VENDOR SECURITY QUESTIONNAIRES

Hand off the security questionnaire. Get it back done.

SIG, SIG Lite, CAIQ, SOC 2 evidence requests, ISO 27001, HIPAA, cyber-insurance — dense documents that stall deals. Send the questionnaire; we run a fast, structured engagement, ask for exactly the evidence each answer needs, and hand back truthful, cited responses in about three days plus a reusable answer library you keep.

How the offload works

The offload in three moves.

You hand off the document; we do the work. Typical turnaround on a SIG-shaped document: about 3 days. Shorter CAIQ Lite documents and cyber-insurance forms move faster.

01

Structured intake — not a doc dump

A 20-minute scoping call sets the framework, the deadline, and the deal context. From there we ask for evidence one question at a time — a specific policy revision date, a configuration export, a five-minute engineer confirmation — only what each answer actually requires. You don't ship a documentation library; you respond to targeted asks as we work.

Deliverables:

  • 20-minute scoping call to align on framework, deadline, and known gaps
  • Per-question evidence requests — surgical, not a scavenger hunt
  • Gap map within the first business day: what's answerable today, what needs a same-day confirmation, what's a real gap
02

Build the answer strategy

We decide how each answer is framed — truthful, defensible, and deal-advancing. The language is precise, not evasive: a CISO on the receiving side should respect it, not pattern-match it as marketing.

Deliverables:

  • Each answer framed to be truthful and to survive the buyer's security review
  • Citations to your real policies, audits, runbooks, or vendor attestations
  • Honest flags where 'in progress' or 'not yet' is the truthful answer, with the compensating control stated
03

Deliver the completed questionnaire

You get it back done, in the buyer's format, ready to send — plus a reusable answer library you keep, so the next questionnaire starts mostly answered.

Deliverables:

  • Completed questionnaire in the requester's format (Excel, PDF form, online portal)
  • A reusable answer library you keep — version-controlled, yours forever
  • Prioritised gap list with cost-to-build estimates, and optional follow-up to close the top gaps

What we need

A short handoff — not a second job.

You send us

  • The questionnaire itself, in whatever format the buyer sent.
  • A 20-minute scoping call — the deal, the deadline, the framework, and where you think the real gaps are.
  • Per-question follow-ups when an answer needs one specific artifact (a policy revision date, a configuration export, a five-minute engineer confirmation). We ask for the one thing; you don't send a documentation library.

You do NOT

  • Chase answers across engineering, legal, and ops.
  • Learn what a SIG or CAIQ control actually means.
  • Start from a blank spreadsheet.
  • Write a single answer yourself.

Why it holds up

Built to pass the buyer's security review.

We answer to what you actually do, cite your controls, and frame each answer to be defensible under follow-up. We will not invent controls you do not have, sign as your compliance officer, or guarantee a deal outcome — the questionnaire is one signal in a procurement process we do not control. That honesty is exactly why the answers survive the buyer's security team.

If a question has no truthful "yes" answer, the right response is "no — here is our roadmap, here is the compensating control we run today, here is what we would need to add it." That is the answer we will write. A CISO on the receiving side would rather read a defensible "no" than a hopeful "yes" that falls apart in the follow-up call.

Sent in a format we haven't named? Send it anyway. The questions repeat across templates; the spreadsheet is the part that changes.

What you get

Five deliverables. One questionnaire off your desk.

  • A completed questionnaire that a CISO on the receiving side would respect.
  • A reusable answer library you keep forever — the same questions don't cost you twice.
  • A prioritised gap list of the controls you do not yet have, with cost-to-build estimates.
  • An honest assessment of which deals this questionnaire was a fit for and which it was not.
  • Optional follow-up to close the top gaps before the next request arrives.

FAQ

Common questions.

How fast can you answer a SIG questionnaire?

A typical SIG Lite turns around in about 3 business days for $399 flat — that includes the scoping session where we map the controls you actually run. CAIQ Lite, SOC 2 evidence requests, and cyber-insurance forms usually move faster.

Can I outsource a vendor security questionnaire?

Yes — that is exactly what this service is. Send the questionnaire, the deadline, and a sentence about the deal. We run a structured engagement: 20-minute scoping call, per-question evidence requests as we work, and truthful cited answers back in about three days plus a reusable answer library you keep. You don't ship a documentation library — we ask for the specific artifact each answer needs.

Do you invent controls to pass the review?

No. We answer to what you actually do, cite your controls, and flag real gaps before you commit anything to writing. A defensible “no” beats a hopeful “yes.” If you don't yet HAVE the controls to cite — the questionnaire is the symptom and the real problem is no formal security programme — that's our Rapid Compliance programme at /rapid-compliance/: build the controls + run the audit, not just answer the questionnaire.

What does it cost?

One flat price: $399, payable online by card with no vendor onboarding or procurement cycle (it sits under typical corporate-card no-approval limits). The price is all-in: a scoping working session where we map the controls you actually have in place, the completed questionnaire in the buyer's format, a prioritised gap list with recommendations, and the reusable answer library you keep. Larger SIG Core / SIG Plus / multi-framework engagements are quoted from the document itself — email us the questionnaire and your deadline and we send scope and a fixed price within one business day.
