Conveyor vs. Loopio vs. Responsive Features
When it comes to finding the right security automation tool, there are plenty of options out there. Conveyor's customer trust automation platform has a trust center and security questionnaire automation software that work together offering 90%+ AI answer accuracy and decreased overall review time.
Let's compare Conveyor's features to comparable software like Loopio and Responsive, so you have all the information needed to find the right tool for your team.
Conveyor’s Features
Think of Conveyor as your go-to hub for all things security – it stores your security documents and Q&A knowledge base. This makes it easy for the infosec and presales teams to share secure docs and quickly fill out security questionnaires with instant AI answers from your sources. Conveyor makes it easy to automate the security review process, saving your team time, without comprising accuracy.
Some of our features include:
- Conveyor’s AI auto-generates questionnaire answers from knowledge base and documents for highest accuracy results
- AI auto adds links to your portal documents
- Browser extension populates portal questions
Let’s dive into these below.
Conveyor’s AI auto-generates questionnaire answers from knowledge base and documents
Conveyor’s AI stands out when it comes to accuracy. By using the latest LLM’s it understands nuance and context of security questions asked so you no longer have to re-write the answers other software tools provide. Conveyor leverages your knowledge base and your security documents to auto-generate accurate answers to new security questionnaires.
Unlike keyword matching software, the question being asked does not need to be a direct match to your knowledge base as Conveyor’s AI can determine if the question is addressing a topic in your knowledge base and generate an accurate answer even if it is has unique wording. This eliminates the need to maintenance an unruly 2,000 question knowledge base.
AI auto adds links to your portal documents
If you're using both the Questionnaire Eliminator and our customer-facing Portal, there's some good news. Conveyor’s AI now does the heavy lifting by automatically adding links to relevant documents. These links come with all the usual controls from your portal – the customer needs approval, signs an NDA, and so on – before they can access the document.
Roughly 10% of questions on a questionnaire are asking about the presence of a policy. Now you don't even have to think about those questions - the AI answers it and adds the link as appropriate. The process is simple, once a customer clicks the link, it will open up the document in your portal for your customer to access (of course, the customer has to be approved, sign an NDA, etc., before they can access the doc)
To put this in context, if the questionnaire question asks to see a copy of your “background check policy”, the AI will both use documents and knowledge base Q&As to generate an answer and then automatically insert a link to that exact document you host in your trust center. When the customer clicks the link, they will be prompted to sign a click-wrap NDA (if there is not one on file) before being able to access a sensitive document.
Auto-fill questionnaire answers for questionnaires in OneTrust portals
Questionnaires can exist in countless formats but receiving a questionnaire in OneTrust can be a workflow killer. Reliable software should be able to handle anything that comes your way. Conveyor now offers a one-click solution to OneTrust portal questionnaires. By using the information in your knowledge base and documents to generate answers, Conveyors AI will autofill answers in OneTrust, keeping your workflow streamlined and saving you time.
Plus, the Conveyor browser extension works for other portal-based questionnaires as well, just not as a one-click experience. Just as before, all of the information is sourced directly from your knowledge base and documents housed in your trust portal. Conveyor’s browser extension uses the same AI to populate portal questions with the best answers without disrupting your workflow. There is also always the option to export from the portal and upload to Conveyor for instant answers.
Seamless integration with trust center to satisfy customer requests for security documentation
When customers send over a security questionnaire to complete, they are often looking for security documentation like a SOC 2, Penetration Test, or other policies to go along with the completed questionnaire.
Because Conveyor is a complete end-to-end solution for security reviews, the same information you use to power the AI on the questionnaire answering side is also the information you can share with customers behind an NDA gate.
Conveyor’s AI will add links to documents when the question asks to see a policy that will directly link to the document in your trust center.
You can also empower your sales team with one URL link that they can use to share the trust center with customers to proactively get ahead of the requests.
Best of all, you just have one source to maintain. Learn more about the trust center here.
