ACCESS TO GCIC SYSTEMS Why so many user IDs and passwords? Access to criminal history record information is restricted and confidential. All GCIC programs are housed and protected behind a SSL/VPN. First, you must gain access to the SSL/VPN then the programs within.
The SSL/VPN Think of the SSL/VPN as a bank vault and GCIC programs as the drawers inside. Even if you get in the vault, you still need to get into the drawers! CCH UCR POR The SSL/VPN User ID and Password allows access to GCIC systems through the firewall (the vault). Once inside you still need a separate User ID and Password TO ACCESS each program (the drawers)
Georgia Technology Authority (GTA) https://sslx.gta.ga.gov The Vault!
GETS (SSL/VPN) Monthly user fee charged by GTA Requested through email Issued by GTA TACs must maintain a list of all SSL/VPN User IDs Password must be changed every 42 days
