Security questionnaire automation and security questionnaire software that answers from your own controls and evidence

Security questionnaire automation drafts answers to a customer's security review for you, so a person reviews and approves instead of writing every answer from scratch. Tools differ in where the drafts come from: a library of past answers, AI over uploaded documents, or, in Complies, the live control status, dated evidence and approved policies of your compliance program.

Published prices run from $119 a month billed yearly for Complies Growth, which includes questionnaires, to $300 and $900 a month for 1up, $899 a month for AutoRFP.ai and $9,600 a year for Conveyor Business. Loopio is quote-only with a Vendr median of $24,209 a year, and Vanta and Drata bundle questionnaire tools into quote-only platforms.

For a startup of 5 to 50 people where the same engineers run security and answer questionnaires, the best fit is a tool that answers from the compliance program you already need for SOC 2 or ISO 27001, so you pay once. Complies does that from $119 a month. If questionnaires arrive weekly from a sales team, a dedicated response platform earns its price.

Done by hand, a 100 to 300 question review often takes an engineer one to two weeks of interrupted time, most of it spent finding out what is true. With drafts matched to controls and written from recorded evidence, the work becomes review and approval of each answer, plus manual answers only for the questions the workspace cannot cover.

No. Matching is deterministic: each question is normalized for security vocabulary and scored against 17 control areas, and the draft is built only from what your workspace records. A question below the match threshold is marked for manual answering rather than guessed. That is a deliberate choice, because a fluent wrong answer on a questionnaire becomes a contractual claim.

Paste the questions one per line, or upload a CSV or text file with the questions in the first column; a header row such as Question is skipped. Each questionnaire takes up to 300 questions, and longer ones can be split into parts. The finished questionnaire exports as a CSV with the question, mapped control, answer, status and the evidence and policies behind it.

Growth and Scale. Growth is $119 a month billed yearly or $239 monthly, with 15 seats, five frameworks, evidence, risk and vendor registers and the connectors. Scale is $299 a month billed yearly or $599 monthly and adds 40 seats, Manager and Viewer roles, SSO, custom frameworks and the audit export pack. Starter does not include questionnaires.

Yes. When a question you approved before appears again, Complies starts from that approved answer and shows who approved it and when, along with its sources. It still has to be approved again for the new questionnaire, so an answer that has since gone out of date gets a second look before it is sent.

Often it shortens one but rarely replaces it. Many enterprise buyers accept a SOC 2 Type II report in place of large parts of their questionnaire, then ask the remaining questions their framework does not cover. Running SOC 2 and the questionnaire from the same workspace means those remaining answers come from the same evidence the auditor tested.

They are two sides of one process. Your customer runs a vendor risk assessment and sends you a security questionnaire as part of it. When you assess your own vendors, you are on the other side, and Complies covers that too with a vendor register and due diligence tracking on Growth.
