Security questionnaires

Stop scrambling.
Start closing.

An 600-question SIG lands in your inbox. The buyer wants network diagrams you've never drawn, incident response plans you've never tested, and a call with your "security team"—which is your CTO, part-time, between shipping features.

We've been on the other side of these evaluations. We know which answers get flagged, which gaps actually matter, and what makes a buyer's security team say yes. We take questionnaires off your plate and get on the calls when buyers want to talk to a human.
Security Questionnaires
01
Customers don't just want a SOC 2 report—they want real answers about your architecture, controls, and processes. We help you build responses (and systems) that satisfy scrutiny and get on calls when buyers want to talk to a human.
SIG, CAIQ, and custom questionnaire response
Live call support when the buyer's security team wants to talk—with someone who's been on their side of the table
Security narrative & positioning
Reusable response library creation
Who it’s for
Sales and security teams tired of questionnaires stalling deals—or going unanswered because nobody knows what to say.
Outcome
Faster deal cycles, confident responses, and someone credible on the call. A third of companies say they lose deals outright over security gaps. We make sure that's not you.

FAQ

Questions We Hear Before the First Call

We've worked with dozens of SaaS teams navigating enterprise security. Here's what usually comes up.

What kind of companies do you work with?

Mostly B2B SaaS companies—typically Series A or B, with a small security team or none at all. The common thread: enterprise buyers are asking hard security questions, and the team needs help answering them.

We already use Vanta / Drata / a compliance platform.

Keep using them — they're great at automating evidence collection and getting you through your SOC 2 audit. We pick up where they stop: the live security call with your prospect's team, the custom questionnaire questions that fall outside your audit scope, and pen testing that holds up when a buyer's security team actually reads the report. Instead of your CTO spending weeks figuring out what enterprise buyers expect and how to talk about your security posture, you hand it to us. Compliance platforms get you the certificate. We get you through the security review.

We just need a pen test. Is that something you do?

Yes. But we'll probably ask what's driving the need—because a pen test is often part of a bigger picture (a deal in motion, a compliance requirement, a buyer's security review). If you genuinely just need a clean report, we can do that, validation and retesting included. If there's more to untangle, we'll tell you.

Can you help us answer security questionnaires?

Yes—and we can get on calls with your buyer's security team when needed. We've been on the other side of those calls, running vendor evaluations. We know what they're actually trying to learn and how to answer in a way that builds confidence. We've also been on both sides of a breach and can justify when controls make a difference.

How fast can you start?

Most engagements kick off within 2-3 weeks. If you have a deal on the line and need to move faster, tell us—we'll see what we can do.

Do you offer one-off projects or ongoing support?

Both. Some clients need a pen test or SOC 2 sprint and we're done. Others want a retained advisor they can pull in for security reviews, architecture questions, or board prep. We structure it around what you actually need.

How much does this cost?

It depends on scope, but most companies spend less on a full engagement than they lose in delays. A pen test or gap analysis starts in the low five figures. A broader security story or compliance push scales from there based on what you actually need.

Is Adversis a good fit if we don't have a security team yet?

That's most of our clients. We act as your security bench—fractional expertise you can tap without hiring a full team. When you're ready to build internally, we can help with that transition too.

Most companies don't need more security—they need the right security at the right time. We figure out what that is.
