Hi, We just started using the HECVAT around the first of this year. We have found that it has made assessments much easier and consistent. So far most vendors have heard of it already and filled one out before.

We ask vendors to supply it when we are evaluating whether or not their product meets our information security requirements. Several years ago we would get responses like, "Huh? What's that?" But now we never need to explain what it is any more. They can Google it if they need to figure it out. My experience is that many vendors already have one filled out & ready to send you if you ask for it.

Something that we are working toward. If there is a HECVAT for Grammerly, it would probably go a long way to prove or disprove its usage.

I have seen where there have been issues in the past with data security but they do not seem to be re-occurring. The question has been raised about password security and disclosure of other sensitive info. Grammerly's terms of service and privacy statements put the security of this information in the users hands. While I do not want to be the bad guy (but I will if I need to be), I also do not want to make this decision in my own private bubble. I would greatly appreciate the communities input on this subject.
