17. OMB: VA may disclose 

information to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for the 

performance of its statutory 

responsibilities for evaluating Federal 

programs. 

18. Nonprofits, for Release of Names 

and Addresses (RONA): VA may 

disclose the name(s) and address(es) of 

present or former members of the armed 

services or their beneficiaries: (1) to a 

nonprofit organization if the release is 

directly connected with the conduct of 

programs and the utilization of benefits 

under Title 38, and (2) to any criminal 

or civil law enforcement governmental 

agency or instrumentality charged under 

applicable law with the protection of 

the public health or safety, if a qualified 

representative of such organization, 

agency, or instrumentality has made a 

written request that such names or 

addresses be provided for a purpose 

authorized by law; provided that the 

records will not be used for any purpose 

other than that stated in the request and 

that organization, agency, or 

instrumentality is aware of the penalty 

provision of 38 U.S.C. 5701(f). 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

The VA Profile system will utilize 

both Government and Commercial Offthe Shelf (GOTS) and (COTS) platforms 

that will be hosted initially at the VA 

Austin Information Technology Center 

in Austin, TX. The platform will be 

Trusted internet Connection (TIC) 

certified and Federal Risk and 

Authorization Management Program 

(FedRAMP) certified and meet all 

requirements for Federal Information 

Security Management Act of 2002 

(FISMA) Moderate compliance. Hosting 

transitioned to a FedRAMP certified VA 

Government Cloud (GovCloud) site in 

early Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2020 

and meets all requirements for Federal 

Information Security Management Act 

of 2002 (FISMA) High compliance. 

Records will be maintained at an OI&T 

approved VA sponsored data warehouse 

location via secured cloud storage. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

Records may be retrieved by assigned 

identifiers, such as an internal entry 

number of a partner system that 

maintains information on the 

individuals. Only those with assigned 

rights, as defined in their SSO login, 

will have access to records at a specific 

record level. Aggregated, nonattributional data will be retrieved via 

geolocation and provided to 

management at those locations. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

VA Profile records are maintained and 

disposed of in accordance with records 

disposition authority approved by the 

Archivist of the United States. The 

records are disposed of in accordance 

with General Records Schedule 20, item 

4. Item 4 provides for deletion of data 

files when the agency determines that 

the files are no longer needed for 

administrative, legal, audit, or other 

operational purposes. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

Access to and use of national 

administrative databases, warehouses, 

data marts and cloud storage sites are 

limited to those persons whose official 

duties require such access, and the VA 

has established security procedures to 

ensure that access is appropriately 

limited. Information security officers 

and system data stewards review and 

authorize data access requests. VA 

regulates data access with security 

software that authenticates users and 

requires individually unique codes and 

passwords. VA provides information 

security training to all staff and instructs 

staff on the responsibility each person 

has for safeguarding data 

confidentiality. 

VA maintains Business Associate 

Agreements and Non-Disclosure 

Agreements with contracted resources 

to maintain confidentiality of the 

information. 

Physical access to computer rooms 

housing national administrative 

databases, warehouses, and data marts 

is restricted to authorized staff and 

protected by a variety of security 

devices. Unauthorized employees, 

contractors, and other staff are not 

allowed in computer rooms. The 

Federal Protective Service or other 

security personnel provide physical 

security for the buildings housing 

computer rooms and data centers. 

Data transmissions between 

operational systems and national 

administrative databases, warehouses, 

and data marts maintained by this 

system of record are protected by stateof-the-art telecommunication software 

and hardware. This may include 

firewalls, intrusion detection devices, 

encryption, and other security measures 

necessary to safeguard data as it travels 

across the VA Wide Area Network. 

In most cases, copies of back-up 

computer files are maintained at off-site 

locations. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

An individual (or duly authorized 

representative of such individual) who 

seeks access to or wishes to contest 

records maintained under his or her 

name or other personal identifier may 

write or call the individual listed under 

Notification Procedure below. 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

See Notification Procedure below. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

Individuals seeking information 

regarding access to and contesting of
