Answer the same security questionnaire once
Larger customers increasingly send supplier questionnaires covering security, data protection, sustainability and insurance. They ask the same questions in slightly different words, and each one can eat a day.
Sound familiar?
- Supplier onboarding forms and security questionnaires keep arriving
- Answers are scattered across old emails, policies and spreadsheets
- Each questionnaire is answered from scratch
- Deals stall while you wait for someone to find the right answer
What we build
- A single library of your approved answers and supporting documents
- Draft answers to new questionnaires, each linked to its source
- Clear flags where you don't have an answer yet, rather than a guess
- A record of what you told which customer, and when
Where it fits
Security questionnaire automation starts with a single library of your approved answers: policies, insurance details, past questionnaire responses and certificates. When a new supplier questionnaire or due diligence questionnaire arrives, AI matches each question to the closest approved answer and drafts a response with its source attached.
Information security questionnaires for vendors often ask about recognised schemes such as Cyber Essentials. We don't certify anyone, but we make sure the answers you've already given are found and reused consistently, and that real gaps are flagged clearly rather than papered over.
What it can look like
A small supplier asked to complete security and data-protection questionnaires for new customers. Draft answers are produced from their existing policies, gaps are flagged, and a person signs off before anything is returned.

When it isn't an AI job
If you only receive a couple of questionnaires a year, a well-organised answer document may be enough. We'll say so.
What it costs
We don't publish prices, because every job is different. Before any build you get a one-page cost check for your security questionnaires: what it costs you now, what you'd save once your team is only checking the work, and what it would cost to run for the next 12 to 24 months, including if AI prices rise. If it doesn't pay back, we'll tell you not to build it.
How the cost check works →Questions we get asked
What is a security questionnaire?
It's a set of questions a customer sends a supplier to check how they protect data and systems: access control, backups, staff training, incident handling and so on. Larger customers often send one before they'll sign a contract.
Will AI make up answers we don't have?
No. If there isn't an approved answer, the question is flagged as a gap for a person to answer. Nothing is guessed.
Who signs off the answers?
You do. A person reviews every questionnaire before it goes back to the customer, and the system keeps a record of what was said to whom.
Is it worth it if we only get a few a year?
Possibly not. If questionnaires are rare, a well-organised answer document may be enough, and we'll tell you so.
