What is Security questionnaire?

Definition

Security questionnaire (SIG)

A security questionnaire, such as the SIG, is a standardised set of questions used to assess a vendor's security, privacy, and compliance controls during due diligence.

The questionnaire is only as good as how you read the answers - vague or evasive responses matter more than the checkboxes. Pair it with independent evidence like a SOC 2 report rather than taking self-attestation at face value.
