Leveraging AI for security questionnaire automation

We start this edition with the vendor’s survival guide to security questionnaires by Jikku. Depending on who you ask, when the words ‘Security Questionnaire’ are mentioned, opinions will indeed divide. This is usually because not all organizations adopt technology to support the process. In a survey, we conducted with over 150 respondents in the industry, when asked, ‘How does your organization monitor for risks?’ 35.8% answered ‘Manually’. Just for context, spreadsheets were invented in 1979.

AI has significantly streamlined the security questionnaire process, offering several benefits for businesses:

• Dynamic Security Portals: Automation solutions can create portals that publicly showcase an organization’s security and compliance status, including certifications, attestations, and compliance reports. TrustCloud’s security portal is an example of one. These portals maintain themselves by connecting and pulling information from your security program, ensuring accuracy and up-to-date information with minimal effort.
• Faster and More Accurate Responses: Smart automation solutions can pre-populate answers based on controls in your security and compliance program, saving time and making collaboration among team members easier by allowing you to assign and tag the right people for the correct answers.

By adopting these best practices and leveraging AI, vendors can streamline their security questionnaire response processes, minimize risks, and build more trustworthy relationships with their partners and clients.
