Vendor Assessment (HECVAT)

Written by Alexandra Craciun

The Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit (HECVAT) is a standardized security and privacy assessment framework designed to help higher education institutions evaluate the cybersecurity, privacy, and technology practices of third-party service providers.

Showbie maintains a completed HECVAT 4.1.6 assessment, providing detailed information about our security, privacy, data protection, and technology practices and controls.

HECVAT Assessment Results

Our current HECVAT 4.1.6 assessment results are:

  • Institution Evaluation: 89%

  • High-Risk / Critical Importance (Lite) Evaluation: 92%

  • Privacy Analyst Evaluation: 83%

These scores are generated by the HECVAT workbook based on our responses and its standard evaluation criteria. Individual institutions may conduct their own assessment and evaluate specific controls according to their security, privacy, and risk requirements.
