Security questionnaire

A form a prospective or existing customer sends asking about your security and compliance practices, often as a gate before signing or renewing a contract.

Security questionnaires range from a handful of questions to hundreds of rows, and may be bespoke or based on a standard format like SIG or CAIQ. Answering them accurately and quickly is a common bottleneck in enterprise sales cycles, especially when the same questions get asked slightly differently by every buyer.
