application integrates the information in SPOT-ES to provide trend 
analysis, widgets and reports from different views based on the user 
access level and parameters selected to support DoD, DOS, USAID, other 
Federal agencies, and Combatant Commanders requirements.

(primarily held by military, Government civilians and contractors) at 
key decentralized locations, such as dining facilities, billeting, 
central issue facilities and aerial ports of debarkation. Also used as 
a management tool for statistical, tracking, reporting, evaluating

procedures. Physical and electronic access is restricted to designated 
individuals having a need-to-know in the performance of official 
duties. Access to personal information is further restricted by the use 
of Public Key Infrastructure or login/password authorization. 
Information is accessible only by authorized personnel with appropriate 
clearance/access in the performance of their duties. Once access is 
gained, the system is set with an automatic timeout period to reduce

official duties. Access to personal information is further restricted 
by the use of login/password authorization. Computers running the JAMMS 
software are located on Government installations where physical entry 
is restricted to authorized personnel. Each machine is physically 
secured with a combination lock and cable. While the computer is 
active, the view screen is oriented away from the cardholder, and 
access is controlled by an attendant on duty. While the data is at rest 
and when data is transferred to SPOT-ES, the records are encrypted.
