Short answer 15 tools in this directory name SIG or CAIQ handling in their recorded evidence: Inventive AI, Conveyor, Iris, SiftHub, Skypher, Wolfia and 9 more. If your buyers send the full SIG, test the tool on that exact year and tab layout, because a format name on a feature page is a claim about support, not about how clean the export is. 15 tools qualify on recorded evidenceNo paid placement Sources checked through Oct 2026 ## Tools that qualify, with the evidence __Rule: The vendor record or a sourced fact names SIG or CAIQ as a format the product handles. Ordered by the related capability scores; ties go to sourced research facts, then overall score.

Both arrive as large spreadsheets with fixed structures, so the useful question is whether a tool keeps that structure intact while it fills answers in. ## Which one fits your situation - If you also get custom questionnaires in buyer portals, start with [Inventive AI](/inventive-ai), [Conveyor](/conveyor) and [Iris](/iris). - If you need every answer tied to a visible source, start with [Inventive AI](/inventive-ai), [Conveyor](/conveyor) and [Iris](/iris). ## What to test in a trial 1. Use your last completed SIG Lite or CAIQ as the benchmark and an unseen copy as the test. 2. Check that dropdown cells, comment columns and tab order survive the round trip. 3. Ask which SIG year the vendor tests against, then try the version your buyers actually send. ## Caveats - Not every tool names formats publicly. A tool missing from this list may still handle SIG files; it just has not documented it in a way we could source. - Format support moves between product releases, so check the dates in the source column. ## 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 What is the difference between SIG and CAIQ? SIG is a broad third-party risk questionnaire that covers many control areas. CAIQ is narrower and maps to the Cloud Controls Matrix, so it is common for SaaS and cloud vendors. Can a tool pre-fill a SIG from a SOC 2 report? Some tools draft answers from uploaded reports and policies. Treat those drafts as suggestions until a security owner confirms each one against the current report. Is SIG Lite enough for most buyers? That depends on the buyer. Many accept SIG Lite for lower-risk vendors and ask for the full SIG for anything touching sensitive data. ## 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 is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified?](/questions/which-rfp-software-is-soc-2-and-iso-27001-certified) - [Security questionnaire automation tools](/security-questionnaire-automation) - [All buyer questions](/questions) Compared tools on this page: Inventive AI, Conveyor, Iris, SiftHub, Skypher, Wolfia, SecurityPal and Realm and more.
