myVRS Navigator Security Reviews Underway

Annual security reviews for myVRS Navigator began in late June. By working as a team implementing role-based security, VRS and employers can make sure that myVRS Navigator users have the tools they need while protecting members’ privacy.

Security Administrators, who oversee and approve access to myVRS Navigator for their agencies, will receive a message from VRS outlining the procedures and timeline for conducting the annual security review. You can complete your review online in a matter of minutes.

When you log in to myVRS Navigator, step-by-step instructions on the Employer Security Review page will explain how to make any necessary changes and guide you through submitting changes directly in the system.
