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.
