Answer Security Questionnaires From Your Own Truth
Fintra drafts questionnaire answers grounded in your own policies and evidence - with citations and a confidence score - so responses stay consistent with what you can actually prove, and a human approves before sending.
The questionnaire tax on every enterprise deal
Buyers send long security questionnaires - SIG, CAIQ, or a homegrown spreadsheet - and each one asks the same things in slightly different words. Answering them by hand pulls senior security and sales-engineering time into copy-paste archaeology across old responses, policies, and evidence. The answers are also risky: an outdated or invented answer can sink a deal or, worse, misrepresent your posture.
How grounded answering works
Fintra answers questions from your own source of truth - your published policies and collected evidence - rather than from a generic model. For each question it finds the most relevant policy and evidence passages, drafts an answer grounded in them, and shows the citations and a confidence score so a human can trust or correct it.
Question to cited answer
- 1
Ingest the questionnaire
Import the questions from a spreadsheet or portal export.
- 2
Retrieve grounded context
For each question, find the closest matching policy and evidence passages by similarity.
- 3
Draft with citations
Compose an answer that quotes or references the source material and links back to it.
- 4
Score confidence
Attach a confidence score so low-confidence answers get human attention first.
- 5
Human review
A person approves or edits before the response goes back to the buyer.
Honest about how the answering works
- Every answer carries citations to the policy or evidence it came from.
- A confidence score flags where the source material is thin, so humans review those first.
- Nothing is sent to a buyer without human approval - AI drafts, humans approve.
From answering questionnaires to deflecting them
The best questionnaire is the one you never have to answer. As your policies and evidence mature, the same source material that grounds questionnaire answers can be published on a trust center, so buyers self-serve the common questions before they ever send a spreadsheet.
- Reuse graded answers so repeat questions are answered consistently, not re-drafted.
- Promote stable answers to a public trust center to deflect the opening round of every review.
- Keep the grounding current, so both questionnaire answers and the trust center track what you can actually prove.
Frequently asked questions
Does the questionnaire tool use a large language model?
The default is similarity-based grounding over your own policies and evidence, so answers stay traceable to real source material rather than model guesswork. Deeper LLM drafting is available when you configure a provider key; without one, drafts rely on retrieval and labeled templates. Either way, a human approves before sending.
How do I know an answer is trustworthy?
Each answer shows the citations it was built from and a confidence score. Low-confidence answers - where your policy and evidence base is thin - are surfaced for human review first, so you fix the weak ones rather than trusting them blindly.
Where do the answers come from?
From your own published policies and collected evidence in Fintra, not a generic knowledge base. That keeps responses consistent with what you can actually prove and reduces the risk of overstating your posture to a buyer.
Does this replace my auditor or assessor?
No. Fintra is the control, policy, and evidence layer that keeps your program continuously audit-ready and cuts preparation from weeks to days. The audit, certification, or attestation itself is still performed by an independent, qualified auditor, assessor, or authorizing body - Fintra never issues certifications.
