Case Study: City of Marietta achieves CJIS compliance and faster, secure access with Imprivata OneSign

Improve security & increase workflows with Imprivata

The City of Marietta, GA — a Cobb County seat serving about 57,000 residents — faced a tight deadline to meet the FBI’s CJIS advanced authentication mandate so officers could access national crime databases from unsecured locations like patrol cars. The requirement, combined with varied police use cases and a short deployment window, forced the IT team to find a fast, flexible solution that wouldn’t disrupt public‑safety workflows.

Marietta deployed Imprivata OneSign to provide two‑factor authentication (RFID badges/readers in ~55 patrol units) and enterprise single sign‑on across most of its ~760 PCs, with centralized policy management. The rollout delivered CJIS compliance ahead of the deadline, faster and simpler access to business and public‑safety applications (15 apps SSO‑enabled so far), reduced password‑related help‑desk calls, and broader adoption across police, fire, courts and utilities.
