Outsourcing is defined as a third party (contractor) performing non-criminal justice administrative functions (document destruction, fingerprinting of applicants, determining the suitability of the applicant based on the fingerprint response, storage of criminal history record information etc.) involving access to Interstate Identification Index (III) information or access to Nevada Criminal Justice Information System (NCJIS) information.

NRS 179A.100 (4) and 28 CFR Part 906 permits the outsourcing of non-criminal justice criminal history record checks to either another governmental agency or a private contractor acting as an agent for the authorized receiving agency. Responsibilities of outsourcing may include, but are not limited to: document destruction, fingerprinting of applicants, and screening of job applicants for employment suitability determinations. Entities wishing to outsource some or all of their criminal history record information must be aware of the duties and responsibilities with respect to adequate internal controls within the contractual relationship so that the security and integrity of the III and criminal history information are not compromised. The security program shall include consideration of site security, dissemination and storage restrictions, personnel security, system security, and data security. In addition, all parties will be subject to FBI and State audits and sanctions.

All authorized receiving agencies that choose to outsource non criminal justice administrative functions will be required to enter into a contract with the third party (contractor) which must include the Security and Management Control Outsourcing Standard.
