Solution Name
Explanation
Identify the name of the software solution, product, or service being assessed in this security review. In the HECVAT (Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit), this is a basic identification question that helps establish which specific offering is being evaluated.
Why it's important:
- It clearly identifies the scope of the assessment - which specific product or service is being evaluated
- It helps differentiate between multiple offerings from the same vendor
- It establishes a reference point for all subsequent questions in the assessment
- It ensures all parties are aligned on exactly what is being assessed
The answer should be straightforward - provide the official, marketed name of your solution. If your company offers multiple products or services, be specific about which one(s) this assessment covers. If the solution has different editions or deployment models (like cloud vs. on-premises), you may want to specify this as well if it affects the security posture.
