Applying for an ACE Secure Data Portal Account

To access the ACE Secure Data Portal (ACE Portal) a company must have an ACE Secure Data Portal Account. Instructions on how companies may apply for an account are below.

Account Tip: DO NOT associate your client's corporate identifier to your ACE Portal Account structure. This will prevent the client company from establishing their own ACE Portal Account.

 

If you are applying for an ACE Portal Account, confirm your company does not already have an account. Your Account Owner or their proxies are able to establish individual user profiles within the account to allow access to the ACE Portal. If you are unsure who your Account Owner is, you may Contact ACE Support for details.

If you are a member of a Partner Government Agency (PGA) and need access to the ACE Portal as a PGA user, please visit our PGA user application page.

Before applying you should check to see if your company already has an ACE Portal Account. Applying for a separate Account is not necessary and discouraged.
