Discover how to fast-track security questionnaires with ResponseHub
Security questionnaires don’t lose deals, delays do.
Security questionnaires drain your team’s time and energy, delaying deals and pulling focus away building product.
Typical security questionnaires take between 1 to 3 days to complete, often consuming the time of critical roles like the CTO or VP of Engineering. The outcome? Delayed revenue and lost deals.
Even CTOs aren’t security experts. It’s confusing to know what the questions actually mean, and frustrating to figure out whether you’re already compliant or need to change how you work.
The cost of supplying incorrect security information could have catastrophic reputational and legal consequences, you cannot afford to get it wrong.
The real cost of doing it manually
Delaing with security questionnaires manually is a slow, error-prone process that can cost you deals.

No source of truth
Answers live in old spreadsheets, inboxes, and people’s heads. Every questionnaire becomes a fresh guessing game and inconsistencies creep in.
Late nights, early mornings
There's never enough time to spend 12 hours on a security questionnaire, especially for early stage CTOs. Stop losing your precious time to manual work.
Impossible to delegate
Engineers know the code, not the security posture. Ops can help, but still need constant clarification. And when a big deal is on the line, you end up rechecking everything anyway.
ChatGPT can't help you
You've tried "throwing it into ChatGPT" but it can't open the XLSX file and when you copy paste, you're not sure what's right and what's hallucinated.
Why security questionnaire automation tools often disappoint
CTOs have plenty of options, but many tools are built for enterprise compliance teams, not fast-moving SaaS companies trying to keep deals moving.
Enterprise GRC bloat
Many automation tools are bundled into large governance or compliance platforms. That often means long setup times, unnecessary features, and paying for far more than you need just to answer questionnaires.
Long sales processes
Some vendors require demos, procurement calls, and multi-week sales cycles, even when you just want to get started and unblock a live deal.
Opaque pricing
Watch out for tools with unclear or confusing pricing models, whether that’s “per questionnaire”, “per question”, or usage limits that only surface once you’re mid-deal.
Built for security specialists, not shipping teams
Enterprise tools assume deep security expertise and dedicated compliance staff. Early-stage teams need intuitive software with built-in explainers and guidance, without needing to know every acronym.

Built for fast moving teams, not enterprise GRC teams.

Why teams move away from spreadsheets and enterprise portals
As security questionnaires start slowing deals down, teams typically evaluate three very different approaches.

What teams actually get from security questionnaire automation
Most teams spend days pulling together a single security questionnaire. With automation, that work drops to hours, enough time to catch up on your backlog, make your next key hire or just leave work on time.
No more waiting for the CTO to finish the questionnaire in order to close the deal or renew your contract.
Have full confidence in your answers, less questions to the CTO and less follow up questions from the customer.
Frequently asked questions
All answers are backed by citations from the source documents and the Knowledge Base. This shows you the exact sentances that were used to generate the answer. Furthermore, each answer is given an AI generated confidence rating based on the references used and the answer text.
ResponseHub is the product I wish I had when I was a CTO
Previously I was co-founder and CTO of Progression, a VC backed HR-tech startup used by some of the biggest names in tech.
As our sales grew, security questionnaires quickly became one of my biggest pain-points. They were confusing, hard to delegate and arrived like London busses - 3 at a time!
I'm building ResponseHub so that other teams don't have to go through this. Leave the security questionnaires to us so you can get back to closing deals, shipping product and building your team.
