Secure
Rocket Vetting is built with layered technical and operational safeguards designed for regulated environments.
All transfers use secure SFTP with key-based authentication and encryption in transit. After reentry retrieves results from the outbox, inbound files are purged. Only minimal encrypted audit logs and processing metadata are retained for security, compliance, and billing purposes.
Yes. Rocket Vetting undergoes periodic third-party attestation covering operational controls and data handling practices.
Each match returns your roster identifier, SSN, name/date-of-birth, date of death, SSA verification of death method, issuing state (when available), and a quality-of-match indicator (SSN, DOB and Full Name, Name with Middle Initial, or Name with no Middle Name or Initial). When available, Cemetery and Obituary related data is included.
No. Rocket Vetting is an identification service. We compare your roster against the SSA Limited Access Death Master File (LADMF) and return potential matches with supporting metadata. Investigation, adjudication, and downstream decisions remain the responsibility of the Customer. External investigative organizations may be engaged when additional validation is required.
Private
Customer data is used solely for identification and is not mined, resold, or profiled.
Inbound roster files are purged after successful result retrieval. Rocket Vetting retains only minimal audit logs and encrypted processing metadata necessary for compliance, billing, and security.
No SSNs are included in output files. Data retention is minimized in accordance with compliance and operational requirements.
No. The Service is licensed for processing data belonging to the Customer. It may not be used as a service bureau or third-party processing platform without written authorization.
Timely
Continuous processing ensures identification happens when it matters—not on a delayed batch cycle.
Rocket Vetting operates continuously, 24×7. Records are processed automatically upon receipt rather than waiting for a scheduled batch window. Results are typically returned within minutes, enabling near real-time identification.
New roster members and records marked as high-priority—such as time-sensitive updates or special requests—are processed immediately. Because the platform runs continuously, priority records are typically vetted within minutes.
Many legacy systems rely on periodic batch processing or fixed schedules. Rocket Vetting processes records as they are received, reducing operational lag and eliminating dependency on monthly or scheduled cycles.
New and high-priority records are processed first. Remaining records follow a queue based on confidence and arrival time. This ensures urgent submissions are not delayed behind older batches.
Autonomous
The platform is designed to operate continuously with built-in continuity controls.
No. Rocket Vetting operates autonomously 24×7. Files are received, verified, and results delivered without manual intervention.
If the plan term ends or the included query allowance is reached, processing pauses until a new plan becomes active. Enabling Auto-Renew helps prevent interruption.
Auto-Renew protects continuity of operations. When enabled, your next subscription term activates automatically at renewal, preventing service interruption. You may adjust the upcoming plan tier or billing cycle in advance so coverage aligns with anticipated workload.
Yes. You may modify your upcoming subscription term while the current plan is active. Upgrades may take effect immediately, while downgrades typically take effect at renewal.
