About HECVAT
HECVAT attempts to generalize higher education information security and data protection questions and issues regarding cloud services for consistency and ease of use.
HELPS HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS ensure that cloud services are appropriately assessed for security and privacy needs, including some that are unique to higher education
ALLOWS A CONSISTENT, EASILY-ADOPTED METHODOLOGY for campuses wishing to reduce costs through cloud services without increasing risks
REDUCES THE BURDEN that cloud service providers face in responding to requests for security assessments from higher education institutions
THE PROBLEM:
The George Washington University was managing their vendor risk assessment process manually through Word documents and email. The client needed a more scalable process that kept all security assessment data in one place, reduced complexity, and reduced the time required to complete an assessment.
