What types of questionnaires can Wordsmith handle? Wordsmith handles the full range of security and privacy questionnaires: vendor DDQs, RFP security sections, ISO 27001 assessments, SOC 2 questionnaires, GDPR DPIAs, and custom security intake forms. If a prospect or customer sends it, Wordsmith can fill it. What file formats does Wordsmith support? Excel (.xlsx), Word (.docx), and PDF questionnaires are all supported. Wordsmith outputs answers in the original file format, preserving all formatting, merged cells, and data validation rules set by the sender. Does Wordsmith maintain accuracy and consistency in responses? Yes. Every answer is drawn from your approved knowledge base — past questionnaire responses, DPAs, and security policies that you have uploaded or connected via integrations. Wordsmith does not generate new positions; it applies existing approved ones consistently. How does Wordsmith learn from my documentation? You upload historical privacy assessments, security documentation, and past questionnaires to create a knowledge base. Wordsmith indexes these and uses them as the source for all future answers. As you review and correct AI-generated responses, those corrections feed back into the knowledge base automatically. How much time can automation save my team? Teams typically reduce time spent on security questionnaires by 80–90%. A questionnaire that previously took a week of back-and-forth between legal, security, and sales can be drafted in minutes and reviewed in under an hour. Is my sensitive data secure with automated questionnaire processing? Yes. Wordsmith uses read-only OAuth integrations to connect to your document sources — no credentials are stored, no write access is granted. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The knowledge base is private to your organisation and is never used to train shared models. BOOK A DEMO ### Ready to transform your legal department?
