Solution Provider Name

Explanation

This question is asking for the official name of your company or organization that is providing the solution being assessed. The Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit (HECVAT) uses this information to identify who is being assessed and to maintain accurate records. Why it's important in a security assessment: 1. It establishes the legal entity responsible for the solution and its security practices 2. It allows the assessor to verify your company against public records and other documentation 3. It serves as a reference point for the entire assessment 4. It helps in tracking compliance history and maintaining documentation How to best answer it: Provide your company's full, legal business name as it appears in official documentation. Do not use abbreviations unless they are part of your legal name. If your company operates under multiple names or has a DBA (Doing Business As) name, you should provide the primary legal entity name and can optionally note the DBA name in parentheses. This seems like a simple question, but accuracy matters for legal and compliance purposes. The name you provide should match what appears on contracts, terms of service, and other legal documents.

General Information

ResponseHub is the product I wish I had when I was a CTO

Previously I was co-founder and CTO of Progression, a VC backed HR-tech startup used by some of the biggest names in tech.

As our sales grew, security questionnaires quickly became one of my biggest pain-points. They were confusing, hard to delegate and arrived like London busses - 3 at a time!

I'm building ResponseHub so that other teams don't have to go through this. Leave the security questionnaires to us so you can get back to closing deals, shipping product and building your team.
