# Questionnaires

A **security questionnaire** is a structured list of security, compliance, and risk-related questions typically sent by prospects, partners, auditors, or customers. It is used to assess your organisation’s security posture, policies, and processes before forming a business relationship or granting system access.

The **Questionnaires** section in Sprinto’s Trust module centralises the management of these questionnaires, enabling faster, more accurate responses through AI-assisted automation. By combining your organisation’s Knowledge Hub, policies, and supporting documents with Sprinto AI, the module reduces manual effort and shortens turnaround times for RFPs and due diligence requests.
