Save time and effort with the Community Broker Index (CBI). The CBI enables higher education security assessors to easily research and evaluate the security offerings of current and prospective service providers. The index is a consistently updated list of vendors willing to shared completed HECVAT assessments, including a secondary list of vendors who have incorporated HECVAT into their cloud, third party, or vendor risk management tool or services.
The HECVAT and CBI were created by the Higher Education Information Security Council (HEISC) Shared Assessments Working Group, in collaboration with Internet2 and REN-ISAC.
Want your company added to the index? Want to suggest a vendor to add to the index? Please email the REN-ISAC HECVAT liaison with the vendor and product name and contact information.
