Re: HECVAT Users List

[Josh Callahan <josh.callahan () HUMBOLDT EDU>]

 Here in the CSU we are working to build a consistent process around
security reviews of vendors and contracts across our campuses.  We are
adopting the HECVAT as the standard document we will be asking for from all
vendors for many of the same reasons that have been listed here.  We went
with the full rather than the lite version, because we are only using this
process for vendors who are storing or processing our protected data and
there are questions in the full versions we need answered to assess the
risk.

Additionally, David Zeichick, a member of our team from Chico has been
working on a scoring tool that will take all of the yes/no answers from the
HECVAT which we've prioritized as high risk and generate a common score
report that we can then share across to other campuses in our system.   We
are willing to share that tool back to the group if others find it
helpful.
