Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS)

ATTENTION ALL JPAS USERS

It is a violation of DoD Regulations to share username/password, any Approved Active Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Certificate, or allow an individual to access another person’s JPAS account in any manner or form. Only the authorized account holder is permitted to access/use his/her account. Examples of Approved Active PKI Certificates are Common Access Cards (CAC) and Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards, to include External Certificate Authority (ECA) cards.

There are no combined or “company” JPAS user accounts. Users are required to have their own Approved Active PKI Certificate and JPAS account. Individuals cannot use another person’s credentials. If you are not using your own account and certificate that are assigned to you, DISCONTINUE USING JPAS IMMEDIATELY and inform your Industrial Security Representative.

Any Account Manager, authorized or unauthorized user who violates JPAS security and account management policies will risk immediate forfeiture and TERMINATION of their JPAS account, regardless of any access requirements that may exist to support mission-critical and job-essential tasks. When you select ‘AGREE’ at the bottom of this page, you are agreeing to comply with all JPAS administration policies, to include the forfeiture of JPAS access if terms of use are violated.

- At any time, the USG may inspect and seize data stored on this IS.

- Communications using, or data stored on, this IS are not private, are subject to routine monitoring, interception, and search, and may be disclosed or used for any USG authorized purpose.

- This IS includes security measures (e.g., authentication and access controls) to protect USG interests--not for your personal benefit or privacy.

Department of Defense (DOD) policy prohibits the use of web technology which collects user-identifying information such as extensive lists of previously visited sites, e-mail addresses, or other information to identify or build profiles on individual visitors to DOD publicly accessible web sites. DOD policy, however, does permit the use of "cookies" or other web technology to collect or store non-user identifying information but only if users are advised of what information is collected or stored, why it is being done, and how it is to be used. This policy will be clarified to make clear that "persistent cookies" (i.e., those that can be used to track users over time and across different web sites) are authorized only when there is a compelling need to gather the data on the site; appropriate technical procedures have been established to safeguard the data; and the Secretary of Defense has personally approved use of the cookie.
