Overview
Why customers request security questionnaires
Customers use security questionnaires to understand whether vendors can protect sensitive data, maintain access controls, respond to incidents, and support compliance expectations.
OC Security Audit helps interpret questions, identify evidence, find control gaps, and prepare a practical remediation plan so responses are accurate and defensible.
This page is for initial guidance and readiness planning only. It does not replace a professional cybersecurity audit, compliance assessment, penetration test, or legal/compliance review.
Review Areas
Common questionnaire areas
We map questionnaire requests to real controls, documents, systems, and evidence.
Documentation and evidence collection
Gather policies, screenshots, reports, configuration evidence, diagrams, and security summaries.
Microsoft 365 review
Review MFA, sharing, mailbox security, admin roles, logging, retention, and audit evidence.
Policy and governance review
Compare requested policies to existing documents and identify missing or outdated procedures.
Gap identification
Identify unsupported answers, weak controls, missing evidence, and remediation needs.
Remediation planning
Prioritize fixes based on customer risk, contract urgency, effort, and security impact.
Control mapping
Map questions to SOC 2, NIST, ISO 27001, CIS, Microsoft, or internal control language.
Technical Detail
How we make questionnaire responses defensible
- Separate policy evidence from technical proof and configuration screenshots.
- Map Microsoft 365, endpoint, backup, network, vulnerability, and governance controls to requests.
- Identify risky yes/no answers that need qualification, remediation, or management review.
- Create a response support package with evidence references and remediation notes.
- Explain which gaps may affect customer trust, renewals, contracts, or sales cycles.
