The Security Questionnaire Automation Agent is a ZBrain-built solution that streamlines the completion of security questionnaires for vendor onboarding, procurement, and compliance reviews. By generating rapid, consistent responses sourced from an approved internal knowledge base, the agent eliminates manual, repetitive inputs and reduces the risk of errors.
Once a questionnaire is uploaded, whether in Excel, PDF, or form-based formats—the agent parses it into individual questions. Each question is then classified into one of ten predefined security domains. It uses a Large Language Model (LLM) to understand each question’s intent and retrieve the most accurate response from the knowledge base. If a question doesn’t clearly align with a category, fallback logic enables a broader semantic search to identify the best available answer. The system also supports response synthesis when partial data is distributed across multiple entries.
Each response is delivered with a confidence score and a brief rationale, giving internal teams transparency and a faster way to verify the suggested answers. The final output is formatted to match the original questionnaire's structure, ready for download, review, or direct submission.
By automating the most repetitive and error-prone parts of security questionnaire handling, the agent reduces operational friction, improves response accuracy, and enhances the scalability of vendor assessment workflows—allowing domain experts to focus on high-value review and oversight instead of manual drafting.

Sample output delivered by the Security Questionnaire Automation Agent:
Question:
What framework do you follow for evaluating third-party cybersecurity risks?
Classified Category: Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)
Confidence Score: Medium
Answer Present: yes
Answer: We follow a risk-based framework aligned with industry standards such as NIST and ISO 27001. Vendors are assessed based on data access levels, compliance certifications, and security incident history.
Justification: The context mentions structured risk assessments and alignment with established cybersecurity standards, which directly support the evaluation of third-party risks.
Question:
How do you align internal stakeholders during vendor selection and onboarding?
Answer: This question could not be answered using the available knowledge base context. Please escalate to an SME for resolution.
Justification: None of the retrieved documents reference stakeholder communication or cross-functional alignment processes during procurement activities.
Question:
Is your system compatible with enterprise monitoring tools like IBM QRadar or Elastic Security?
Classified Category: Integrations
Confidence Score: High
Answer Present: yes
Answer: Yes, our platform supports integration with enterprise-grade monitoring tools, including IBM QRadar and Elastic Security, via API-based log forwarding and SIEM-compatible data structures.
Justification: The context explicitly confirms integration capabilities with enterprise monitoring solutions, detailing supported methods and compatible platforms.
