GNRL-02
Solution Name
Explanation
This question is asking for the name of the software solution, product, or service being assessed in the HECVAT (Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit). Why it's asked: The solution name serves as a clear identifier for the product being evaluated throughout the security assessment. It helps the assessment team track which specific product or service they're evaluating, especially when a vendor might offer multiple solutions. This name will be referenced throughout the assessment and in any resulting documentation. How to answer: Provide the full, official name of your solution as it would appear in marketing materials, contracts, or documentation. Be specific and avoid acronyms unless they are part of the official name. If your solution is part of a larger product suite, you may want to specify both the suite name and the specific component being assessed. For example, rather than just saying "Cloud Storage," you should provide the complete product name like "SecureCloud Enterprise Storage Platform."
