CEII Certification
This process allows the requestor, once certified, to access the Secure Area of this web site and/or obtain certain CEII directly from the SERTP CEII Coordinator. Note that Base Cases and any underlying data are considered CEII and can only be obtained through this process. If the requestor desires access to both CEII and Confidential Non-CEII Information (or information that contains both types of information), certification from both processes is required.
