Security questionnaires, answered from evidence

Answers you can prove.

citeproof answers vendor security questionnaires from your actual evidence — policies, SOC 2 reports, pen test summaries — and cites the exact source for every answer. And when that evidence changes, it tells you precisely which past answers no longer hold.

Q14. Is customer data encrypted at rest?

Yes. All customer data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 via the cloud provider's KMS.

Cited · SOC 2 Type II · §4.2

Q22. Do you enforce a formal access-review cadence?

Answer cited an earlier Access Control Policy that has since changed.

Outdated · re-verify against Policy v3
The problem

Security questionnaires don't scale

The same work, redone every quarter — and no way to trust what an AI hands back.

Spreadsheet groundhog day

The same 200 questions, reformatted by every vendor, answered from scratch each time.

SME time drain

Every review drags a security engineer back into Slack to reconstruct an answer they've already given.

Unverifiable AI answers

Generic AI tools generate confident text with no way to check what it's actually based on.

What you get

Every answer traceable to its source

Four things citeproof does that a generic AI answer generator can't.

The differentiator

Answer lineage & drift detection

Change a document and citeproof automatically shows which previously answered questions are now invalid — down to the exact cited passage, not just the whole file. Nothing goes stale silently.

Cited answers

Every answer links to the exact document and section it came from.

Honest gaps

No supporting evidence? It's flagged as a gap — never a confident guess.

Evidence versioning

Document versions are immutable; each citation pins the exact version it used.

Answer lineage

When evidence changes, you know exactly what breaks

Re-upload a policy or a fresh pen test report and citeproof compares it against every answer that cited it. Only the answers whose specific cited passage actually changed get flagged — the rest stay green.

  • Passage-level precision, not "the whole doc changed"
  • Every citation pinned to an immutable document version
  • Nothing you've signed off on quietly goes out of date

How it works

Evidence in, cited answers out

  1. 1

    Upload your evidence

    Policies, SOC 2 report, pen test summary — once.

  2. 2

    Drop in the questionnaire

    The vendor's spreadsheet as-is — no reformatting.

  3. 3

    Get cited answers

    Each answer links to its source; unsupported ones are flagged, not guessed.

  4. 4

    Stay current

    When evidence changes later, lineage flags the answers that no longer hold.

The difference

Not another AI-questionnaire wrapper

Generic AI tools

  • Plausible-sounding text, no source
  • Can't tell you when it's guessing
  • Answers drift silently as evidence changes
  • When a document changes, no idea which answers break

citeproof

  • Every answer cites its source document
  • No evidence → explicit flagged gap
  • Citations pinned to immutable versions
  • When a document changes, shows which past answers are now outdated
