The full story:

RFPs and IT security questionnaires are a great way to help customers understand your security, privacy, and compliance posture, but actually filling them out can eat up time and force some of your most valuable personnel to shift their focus away from your business priorities when you need them the most. Devoting countless hours to manually filling in answers to variations of the same questions over and over again is inefficient, at best, and mostly serves to slow down your team. On the other hand, by leveraging AI-driven automation utilizing Secureframe’s Questionnaire Automation, organizations can streamline the questionnaire process, improve data accuracy, and gain valuable insights into their security posture while saving time and money. 

An AI-Driven Solution

Secureframe’s Questionnaire Automation is an AI-powered solution that makes it fast and easy to respond to security questionnaires and RFPs and demonstrate your organization’s security posture. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits below:

Greater Efficiency

Manually responding to IT questionnaires can take time and needs specialized knowledge from subject matter experts across the organization. Secureframe’s Questionnaire Automation tool via Trust AI can read from policies, tests, controls, and has a knowledge base hosted on the Secureframe Comply platform to generate answers that are specific to your business. This helps customers save time by reducing the manual work of finding answers to security questions, allowing the individuals involved in the questionnaire process to focus on other business priorities.

Trust AI can rephrase answers during the answer verification process, drawing from the context hosted in the Knowledge Base to answer specific questions. This maintains consistency and relevance across various questionnaires, especially when similar questions are phrased slightly differently. Since many of these auto-generated answers are ready to send back as is or only need slight edits before marking as complete, using Secureframe to fill out questionnaires offers much greater efficiency than doing so manually or using tools that are disconnected from your GRC tooling.

More Accurate

Human error is inevitable, even when it comes to mission-critical tasks. Secureframe’s Questionnaire Automation can significantly reduce human error in completing IT questionnaires and help prevent mistakes before they are made. In addition to catching mistakes, users can train Secureframe’s Questionnaire Automation using historical questionnaire data to help improve the overall accuracy and relevance of generated responses. Secureframe can analyze data with precision, ensuring that responses are consistent and reliable, thus enhancing the overall accuracy of questionnaire results.

Scalability

Secureframe seamlessly integrates with existing IT systems and can handle up to a high volume of questionnaires simultaneously without compromising the quality of responses. This scalability is particularly beneficial for organizations dealing with numerous questionnaires or those experiencing peak periods of increased demand.

Cost-Effectiveness

Depending on volume, some organizations have a person either dedicated to completing these questionnaires or at a minimum requiring a significant amount of their time each year to complete the questionnaires manually. Assuming it takes a person at least half of their time to complete these questionnaires, employing Secureframe’s Questionnaire Automation can save as much as 1,000 hours and up to $100,000 per year.

Unquestionable Value

Organizations that deal with RFPs and IT security questionnaires – especially at high volumes – will find significant value from Secureframe’s Questionnaire Automation. Leveraging the solution for completing IT questionnaires can save time and money, streamline processes, improve accuracy, and provide valuable insights, ultimately enhancing IT governance and risk management practices.
