(Even for a "private cloud".) Yes. Interfacing with the NCIC carries a number of requirements. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Crime_Information_Center In addition state CJIN (Criminal Justice Information Network) impose their requirements. Even our support people had to be vetted and finger printed before accessing a site. In theory I could look over their shoulder but couldn't access the sites myself. I carefully avoided the certification to maintain separation from the support tasks. The theory broke down when the support people brought back logs but we didn't talk about that. I'll admit I saw some juicy stuff. NCIC tried to respond to the implications of off-premises clouds. HIPAA also had an oar in the water. https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/index.html
