hi all - I wanted to follow-up on my earlier mail to provide an update. Thus far 100 different campuses have accessed ISORA-Lite. There are currently 8 completed vendor assessments available to the community — with another 20 in the pipeline. We’re already hearing from vendors that they are glad to have this as a way to cut down on their time devoted to answering related questions. With more campuses using this tool (or HECVAT, in general) we can quickly increase transparency and improve the collective leverage of EDUs. If you have an interest please checkout ISORA-Lite at: https://lite.isora.saltycloud.com/ and send any questions you might have to security () utexas edu. Thanks, ~cam.

This is created and operated by the UT Austin ISO and can be found at: https://lite.isora.saltycloud.com/ It is largely built off of our existing ISORA platform (https://security.utexas.edu/isora). It is also integrated with the InCommon federation for SSO and should just work for most campuses. For other campuses, we do provide some information on how to configure your campus IdP. // ISORA-Lite allows campuses to create and manage HECVAT & HECVAT-Lite assessments that can be assigned to vendors to complete (just share the custom link and let them do the work). Campuses also have the ability to share these results with the broader authenticated community to further reduce duplication of efforts and help to offer insights on vendors you might be considering. ISORA-Lite comes with some basic reporting today and we’ll be adding some additional reports as more assessments are completed. Please feel free to kick the tires, share any questions on this list or send to security () utexas edu. Thanks and we hope this helps! ~cam. -- Cam Beasley Chief Information Security Officer Information Security Office The University of Texas at Austin security () utexas edu http://security.utexas.edu ======================================= references: HECVAT (Higher Education Cloud Vendor Assessment Tool) https://library.educause.edu/resources/2016/10/higher-education-cloud-vendor-assessment-tool
