This will require contract holders to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>have a CJSM account<\/li>\n<li>use their CJSM account for all professional email communication across the CJS<\/li>\n<li>request and accept all case papers from the CPS by CJSM alone \u2013 this includes IDPC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"using-cjsm-to-full-potential\">Using CJSM to full potential<\/h3>\n<p>Although take-up by crime providers is good \u2013 with nearly 80% signed up \u2013 many firms are not using CJSM as often as they can. Increasing the use of CJSM will help firms enjoy the full benefits of digital working.<\/p>\n<p>Providers should also note that sending client details by non-secure means could lead to prosecution by the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO).  <\/p>\n<p>The Information Commissioner\u2019s position is that where losses occur \u2013 and where encryption software has not been used to protect the data \u2013 regulatory action may follow.<\/p>\n<p>See below for a link to the ICO\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-can-providers-sign-up\">How can providers sign-up?<\/h3>\n<p>Registration takes about 7 business days to complete. You just need to return the signed terms and conditions and business sponsor information to get the process going.<\/p>\n<p>Where providers already have an Exchange eMail Server on their own network, their SMTP connection to CJSM will be simple to achieve.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"further-information\">Further information<\/h3>\n<p><a rel=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.justice.gov.uk\/about\/criminal-justice-system-efficiency-programme\/defence-practitioners\">CJS efficiency programme: defence practitioners<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/cjsm.justice.gov.uk\/\">CJSM \u2013 how to sign up<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/ico.org.uk\/news\/current_topics\/Our_approach_to_encryption\">ICO \u2013 \u2018Our approach to encryption\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/crime-news-maps-showing-professional-court-user-wi-fi-sites\">Maps showing professional court user wi-fi sites<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secure eMail vital to work of crime providers with nearly 80% signed up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50500"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50500"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50500\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50528,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50500\/revisions\/50528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
