Start Quest

Build Your Security Program without Spreadsheet Chaos. The all-in-one platform to send, review, and manage questionnaires.

“We’ll just use a Spreadsheet.”

Starting a security program is hard enough. Don’t let your data gathering become a full-time manual job. If you are currently: 

  • A team of less than 5 
  • Manually reviewing scoring vendor risks in a fragmented Spreadsheet 
  • Struggling to give stakeholders a clear picture of your security posture 
  • Searching through emails for “that one attachment” 
  • Setting reminders for yourself to remind your vendor to complete their questionnaires 

There is a better way. 

A Proven Workflow

  • Send with Confidence
    • Once onboarded, your team will build out their questionnaire(s) and test the workflow. Then, Admins can be assigned and submit a request for a vendor, creating a record, which immediately sends out questionnaires to the appropriate vendors.  
  • Status Checks
    • Admins will be able to track the progress of the questionnaire with the recipient through Start Quest. Questionnaires are organized into queues for Admins to see the status with each vendor.
    • Start Quest can collect partial responses, measure user engagement, and track how long it takes individuals to complete questionnaires. This information can be reported to Admins. 
  • The Review Loop 
    • When a questionnaire is completed, the admin is notified to review it. They can approve, reject, or issue exceptions, sending it back and forth until modifications are approved. 

The Small Business Advantage

Designed and operated by a small business, Start Quest avoids the common “enterprise bottleneck”. Start Quest can make modifications quickly based on client feedback, ensuring the tool evolves as your team does.
