VAERESOURCE is a service-disabled veteran- and woman-owned small business. Responsibility is not a separate program for us; it is how a lean, principal-led firm chooses to operate, hire, and build.
Remote-first and digital-only by design: no commuting, no leased-office energy, paperless deliverables. We host on cloud providers with carbon-neutral and renewable-energy commitments and dispose of IT equipment responsibly.
A veteran- and woman-owned business (SDVOSB, VOSB, WOSB) that gives hiring, mentorship, and subcontracting preference to veterans and diverse small businesses, and engages only partners who meet all wage, equal-opportunity, and anti-discrimination requirements.
We operate under a written code of business conduct: honesty in every proposal, no fabricated claims or credentials, careful stewardship of client data, and full compliance with the socioeconomic and contracting rules we certify to.
The technology we build is fail-closed and auditable, aligned to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, with bias testing, human oversight, and a replayable record of every consequential decision. We hold our own tools to that bar.
Security by design: NIST SP 800-171 practices, least-privilege access, and genuine privacy protection for the people behind the data. We are CMMC-aligned and self-assessed in SPRS.
We build public-facing tools to WCAG 2.1 AA so they work for everyone, including older adults and people with disabilities, with multilingual support where a community needs it.
Rooted in San Diego's veteran and small-business community: knowledge-sharing and mentorship with fellow veteran entrepreneurs, with an intent to formalize support for local STEM and veteran initiatives as we grow.
Ownership sits with the founder, and our practices are written into our code of business conduct rather than left implied. As the firm grows, we will formalize measurement and reporting instead of expanding the promises alone.
