Description
Description Automates vendor/customer security questionnaire responses. It ingests a questionnaire (Sheet/CSV/XLSX), matches each question to your approved answers and evidence, and writes a clean “Auto-Fill” sheet ready to review and send back. Optional alerts nudge reviewers and track progress to completion. Who’s It For GRC / Compliance teams responding to customer security reviews Security engineers and sales engineers supporting questionnaires Startups that need fast, consistent, audit-ready answers How It Works Trigger Run manually, on a schedule, or when a questionnaire file/row is added. Ingest & Normalize Reads questions from Google Sheets/CSV/XLSX. Normalizes columns (e.g., question, category, customer_notes) and de-duplicates. Classify Detects question type (Yes/No, multi-select, free text). Tags topics (encryption, access control, incident response, privacy, HR, etc.). Answer Retrieval Looks up approved answers from your Answer Library sheet (mapped by keywords/category/control). Falls back to templates (short form/long form) when no exact match exists. Evidence Linking Inserts Drive links for policies, diagrams, SOC2/ISO docs (from your evidence folder). Adds version/date so reviewers can verify what was sent. Auto-Fill Output Writes a new sheet with columns like: question, proposed_answer, rationale/notes, evidence_link, control_ref, owner, status, confidence, last_updated. Review & Notifications Emails the reviewer/owner with a link to the output sheet for quick approval edits. Status can move from draft → reviewed → ready to send. Export Optional export to CSV/XLSX to match customer’s template. Optional PDF of responses for audit trail. Requirements Google Sheets & Drive credentials Destination Sheet & Evidence folder (env vars used in the template): GSHEET_ID, GSHEET_SHEET DRIVE_FOLDER_ID (or keep SANITIZED and set after import) Alert email: GRC_ALERT_EMAIL File Templates GRC_SQ_AutoFill_Template.xlsx – target sheet with the output columns above Answer_Library.xlsx / Sheet tab – key-value pairs: keywords/category → approved answers Control_Mapping.xlsx / Sheet tab – optional mapping to ISO 27001, SOC2, NIST CSF Output A populated Auto-Fill sheet ready to review/share Evidence links with versioning Email notification to the reviewer with next steps Customization Tips Add your framework tags (ISO/SOC2/NIST) to enable quick mapping in the output. Set owners per topic (e.g., “Encryption → Security Eng”, “Privacy → Legal”). Add a confidence score threshold to flag answers needing human review. Enable “strict mode” to prevent sending answers without evidence links. Schedule a weekly run to pre-fill common questionnaires and keep answers fresh.
