Cybersecurity Cybersecurity # 4 RFP and security questionnaire software for cybersecurity companies Security vendors answer questionnaires written and read by security experts, so a vague answer gets caught. The tools that fit draft from current product and security documentation, show the source for every technical answer, and flag anything they cannot support. 4 tools with evidence of fitListed A to ZNo paid placement Profiles checked through Oct 2026 ## At a glance Starting prices and security listings come from each vendor profile, where every fact links to the page it was read from. “Not listed” means we could not find it published, not that the vendor lacks it. __Prices and certifications move. Confirm both with the vendor before a purchase or security review.__ | Tool | Starting price | SOC 2 | ISO 27001 | Checked | | ----------------------------- | -------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------- | -------- | | [Arphie](/arphie) | Custom | SOC 2 Type 2 | Not listed | Oct 2026 | | [Inventive AI](/inventive-ai) | $10,000/yr | SOC 2 | Not listed | Oct 2026 | | [Iris](/iris) | Custom | SOC 2 Type II | Not listed | Oct 2026 | | [Ombud](/ombud) | Custom | SOC 2 | ISO 27001:2013 (announced 2021) | Jul 2026 | ## What makes questionnaires harder for security vendors When you sell a security product, the questionnaire covers your product and your company at once. Buyers ask how your agent handles telemetry, where detections are processed, how you protect your own build pipeline and who can reach customer data. The reviewers know the field, so generic policy language does not survive the first read. Technical answers drift fast. A new integration, a moved data region or a change in how alerts are stored can touch dozens of answers at once. Look for drafting from connected documentation with a confidence signal, so engineers review the risky answers instead of every answer. Several tools in this directory name security companies as customers. That is a useful signal rather than proof, so ask for a reference from a vendor whose product category and buyer look like yours. ## Tools that fit, and why Each tool is listed because its published profile shows evidence of fit, quoted below. Open the profile for pricing detail, security sources and the full list of limitations. AR![Arphie logo](https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=arphie.ai&sz=128) ### [Arphie](/arphie) **Why it fits:** Names security companies Qualys, Recorded Future and Cyberhaven among its customers. Drafts come from live connections to your documents, with source review and confidence scores. Named customers: Qualys, Recorded Future, Cyberhaven **Check before buying:** No public price list or self-serve plan; every quote goes through the contact form. [Arphie review](/arphie)[Arphie alternatives](/alternatives/arphie) IN![Inventive AI logo](https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=inventive.ai&sz=128) ### [Inventive AI](/inventive-ai) **Why it fits:** Names Oasis Security among its customers. Each draft carries a citation and confidence score, and stale or duplicate content gets flagged automatically. Named customers: Oasis Security **Check before buying:** Usage fees per RFP and security questionnaire sit on top of a platform fee from $10K/year; final quotes need a sales call. [Inventive AI review](/inventive-ai)[Inventive AI alternatives](/alternatives/inventive-ai) IR![Iris logo](https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=heyiris.ai&sz=128) ### [Iris](/iris) **Why it fits:** Names security companies Corelight and Swimlane among its customers. Flags contradictions between sources and marks insufficient context instead of guessing. Named customers: Corelight, Swimlane **Check before buying:** No published seat price, free plan or trial; evaluation runs through a sales demo. [Iris review](/iris)[Iris alternatives](/alternatives/iris) OM![Ombud logo](/logos/ombud.png) ### [Ombud](/ombud) **Why it fits:** Names Rapid7 among its customers, and its response assistant covers InfoSec questionnaires alongside RFP drafting, with approval workflows for multiple reviewers. Named customers: Rapid7 **Check before buying:** No published pricing; buying starts with a demo request. [Ombud review](/ombud)[Ombud alternatives](/alternatives/ombud) ## How to choose questionnaire software for a security vendor - **Technical depth:** Test with an architecture-heavy questionnaire, not a procurement checklist. - **Source per answer:** Every technical claim should point to the document it came from, so an engineer can check it in seconds. - **Contradiction checks:** Your docs will disagree with each other somewhere. The tool should notice before the buyer does. - **Portals and spreadsheets:** Enterprise buyers use risk portals. Confirm the browser extension or import path for the ones you see most. - **Engineer time:** Measure how many answers still need an engineer after the first draft. That number decides the value. ## What this list does not prove A listing here rests on named customers that are security companies, or on positioning aimed at them. It does not confirm depth on your product category or a specific buyer’s format. Run one of your hardest recent questionnaires through the tool. We list a tool only when its published profile supports the fit, and we publish a page only once at least three tools qualify.

Arphie names Qualys, Recorded Future and Cyberhaven among its customers, and Iris names Corelight and Swimlane. Ombud names Rapid7, and Inventive AI names Oasis Security. Each takes a different approach, so test with one of your own recent questionnaires. Why are security questionnaires harder for security vendors? The buyer’s reviewers are specialists, and your product becomes part of their security stack. They ask detailed questions about architecture and data handling, and they notice when an answer is vague or out of date. Can AI draft technical security answers safely? It can draft them from your documentation. Prefer tools that cite the source and give a confidence score, and route low-confidence answers to the engineer who owns that area. Should a security vendor rely on its trust center or a questionnaire tool? Both, ideally fed by one source. A trust center answers common questions up front, and the questionnaire tool handles the custom ones. Check whether the tool reads from your compliance platform rather than keeping a separate copy. How should a security company trial questionnaire software? Use a questionnaire from a technical buyer. Include two questions your documents answer in different ways, and see whether the tool notices the conflict.
