About this file

The file is a Vendor Security Assessment Questionnaire (HECVAT Lite) from Denver Water, designed to comprehensively evaluate a potential vendor's cybersecurity practices and information security controls. The document is a detailed Excel spreadsheet that covers multiple security domains including company overview, documentation, authentication, data protection, networking, incident response, and third-party management. While not directly related to a specific procurement, the questionnaire serves as a critical tool for assessing vendor security posture, with questions spanning areas such as access controls, encryption practices, incident response capabilities, physical security, and compliance with various security standards like NIST, HIPAA, and ISO 27002.

The questionnaire is structured to provide granular insights into a vendor's security program, with each section containing multiple questions that probe the depth and maturity of security practices. Vendors are expected to provide detailed responses about their systems' capabilities, including single sign-on support, data encryption methods, backup procedures, network segmentation, vulnerability scanning, and third-party risk management. The assessment appears to be part of a standardized approach used by higher education institutions and government entities to evaluate potential technology vendors, with scoring mechanisms that help organizations understand and quantify the security risks associated with adopting a particular solution or service.
