Solution Name

Explanation

This question is asking for the name of the software solution or product being assessed in the HECVAT (Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit). The 'Solution Name' refers to the specific product, platform, service, or application that your organization is offering to the higher education institution. Why it's being asked: 1. Identification: It helps the assessment team clearly identify which specific product or service they are evaluating. 2. Documentation: It ensures all security documentation refers to the correct solution. 3. Scope definition: It establishes the boundaries of what is being assessed for security compliance. 4. Differentiation: Many vendors offer multiple products with different security profiles, so naming the specific solution is crucial. How to best answer it: Provide the full, official name of your solution as it would appear in marketing materials, contracts, and documentation. Be specific - don't just provide your company name. If your solution has multiple components or modules that are being assessed together, you should name the overall solution. If the solution has a version number that's relevant to the assessment, include that as well. This question seems simple but is foundational to the entire assessment process, as all other questions will be evaluated in the context of this specific solution.

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.
