What to do this week
- Resolve Q-02 first: it is the most urgent on the list.
- Fix the data or the status on every flagged row, then re-run.
- Re-run this check every time the list changes, before it reaches a decision.
Do
- Fix the highest-risk item first, then run the check again on fresh data.
Don't
- Don't act on one row alone: open the source record first.
How to improve
- Add more detail per row (owner, date, source) so the next report can trace each item.
- Add a second period of data so the next report can show whether things are improving.

Overview
A security questionnaire arrives when a deal is nearly closed, and it costs days. Most of it is the same ground — access control, encryption, backups, incident response — asked in a different vendor's wording every time.
This agent answers from your stated security posture, matching each question to the control that actually addresses it. Where your posture covers the question, you get a draft answer with the control it rests on. Where it does not, the agent says so and routes it to a person.
That refusal is the product. Claiming a control you do not have is a misrepresentation to a customer that resurfaces in an audit or after an incident — so the agent never fills a gap to look complete. It separates answers it can evidence from answers that need review, and tells you which gaps are costing you deals.
Benefits
days, not weeks
Days back per questionnaire
Review a draft instead of composing two hundred answers.
Consistent across customers
The same control described the same way every time, which is what auditors check.
Nothing overclaimed
No control asserted that you cannot evidence.
What it does
Answers from your posture, not from the internet
Every response traces to a control you told it you have.
Refuses what it cannot evidence
An uncovered question is returned as uncovered, never answered plausibly to look finished.
Separates evidenced from needs-review
Your security lead reviews the short list instead of all two hundred rows.
Normalises the wording
Recognises the same control asked in SIG, CAIQ and bespoke phrasing, so answers stay consistent across customers.
Names the gaps that cost deals
Reports which unanswered controls appear most often, so remediation is prioritised by revenue rather than by framework.
What this changes
What this changes about your week
- It takes over
- Answering a buyer's security questionnaire from your own evidence.
- Done today by
- Whoever knows the estate — usually your most expensive engineer.
- How often
- Every enterprise deal, and every renewal.
- Typical manual effort
- A three-hundred-question questionnaire is a week of interruptions.
Why Cybersecurity in particular. These land at the worst point in a deal and they block it. Answering them from evidence rather than memory shortens the deal and the argument.
Runs unattended
Started by you or by an event, and it finishes on its own. Nothing waits for someone to be at a desk.
The same standard every time
The two-hundredth item is held to the bar the first one was. Consistency is the part people cannot sustain.
It cannot act on its own
Security Questionnaire Agent has no path to sending, spending or committing. That limit is why its output is safe to act on.
How it runs
This agent runs server-side through the PROMIVO runtime. Each run is logged step by step and every tool call is permission-checked before it executes.

FAQ
Will it answer questions we cannot actually satisfy?
No, and that is the point. An uncovered question is returned as uncovered with a note on what would be needed to answer it. Claiming a control you do not have is a misrepresentation to your customer that resurfaces in an audit.
Does this replace our security lead?
No. It drafts, and marks what needs judgement. Every response should be reviewed before it goes to a customer — the agent tells you which ones need the most attention.
Is this a compliance certification?
No. It helps you respond to questionnaires accurately. It does not assess, certify or attest to your controls, and it is not a substitute for an audit.
