Security questionnaire automation, built on your evidence
Security questionnaires pull sales engineers off live deals for days of repetitive control lookup. Automation answers SIG, CAIQ, and VSA controls from your verified evidence — citation attached, human-approved — so security reviews clear in hours.
Why security questionnaires drain SE capacity
Hundreds of repetitive controls per review
Most controls were answered before, but matching each one to current evidence by hand takes days of expert time.
Evidence lives in too many places
SOC 2 reports, policies, and prior answers are scattered, so finding the right proof for each control is slow.
Answers must be defensible
A wrong or unsupported answer to a security team can sink a deal, so reviews demand careful expert verification.
Volume scales with pipeline
As deals grow, questionnaire load grows linearly — and it always lands on the same scarce specialists.
How security questionnaire automation works
AI drafts each control answer from a single source of security truth and cites the evidence, then routes uncertain items to a human — so reviews are fast and defensible.

Security questionnaire automation vs. the alternatives
Vendors clear security reviews one of three ways: manual evidence lookup, a GRC or response-library tool, or an AI sales engineer that answers from a single source of security truth. Here's how they differ on speed and defensibility.

Security questionnaire automation, answered
- What is security questionnaire automation?
- Security questionnaire automation drafts answers to SIG, CAIQ, VSA, and custom control questionnaires by mapping each control to your verified security evidence, attaching the citation, and routing uncertain items to a human reviewer — cutting turnaround from days to hours.
- How does it keep answers defensible?
- Every answer is drafted from your approved evidence — current SOC 2 reports, policies, and prior reviewed responses — with the source attached, and a security SME approves before it goes back to the buyer.
- Which questionnaire formats does it support?
- It handles standard formats like SIG, CAIQ, and VSA as well as custom control spreadsheets, and exports the completed questionnaire back in the requested format.
- Does this replace our security or SE team?
- No. It removes the repetitive control lookup so your specialists focus on the gray-area judgment and the architecture conversations that actually move security deals.
