecture with defense-in-depth controls
• Continuous protection of data in transit and at rest

Identity & Authentication

CaseFile Connect enforces strict identity verification and authentication measures to ensure only validated users can access protected information and system resources.

• Unique user identification with role-based profiles
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) required for all access
• Strong password creation, rotation, and reuse policies
• Secure session initiation with automated timeout and reauthentication
• Controlled management of credentials and authentication tokens
• Protection of identifiers and passwords in transit and at rest
• Verified identity proofing for new accounts and access changes
• Continuous monitoring for unauthorized access attempts or anomalies

System & Information Integrity

CaseFile Connect actively safeguards system integrity and ensures the accuracy, reliability, and trustworthiness of all information processed within the platform.

• Continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities, threats, and abnormal activity
• Automated detection and alerting for suspicious or unauthorized changes
• Regular application of security patches and updates
• Integrity checks to validate data accuracy and prevent corruption
• Malware protection with real-time scanning and prevention controls
• Strict controls to prevent unauthorized code execution or system modifications
• Timely remediation of identified security issues
• Safeguards to ensure information remains complete, authentic, and unaltered

Awareness & Training

CaseFile Connect ensures all personnel understand their security responsibilities and are trained to recognize, prevent, and report security risks.

• Mandatory security awareness training for all employees
• Role-specific training for users with elevated privileges
• Ongoing education on emerging threats, phishing, and safe practices
• Regular testing and reinforcement of security concepts
• Documented policies outlining user responsibilities
• Continuous improvement of training content based on trends and incidents
