The problem it solves

Every new customer security questionnaire means someone on your team hunting through old answers, copying evidence links, and retyping the same responses. It eats days that should go to real security work, and answers can drift out of date or become inconsistent across customers.

Who it fits

Compliance, security, and sales engineering teams that respond to customer security reviews.

How it works

  1. When a new questionnaire is added, the system reads every question
  2. Each question is matched against your library of approved answers and evidence
  3. Answers and supporting document links are filled into a clean review sheet
  4. A reviewer is emailed a link to check and approve the draft
  5. You get a ready-to-send questionnaire response with an audit trail
What you get

Questionnaire answers drafted and ready to review

You get security questionnaire answers drafted from your approved library, with links and an audit trail ready for a reviewer.

What you get

A completed draft questionnaire spreadsheet with answers, evidence links, and reviewer status, ready to send to the customer.

What you need

A Google Workspace account (Sheets and Drive) and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
