Re: HECVAT Users List

[Mark Dieterich <mkd () BROWN EDU>]

At a high level our process is roughly:

* Have the Brown business owner answer a handful of questions, including
supplying a functional description of the system, including all data that
will be stored.

* Based on the classification of the data stored in the system and the
integrations with other Brown systems, it falls into one of three levels:
I) we ask some basic questions of the vendor, II) the vendor is asked to
fill out the HECVAT lite, III) the vendor is asked to fill out the full
HECVAT. The majority of the vendors who fall into the full HECVAT camp
either have a SOC 2 or are working on a SOC 2, to give you some sense of
what level of information would send us to a full HECVAT.
