Security questionnaires and DDQs # Which RFP software can answer questions inside buyer portals? Short answer 20 tools document a way to answer inside buyer portals rather than only in uploaded files: Arphie, Inventive AI, 1up, Conveyor, Iris, SiftHub and 14 more. Test on the two or three portals your buyers use most, because portal support is built site by site and a tool that handles one platform well may stumble on another. 20 tools qualify on recorded evidenceNo paid placement Sources checked through Oct 2026 ## Tools that qualify, with the evidence __Rule: A recorded sentence says the product fills, answers or automates questions inside web portals (usually a browser extension or agent).

Copying answers between tabs by hand is slow and loses the approval trail, so the useful feature is an extension that suggests approved answers in place and records what was sent. ## Which one fits your situation - If you mostly face security reviews in risk platforms, start with [Arphie](/arphie), [Inventive AI](/inventive-ai) and [1up](/1up). - If you want unlimited contributors to help in the portal, start with [Inventive AI](/inventive-ai), [1up](/1up) and [Wolfia](/wolfia). ## What to test in a trial 1. Install the extension and open a live questionnaire in your busiest buyer portal. 2. Check whether answers you accept in the portal are saved back to the library with their approver. 3. Try a multi-page portal form with conditional questions, which is where extensions tend to struggle. ## Caveats - Some vendors sell the portal extension as an add-on or from a higher plan. The evidence column shows any plan note we recorded. - Portals change their layouts without notice, so ask how quickly the vendor ships fixes. ## How we decided who qualifies Only RFP, DDQ and questionnaire response tools with a published profile are checked. A tool is named here only when its record shows the rule above, either in a sourced research fact or in the reviewed profile, and we publish an answer only when at least three tools qualify. A tool missing from the table may still do this; it has not been documented in a way we could source. Read the [research methodology](/methodology) for how facts are dated and corrected. ## More questions on this topic How does a portal extension work? It reads the questions on the page, suggests answers from your approved content and fills the fields you accept. The better ones log what was submitted. Is portal support safe for sensitive answers? The extension only submits what a reviewer accepts. Check that it respects your library permissions and does not send content to the portal without a click. What if my buyer portal is not supported? Most tools fall back to copy and paste with suggestions. Ask the vendor for their supported-portal list and a timeline for yours. ## Related questions - [What is the best RFP software for security questionnaires?](/questions/what-is-the-best-rfp-software-for-security-questionnaires) - [Which RFP software can import Excel RFPs automatically?](/questions/which-rfp-software-can-import-excel-rfps-automatically) - [Which RFP software has human-in-the-loop review?](/questions/which-rfp-software-has-human-in-the-loop-review) - [Security questionnaire automation tools](/security-questionnaire-automation) - [All buyer questions](/questions) Compared tools on this page: Arphie, Inventive AI, 1up, Conveyor, Iris, SiftHub, Skypher and Wolfia and more.
