We are talking about having cloud vendors fill out this assessment. I am wondering how are institutions using this document.

  * Are vendors requested to fill it out during the RFP stage or after
    selection?
  *  Is it used to help make the purchase decision? If so, how is it
    quantified or scored so that responses can be compared across vendors?
  * What if vendors say that information is proprietary and don't
    answer many of the questions?

Thank you for the input.
