Buyer security reviews

• The Cloud Security Alliance CAIQ.
• The Shared Assessments SIG and SIG Lite.
• Vendor due diligence questionnaires and bespoke buyer spreadsheets.
• The AI sections that now appear in most of them, covering model provenance, training data, human oversight, AI suppliers and whether you hold ISO/IEC 42001.

The security portions of these questionnaires are usually answerable from a SOC 2 report or an ISO 27001 certificate. The AI questions are not. They ask about specific systems, specific models and specific oversight arrangements, and that information generally sits nowhere.

Answering it once and holding the answers is faster than reconstructing it for each buyer.

• We answer from your approved evidence, and each answer cites the document behind it.
• Where an answer cannot be supported, we say so rather than writing something plausible.
• Answers are retained, so the next questionnaire is a review rather than a rebuild.
• Where an answer exposes a real gap, we tell you what closing it would involve.
