Connect with Internet2 at EDUCAUSE 2025

This interactive workshop will introduce participants to current privacy, security, and accessibility topics in the third-party risk management landscape. They will discuss core considerations relevant to reviewing and selecting third-party products and services best-suited for campus deployment.

Presenters will identify and discuss institutional stakeholders; provide examples of meaningful, productive security using HECVAT or other tools; privacy and institutional reviews with incorporated contractual considerations; and help you create new or streamlined processes. Institutional reviews may include vendor management, procurement, IT accessibility, legal, and many other aspects for campuses to prioritize.
