Stop a vendor's security questionnaire from vanishing into a shared inbox

A vendor security questionnaire gets emailed as a spreadsheet, so tracking which vendors actually responded—and whether their answers still hold a year later—depends on someone remembering to check. Build a portal that tracks status and schedules reassessment automatically.

A spreadsheet doesn't know when it's stale

A vendor's answers from last year's questionnaire sit in an emailed spreadsheet with no signal that they need review. Certifications lapse and infrastructure changes, but nothing in the process prompts anyone to check.

Distribute questionnaires and collect evidence through a portal, score the response, and schedule reassessment on a cadence tied to vendor risk tier.

From questionnaire to reassessment
  1. 1. Vendor is added and assigned a risk tier
  2. 2. Security questionnaire is distributed to the vendor
  3. 3. Vendor submits responses and supporting evidence
  4. 4. Response is scored and a risk rating is assigned
  5. 5. Reassessment is scheduled based on the vendor's risk tier

Scenarios to test in your preview

  • A vendor's overdue reassessment must surface on the dashboard, not silently lapse.
  • A vendor must only see and edit their own questionnaire, not other vendors' submissions.
  • A risk rating must be recalculated when new evidence is submitted, not left at its original score.
FAQ

Common questions about vendor security assessment software

Who is this for?

Security and procurement teams assessing third-party vendors on an ongoing basis, not just at onboarding.

Can reassessment cadence vary by vendor?

Yes—set different cadences by risk tier, so high-risk vendors are reviewed more often.
