Hi Barry,

The HEISC working group that creates the HECVAT updated the HECVAT and HECVAT-Lite to version 2.00 in October 2018, 
right before EDUCAUSE Annual. A 2.01 version that fixed a minor question error was released last week.

We presented a pre-conference and regular session about the HECVAT at EDUCAUSE Annual this year - be sure to check out 
the slides posted to conference site.

Take a look at the new tools and let us know what you think. The HECVAT is built for the community, by the community. 
Volunteer opportunities for the HEISC working group will begin early next year.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me or the group.

Charlie

Community,



    We have been using the HECVAT and HECVAT LITE for cloud service

vendors since they were made available.  These have been a great

resource for standardizing and improving the clock speed of the cloud

vendor assessment process but they are in need of some updating.   Is

there any community interest in revisiting these very useful documents?
