Security questionnaires and trust centers
Larger customers ask for a security questionnaire before they sign. Each one has hundreds of questions, many repeat, and the answers must match what the company really does. Without a shared answer library, sales waits on engineering and answers drift from one reply to the next.
What we do
- Answer library design
- Questionnaire response
- Trust center setup
- Control evidence mapping
- Review scheduling
- Sales and security handoff
Our team works with Vanta, Conveyor and Whistic, and has experience with trust center pages that give customers policies and reports under a nondisclosure agreement. We build one reviewed answer library, map it to common formats such as SIG and the Cloud Security Alliance CAIQ, and set an owner and review date for every answer.
This group links to our Cybersecurity practice and to the vendor risk and compliance automation groups. A questionnaire answer is a statement the company stands behind, so we only record controls that are in place. These are tools our team has experience with, not partnerships.

Send us a messageWhy build an answer library instead of answering each questionnaire fresh?
Most questionnaires repeat the same questions. One reviewed library gives sales a consistent answer, shows engineering one place to update, and keeps replies from drifting apart between customers.
Can you fill in answers for controls we do not have?
No. A questionnaire answer is a statement your company stands behind, and customers can rely on it in a contract. We record only controls that are in place, and mark gaps and plans honestly.
What is a trust center?
A trust center is a web page where customers can read your security policies and, often after signing a nondisclosure agreement, request reports. It saves repeat emails and shows the same current documents to every customer.
Does a trust center replace a SOC 2 report or other audit?
No. It is a place to share your documents, not evidence in itself. What customers accept as proof is their own decision, so ask them what they require, and check with counsel before sharing contract terms.
