Security questionnaire answers
Draft answers to customer security and compliance questionnaires from your approved policies and past answers, so the security owner reviews a filled draft instead of starting each questionnaire from a blank spreadsheet.
Where it starts
The trigger.
A prospect or customer sends a security, privacy or vendor questionnaire.
How it runs today
- Each questionnaire is answered from scratch or copied from an old one.
- Answers drift out of date as policies and systems change.
- Deals wait while the one person who knows the answers catches up.
The workflow
Four bounded steps.
Each step has an owner and a stop rule.
- 01 / Collect
Read the questionnaire and the approved library of policies and past answers.
- 02 / Draft
Match each question to an approved answer and draft a response that cites its source.
- 03 / Flag
Mark questions with no approved answer, or where the answer may have changed, for the owner.
- 04 / Approve
The security owner edits and approves every answer before it is sent, and new answers go back into the library.
Where people stay in control
Approval points.
- The security owner approves every answer before the questionnaire is returned.
- Answers are drawn only from approved policies and past answers, never guessed.
How we would measure it
Against a baseline.
Measured before and after, on the same work.
Time from questionnaire received to answers returned.
Share of answers drafted from the approved library.
Questions flagged as new or out of date per questionnaire.
