Answering a security questionnaire from an enterprise customer takes 4–8 hours — most of it copy-pasting your own old answers out of email threads and last quarter's spreadsheet. VendorAuditly's Answer Bank uploads the questionnaire, drafts every answer from your own history and evidence, and gets faster with every questionnaire you complete. You review and approve every word before anything leaves your screen.
Most "security questionnaire software" is built for one side of the relationship. VendorAuditly is one of the only platforms built for both — as two clearly separate tools, not one confused feature.
If you're sending questionnaires to the vendors you use — SaaS tools, IT suppliers, contractors — that's VendorAuditly's core security questionnaire software: adaptive question sets, auto-chase, AI response review, and risk scoring.
If a bigger customer just emailed you a 60-question security questionnaire and you have to answer it, this is the tool. The Answer Bank drafts your responses from your own history and evidence, and every accepted answer makes the next questionnaire faster.
Both tools live in the same VendorAuditly account at the same $49/month price — because most growing companies are both: you assess the vendors you rely on, and you get assessed by the bigger customers relying on you. No enterprise TPRM platform bundles both directions. Most responder-only tools (SecurityPal, Loopio, Conveyor) don't do the sender side at all, and cost enterprise prices for what they do offer.
No new questionnaire format to learn. Upload the exact PDF or spreadsheet your customer sent you.
Drop in the PDF or XLSX file exactly as your customer sent it. VendorAuditly extracts every distinct question automatically — including multi-part questions buried inside a single cell or paragraph — no manual re-typing, no reformatting.
For each question, the Answer Bank searches your own growing answer history plus any supporting evidence you've uploaded — SOC 2 report, ISO 27001 certificate, security policies — and drafts a response. Every draft comes with a confidence score and a citation showing exactly where the answer came from.
Nothing is pre-approved. Every question shows its draft answer, confidence score, and source. You accept it as-is, edit the wording, or skip it and answer manually — question by question, at your own pace, with progress saved as you go.
Download the finished, reviewed answer set as a clean PDF or as XLSX — whichever format your customer's procurement team expects back. Only the answers you approved are included; drafts you skipped never appear in the export.
A saved Word template answers the same 15 questions every questionnaire asks. The Answer Bank grows every time you use it, so later questionnaires — even from a completely different customer — need less manual work than the first one.
Empty answer bank — almost everything is "not found," so you're answering from scratch. Every answer you accept gets saved.
Most of the recurring, boilerplate security questions — MFA, encryption, incident response, backups — now draft at high confidence automatically. You're reviewing, not writing.
This is why VendorAuditly's version of this feature is bank-based, not template-based: answers stay tied to the specific question they answered, get resurfaced by recency, and improve in coverage the more your company gets assessed — which, if you're growing and selling to bigger customers, only happens more often over time.
Security questionnaires exist so your customer's compliance team can trust what you tell them. An AI silently submitting an answer you never saw defeats the entire purpose — that's the single biggest reason compliance teams don't trust unsupervised AI-drafted questionnaire tools.
The only outputs of the Answer Bank are a PDF and an XLSX file that download to your computer. There is no API call, no email, no webhook that transmits an answer to your customer without you first clicking Accept on that specific question and then choosing to export.
Every export contains only the answers you personally approvedYou're never asked to trust a black box. Each drafted answer shows whether it's high, medium, or low confidence, and cites the exact answer-bank entry or evidence document it drew from — so you can verify a claim before you approve it, not after it's already gone to your customer.
If you edit a drafted answer for one specific questionnaire, that edit is saved as its own new answer-bank entry — it never silently overwrites the original answer other future questionnaires might still correctly reuse. Your answer bank only grows more accurate, never accidentally corrupted by a one-off exception.
SecurityPal, Loopio, and Conveyor are built well for answering questionnaires — but none of them help you assess your own vendors, and none publish SMB pricing. VendorAuditly does both, starting free.
Buyer surveys on responder-tool acceptance rates (Vanta's own reported figures) show 90%+ of AI-drafted answers get accepted with little or no editing once an answer bank has real history in it — the same compounding effect this page describes above. See the full TPRM platform →
