Security questionnaire automation that answers from evidence

Security questionnaires are a tax paid in both directions: your team drowns answering the ones customers send, and your risk team drowns reading the ones vendors return. Security questionnaire automation should fix both. Scrutineer auto-answers inbound questionnaires from your own controls and evidence, and evaluates the outbound ones you send to vendors.

For inbound questionnaires, Scrutineer drafts answers grounded in your live control evidence, so responses are accurate, consistent and fast to approve. For outbound vendor questionnaires, it scores the responses against a standard and turns them into a risk score with evidence. The same scrutiny engine works on both sides, so questionnaires stop being a bottleneck and start producing real signal.

Why it works

What you get with questionnaire automation

Inbound answered from evidence

Scrutineer drafts answers to customer security questionnaires straight from your live control evidence, so responses are accurate and consistent, and approval is quick.

Outbound scored automatically

Vendor responses are evaluated against a standard and turned into a risk score, so your team reads a verdict instead of 200 raw answers.

One source of truth

Both directions draw on the same control library, so answers you give and assessments you make stay consistent and current.

What it handles

Controls in, an evidence-linked report out

Point Scrutineer at a framework or a vendor and it maps every control, pulls the evidence it can find, flags the gaps and scores the risk, returning a report with linked evidence and a prioritized remediation list. Scrutineer is decision support for readiness, an accredited auditor still issues the attestation.

Why Scrutineer

One platform that maps controls and scores risk

Not a static questionnaire, not a pass-fail black box, and not a spreadsheet you maintain by hand. Live control mapping across SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR and PCI, automatic evidence and a prioritized gap list, returned as a report you can act on. The AI scrutinizes, you decide.

Mapped to real controls

Every framework is broken down into the controls it actually requires, each scored on a red to amber to green scale, so readiness stays transparent and consistent.

Evidence behind every finding

Each control links to the exact evidence that satisfies it, the policy, the config, the log line, so the finding is auditable and your readiness is defensible.

A prioritized gap list

Open gaps roll up into a ranked remediation list, so the highest-risk findings sit at the top and your team fixes what matters before the audit begins.

Good questions

Questions about questionnaire automation

Scrutineer maps questions to your live controls and evidence and drafts grounded answers, so your team reviews and approves rather than writing from scratch. Because answers come from the same control library, they stay accurate and consistent across every questionnaire.

Yes. Outbound vendor responses are evaluated against a standard and rolled into an evidence-backed risk score, so questionnaire fatigue turns into actual signal you can act on, and your team makes the final call.
