control, at officially approved access 

points. Veteran-owned small businesses 

will establish and maintain user-ids and 

passwords for accessing their corporate 

information under system control using

Technology, Washington, DC. Security 

for data in the VetBiz database complies 

with applicable statutes, regulations and 

government-wide and VA policies. The

the public data elements in the database 

does not lead to access to the non-public 

data elements, such as Veteran social 

security number.
