As your organization grows, more and more potential customers and partners will be asking you to fill out lengthy security questionnaires as a part of their evaluation process. Although these questionnaires are to be expected, completing them can be a redundant and time-consuming task for teams of any size. 

Now, Security Questionnaire Automation (Beta) lets you automate the response creation process for all incoming security questionnaires. 

Drata AI generates concise responses based on existing information within Drata and any previous questionnaires you’ve uploaded—saving you hours of manual work and allowing you to close deals faster. 

Check out all the details on this new capability below. 

Key Benefits of Using Drata Security Questionnaire Automation

Whether you’re filling out a diligence questionnaire, security assessment questionnaire (SAQs), CAIQ, or SIG questionnaire, Security Questionnaire Automation (SQA) has you covered. 

"SQA is great. For our first questionnaire, it saved us two days of effort and reduced our turn-around time from one week to about four hours. The vendor couldn't believe it."

Jonathan Jaffe, CISO, Lemonade

Shortened Sales Cycles With Rapid Responses

Speed up your sales cycle and increase deal velocity by automating responses to long and tricky questionnaires.

Maintain Full Control

Review, edit, and approve responses for accuracy, and decide exactly how much information to share. You also have the choice of which data sources you want the AI to use to answer questions.

Unified Platform with Centralized Data Sources

Use data within Drata and from past questionnaires to eliminate gathering data across multiple systems. All steps—from uploading questionnaires to generating, reviewing, and exporting responses—are managed within the Drata platform, providing a one-stop solution for security questionnaire automation.

How It Works

Our customers needed an automated solution that would reduce time manually responding to questions, gathering data across multiple teams, and answering lengthy questionnaires repeatedly—while still having full control and visibility into their responses. 

Here’s how Drata AI can help: 

Automated Questionnaire Processing

Simply upload your security questionnaires in formats like .xls, .csv, .pdf and more. Drata AI parses the document and extracts the questions automatically.

AI-Driven Answers 

You have full control over which sources in Drata are used to answer questionnaires, allowing you to choose which policies, evidence, and other data the AI accesses. Easily upload past questionnaires as well for a source.

Continuous Learning and Improvement

Once you approve responses, Drata automatically updates the knowledge base to prioritize the most current and accurate answers, ensuring that as your organization evolves, the system remains up-to-date and aligned with your needs.

Human Overview and Approval

While Drata AI proposes answers, your team has final approval. This ensures that responses remain accurate and relevant.
