Business continuity and wind-down commitments
If First Six itself cannot continue, institutions get written notice (default 90 days) and an export window before any deletion; in an acquisition, data transfers only under materially equivalent terms; and student data is never a saleable asset in insolvency. These are forward-looking commitments and a runbook skeleton, not machinery that has been exercised: a signed escrow agreement and a second named operator remain open.
Standards mappings
This control maps to the following standards and frameworks. Each entry states our real relationship with the standard, and the specific requirements this control helps satisfy.
HECVAT (Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit)Higher educationSelf-assessed
A full HECVAT answer pack is maintained and kept current for university procurement, deliberately honest about gaps (no SOC 2 or ISO attestation, no independent penetration test, PITR not enabled). It is a vendor self-assessment, not an externally validated response, backed by a full internal HECVAT-aligned self-audit.
- ExitVendor viability and data exit
ISO/IEC 27001:2022InfoSec complianceSelf-assessed
A full 93-control Annex A Statement of Applicability is maintained and honestly dispositioned, and the ISMS went live on 26 July 2026 with its first completed management review. Not certified: no external audit has occurred, the clause 9.2 internal audit is openly unmet, and the certification trigger (a named tender, funding, or first hire) was formally decided at the first management review.
- A.5.29Security during disruption
