The Corps deploys volunteers to assist clients affected by cybersecurity incidents. Volunteers must undergo a background check and provide written consent to participate. VITA determines the eligibility of volunteers and advisors, who are not considered employees or agents of the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth and VITA are immune from tort liability for actions of volunteers and advisors, except in cases of gross negligence.
