The 'Solution Description' question in the HECVAT (Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit) is asking you to provide a comprehensive overview of your product or service. This question serves as an introduction to your solution so that security assessors can understand what they're evaluating.
Country of Company Headquarters

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.
