Request Your Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Tool

The Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Tool (HECVAT) was created by the Higher Education Information Security Council (HEISC) Shared Assessments Working Group, in collaboration with Internet2 and REN-ISAC.

The HECVAT tool is used to measure a 3rd party vendor’s compliance level to ensure that cybersecurity policies are in place to protect students/faculty/staff Personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive Institutional information.

HECVAT enables a consistent, easily-adopted methodology for Higher Ed organizations wishing to reduce costs through cloud services without increasing risks.
