What's Inside
Answer Exactly What's Asked. Have the Rest Ready.
A yes/no question gets a yes or no, unless the form asks you to explain. Behind each category below is the honest explain-answer you'll need once the deal moves past the form.
Security Policies & Governance
A written security policy with a named owner and a real last-review date.
Access Control & Data Handling
Role-based access to customer data, MFA on production systems, and reviews on a set cadence.
Incident Response
A written plan with named severity levels, an escalation path, and customer notification defined in advance.
Vendor & Subprocessor Risk
An inventory of every vendor that touches customer data, reviewed before onboarding.
Data Protection & Encryption
Encryption in transit and at rest, and documented locations for where customer data lives.
Business Continuity & Backups
Automated backups that have actually been restore-tested, and a recovery objective, even a rough one.
Compliance & Certifications
Certification status stated exactly as it is: certified, in progress, or not started.
Don't break yourself into jail.
Answer what's asked. Keep the full answer in your back pocket.
