Questionnaire auto-fill

What it does

Upload a questionnaire. Radius360 parses the questions, matches them against your policies, framework controls, evidence, and risk posture, and drafts an answer for each. You review every draft, edit where needed, mark any unanswerable, and export the completed questionnaire.

The goal is not to ship unreviewed AI output to prospects. It is to skip the 90 percent of work that is copy-pasting from a previous questionnaire so you can focus on the 10 percent that is genuinely new.

Supported formats

• CAIQ v4 (Cloud Security Alliance)
• SIG Lite and SIG Full (Shared Assessments)
• Custom Excel or Google Sheets questionnaires. Any spreadsheet with a question column and an answer column works.
• Word documents with tabular question lists
• PDF forms (text-based; scanned PDFs do not work)

Running an auto-fill

1. 1
   Open Questionnaires from the sidebar. Click New Questionnaire.
2. 2
   Upload the file. For Excel and Sheets, confirm which column contains questions and which contains answers. For CAIQ and SIG, the mapping is automatic.
3. 3
   Click Start Auto-fill. Radius360 parses every question, matches it against your GRC data, and drafts an answer. A 200-question CAIQ takes about 2 to 5 minutes.
4. 4
   When complete, the questionnaire opens in the review view with every question, its draft answer, a confidence score (High, Medium, Low), and a reference to the underlying source (which policy, control, or evidence artifact the answer came from).

Reviewing and exporting

Work through the review view top to bottom. For each draft answer:

• High confidence. The answer came directly from an active policy or recent evidence. Usually acceptable with a quick read.
• Medium confidence. The answer is supported by your data but the mapping is not perfect. Review carefully.
• Low confidence. The question does not have a clear source in your data. Radius360 flags these for manual answering.

For each question, approve, edit, or mark as Unanswerable. Click Export to produce the completed file in the same format as the upload. Internal notes and confidence scores are stripped from the export.

Question types that work well

Auto-fill works best on questions like:

• "Do you have a written information security policy?"
• "Is MFA enforced for administrative access?"
• "What is your data retention period for production backups?"
• "Have you completed a SOC 2 Type II audit in the last 12 months?"
• "Describe your incident response process."

Auto-fill struggles (and flags Low confidence) on:

• Highly customer-specific questions ("How would you handle the X scenario in our environment?")
• Open-ended essay questions beyond a paragraph
• Forward-looking questions ("What new controls are planned for 2026?")
• Questions about legal structure or corporate governance (outside the platform's data scope)

Limits

Questionnaire auto-fill is available on Professional plans and above. Each fill counts against your AI query budget at roughly 1 query per 20 questions processed. See billing for plan details.
