How do you clear security questionnaires without stalling the deal?

An AI Employee connected to your inbound questionnaires and a vetted knowledge base. It parses each question, drafts the response in the vendor's own format, and flags anything it isn't sure about, then security reviews before a single answer reaches a prospect.

Problem

Security questionnaires interrupt sales cycles with the same repetitive questions about encryption, access controls, and policies. The answers almost always exist already, but each questionnaire arrives in a different format. A SIG spreadsheet, a CAIQ workbook, a prospect's own custom template: each one has to be read, matched against what the organization has already said a dozen times, and reformatted by hand for that specific vendor. That work is slow, low value, and lands on the people least able to spare the time, usually a security lead pulled off real work to retype answers they've written before. A generic AI writer pointed at 'fill this in' doesn't fix it either: with no grounding in the organization's vetted, approved answers, it fabricates plausible sounding claims that no one can stand behind in a security review, which is exactly where that approach has to stop.

What it does

Your inbound questionnaires are connected to an AI Employee with scoped access to a vetted knowledge base of approved answers and policies. Each questionnaire is worked in its own run inside your own infrastructure: it parses the questions, matches them to approved responses, and drafts answers in the questionnaire's original format. Anything it can't answer with confidence is flagged, and nothing is sent. Security reviews every draft before it reaches a prospect.

How it works

See exactly how the work gets done.

Triggers on each questionnaire

A new inbound questionnaire starts a fresh, isolated run. One questionnaire, one run. A busy pipeline simply means more running in parallel.

Carries your vetted answers

The organization's approved answers, policies, and past responses travel with the AI Employee as skills and memory, so every draft is grounded in what security has already signed off on, never invented.

Parses and matches to approved responses, with permissions you set

It reads each question, matches it to the closest approved answer in the knowledge base, and drafts in the questionnaire's original format: SIG, CAIQ, or a prospect's custom spreadsheet. It connects with permissions you set; credentials stay in memory, never written to disk, never exposed to the model.

Flags what it can't stand behind

Questions with no confident match are flagged for a person rather than answered with a guess, so a reviewer's attention goes straight to the handful that actually need judgment.

Drafts only; a named human signs off

The AI Employee drafts and formats; it never sends. Security reviews the completed draft, edits the flagged items, and decides what reaches the prospect.

Guardrails

Runs in your environment

Each questionnaire is worked in isolation inside your own infrastructure; your data never leaves it. Only the draft it produces is handed to a reviewer.

Permissions you set

Knowledge base access is read only. Credentials stay in memory, injected at run time, never written to disk, never exposed to the model or the logs.

A named human signs off before anything is sent

The AI Employee drafts only. Every response pauses for security to review and approve before it reaches a prospect.

Answers sourced only from vetted knowledge

Every drafted answer comes from the approved knowledge base, and low confidence questions are flagged rather than guessed, so each response traces back to something the organization already stands behind.

You own it

The AI Employee's rules, skills, and permissions are yours, versioned and changed on your terms, not in a vendor dashboard.

The outcome

The security questionnaires that used to stall a deal while someone retyped answers they'd written a dozen times now arrive as formatted drafts, sourced only from vetted knowledge, with the uncertain questions already flagged. Security spends its time on the answers that need judgment, and every response still waits for a person before it's sent.
