Summary
Whistic Vendor Summary is a quick and easy way to evaluate your vendor's security controls. It uses AI to search through the security documentation provided by your vendor to answer questions, and assess that vendor's compliance with your preferred Security Framework – and without needing to wait for the vendor to answer and return your security questionnaire themselves.
⏱️ Generate a Vendor Summary Tailored to Your Top Security Controls and Save Time
8 Ways You Save Time and Effort with Vendor Summary
-
Vendor Summary generates a summary tailored to your most important security controls.
- It quickly identifies a vendor's compliance or non-compliance with those security controls.
-
Whistic AI bases its answers on information within the sources that the Vendor has shared with you, which may include previous questionnaire responses, security documents, their SOC 2, etc.
- Vendor Summary returns a 'scorecard' for an at-a-glance view of the vendor's security control compliance, and allows you to drill in to find details related to the most common security risks without manually searching through hundreds of pages of security policy documentation.
- Instead of waiting for a vendor to answer your questionnaire, let Whistic AI find answers using the vendor's existing documentation or other information they provided.
- If there are questions that Whistic AI can't answer, it can automatically generate a short questionnaire that includes only those questions, which you can send to your vendor. With fewer questions to answer, the vendor's response will be much faster. And once received, their answers are automatically merged into the Vendor Summary for you.
- Vendor Summary surfaces the sources it used to answer each question, and provides both a confidence score and an answer explanation to help increase your confidence in the answers.
- Easily generate a final report with your findings that can be shared internally or with the Vendor.
