Test your compliance with HECVAT (Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit) v4.10
A safety standard for higher education and beyond
HECVAT is a standardized questionnaire originally designed for higher education institutions to assess the security and confidentiality of cloud and IT providers.
Today, it is used well beyond the academic sector, particularly by organizations seeking a clear, comprehensive and consistent assessment of their suppliers.
What is HECVAT used for?
-
Evaluate your suppliers: check that they comply with security and confidentiality requirements.
-
Harmonize audits: a single questionnaire avoids duplication and simplifies comparison between suppliers.
-
Speed up purchasing processes: by adopting a recognized format, you reduce repetitive exchanges with security teams.
-
Anticipate your own evaluations: by testing your documents against HECVAT, you know where you stand before your customers challenge you.
