Security Questionnaire Support
Different teams answered the same questions differently. The buyer’s security team pushed back. Now the deal is sitting in a review queue while your champion waits for someone to fix it.
Kellwick triages the questionnaire within 48 hours, builds an evidence pack behind the answers and fixes the inconsistencies - so the response goes back accurate, consistent and provable.
You do not need to be pursuing ISO 27001 certification to use this.
We reply within one business day. Independent advisory. Not a certification body.
Signs the questionnaire is the problem
Different teams answer the same question differently
The buyer's security team has pushed back or asked for clarifications
Answers claim controls that are not fully operational
Every new questionnaire starts from scratch
No evidence pack to point to when the buyer asks for proof
The deal is sitting in a security review queue with no clear next step
How it works
We do not invent answers. Every response points to a control that is actually operating, backed by evidence the buyer can verify if they ask.
We read every question and separate real security gaps from wording problems, duplicates and overclaims. You know within 48 hours what needs fixing and what is already defensible.
We review the evidence you have and identify what is missing. Every answer gets a reference - not an assertion. If the buyer asks to see proof, you have it.
We flag any answer that claims a control not yet operating. Overclaiming is the fastest way to lose buyer trust; we catch it before submission.
Consistent, evidence-backed answers stored in one place. The next questionnaire pulls from the library instead of starting from memory - and gets better each time.
A short trust page or security overview gives buyers a single place to verify your posture without waiting for a questionnaire response. We outline what to include.
A question we often hear
No. Security questionnaire support is a standalone engagement. You do not need to be pursuing ISO 27001 certification, and there is no expectation that this becomes a larger programme.
If your situation makes ISO 27001 relevant, we will say so and explain why. If it does not, we will say that too. The goal is to unblock your deal - not to sell you a certification journey you did not ask for.
What to expect
The 48-hour triage gives you a clear picture of where the questionnaire stands - what is answered well, what needs evidence and what is risky to submit as-is. We do not replace your answers with vague best-practice language; we fix the specific answers that will get pushed back.
You receive
Pricing is scoped on a short call after we see the questionnaire. Complexity and length vary; we quote a fixed fee before starting.

Certification is performed by an accredited certification body through Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits. Kellwick prepares you for that process; it does not perform it and cannot guarantee its outcome.
