Security Questionnaire Automation Agent

Automates security questionnaire answers using LLMs and a structured knowledge base for faster, consistent, and reliable responses.

About the Agent

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.
