The Fulcrum Group, a managed IT services provider serving the Dallas–Fort Worth area, has announced a new partnership with CyberQP to bolster Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliance and security for public safety and municipal clients. The collaboration will deploy CyberQP’s QGuard and QDesk solutions to automate password management, enforce real-time auditing, and streamline secure access for law enforcement and justice agencies.
Under CJIS Security Policy version 6.0, public safety organizations face updated requirements to protect sensitive criminal justice information. The Fulcrum Group’s STARpower IT framework will integrate with CyberQP’s tools to address these mandates, particularly around service account vulnerabilities. According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, service accounts remain a common attack vector due to weak or unmanaged credentials. The new capabilities include automated password rotation, real-time auditing, and enhanced protection against insider and external threats.
“With enhancements in CJIS Security Policy version 6.0, public safety organizations face new requirements to improve IT security,” said Steve Meek, CEO of The Fulcrum Group. “By combining our STARpower IT framework with CyberQP’s automation tools, we’re not just meeting those requirements—we’re improving protection for service accounts and accelerating response times for sensitive requests.”
The partnership also aims to improve IT support workflows for field personnel, such as password resets for patrol units, through identity-verified processes. “Public safety organizations depend on reliable, compliant technology to protect our communities,” Meek added. “This partnership helps them meet CJIS requirements while making secure access simpler and faster—without sacrificing protection.”
Mateo Barraza, CEO of CyberQP, emphasized the broader importance of compliance. “CJIS compliance isn't just about checking a box—it’s about delivering real-world security that stands up to today’s threats. Our platform empowers IT providers like Fulcrum to deliver secure, efficient service while giving public safety organizations the protection they deserve.”
The Fulcrum Group, based in Keller, Texas, has served healthcare, manufacturing, local government, and nonprofits for over 20 years. CyberQP, backed by SOC 2 Type 2 certification, specializes in Privileged Access Management and End-User Access Management solutions.
