The Problem

Vendor Security Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs) are one of the most important tools in a third-party risk management program. They're supposed to help organizations evaluate the security posture of their vendors and make informed decisions about risk.

In practice, most SAQs are terrible. They're either copied from a template that hasn't been updated since 2015, bloated with hundreds of questions that vendors answer with "see attached," or so vague that the answers are meaningless. Some miss entire risk domains. Others ask compound questions that are impossible to answer accurately. Many are so long that vendors provide the lowest-effort responses possible just to get through them.

The result? Organizations think they're managing vendor risk, but they're actually just generating paperwork. The SAQ becomes a checkbox exercise that gives a false sense of security without actually reducing risk.

The Solution

yourSAQsucks.com uses AI to analyze your vendor SAQ and provide detailed, actionable feedback on three critical dimensions:

Risk Reduction Design: Are your questions actually designed to surface real security risks? Or are they vague compliance checkboxes that any vendor can easily game?

Coverage Completeness: Does your SAQ cover the full spectrum of vendor risk areas -- data protection, access control, incident response, business continuity, supply chain, privacy, and more? Or are there critical blind spots?

Complexity & Usability: Is your SAQ appropriately scoped for its purpose? Or is it so long and convoluted that vendors rush through it, producing garbage responses that don't actually help you assess risk?

How It Works

Upload your SAQ document (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, or CSV), and our AI will analyze every question for quality, coverage, and design. You'll receive a detailed report with overall scores, specific findings for each evaluation dimension, and concrete recommendations for improvement.

The review is free, instant (results typically in 1-2 minutes), and requires no account or registration. Your uploaded documents are processed and then deleted -- we don't store your SAQ content after analysis.

Who This Is For

This tool is useful for anyone who creates, maintains, or relies on vendor security assessment questionnaires: GRC teams, security program managers, compliance officers, vendor risk analysts, and CISOs who want to make sure their SAQ program is actually effective.

If you've ever wondered whether your vendor SAQ is actually helping you manage risk -- or just creating busy work -- this tool will give you a straight answer.
