Answer security questionnaires in minutes — with citations your auditor can verify.
Upload a PDF, DOCX, or CSV questionnaire from a customer, prospect, or auditor. Ayliea drafts a cited, evidence-grounded answer for every question — pulling from your existing controls, prior responses, and uploaded evidence. Review, edit, export. No fabrication. No black-box AI.
The problem
Customer questionnaires are a tax on your security team.
Every customer questionnaire is the same painful loop: open the PDF, search your evidence library, copy a control description, paste it in, hope it's accurate. Repeat 150 times. The second one of the quarter arrives the same week the first one ships, and the security lead becomes the bottleneck on every enterprise deal.
When you finish a questionnaire by hand, your auditor still has no way to verify the answers came from real evidence rather than fabrication. The cost is two-sided: your team's time and your customer's trust.
How it works
From PDF to cited answers in four steps.
Step 1
Upload
Drop your SIG Lite, CAIQ, custom questionnaire, or any structured Q&A document (PDF, DOCX, CSV). Ayliea parses it into individual questions automatically.
Step 2
Autofill
Ayliea drafts an answer for every question, grounded in your existing controls, assessment evidence, prior questionnaire responses, and uploaded artifacts. Each draft carries a confidence score and a citation chain.
Step 3
Review
Accept, edit, or reject each draft in the reviewer UI. Questions without sufficient evidence are flagged inline — they're never fabricated. Citations expand to show the source control, evidence file, and excerpt.
Step 4
Export
Generate the finalized questionnaire as CSV (spreadsheet review), JSON (system integration), DOCX (auditor-ready document), or PDF (signed, shareable). Include a citations appendix that lists every evidence source.
Why this is different
Cited. Auditable. No fabrication.
Citations on every answer
Every drafted answer expands to show the source: control name, evidence file, excerpt. Click any citation in the exported PDF appendix to see the underlying record. Auditors can verify your answers came from real evidence.
No fabrication policy
When the evidence is thin, Ayliea flags the question instead of making up an answer. You'll never accidentally submit a confidently-wrong response. Confidence scores tell you which answers are solid and which need review.
Open methodology
Built on AISS — the Ayliea AI Security Standard, published on GitHub under CC-BY-4.0. Your customers can verify the framework against the spec. No black-box scoring, no proprietary 'trust us' claims.

FAQ
Common questions.
What questionnaire formats can I upload?
PDF, DOCX, and CSV. SIG, SIG Lite, CAIQ v4, CAIQ Lite, VSA, HECVAT, FIRM, and most custom enterprise questionnaires work out of the box. Any structured Q&A document parses automatically.
Where do the answers come from?
Your assessment responses, your uploaded evidence files, your prior questionnaire submissions, and your AI System Registry entries. Ayliea cites the specific source for every answer.
What happens when there's no evidence to back an answer?
The question is flagged with a 'needs review' indicator. Ayliea will never fabricate an answer — if the evidence isn't there, the answer isn't generated. You can manually answer or upload supporting evidence.
Can my customer or auditor verify the citations?
Yes. Every cited evidence record is included in the PDF appendix (optional, on by default). Customers and auditors see the control name, evidence file name, and excerpt that backed each answer.
What's the confidence score?
A 0–100 indication of how directly the evidence supports the answer. 80+ means the source evidence directly answers the question; 50–79 means the evidence is related but may need editing; below 50 surfaces a 'needs review' flag.
Can I edit the drafted answers?
Yes. The reviewer UI lets you accept, edit, or reject each draft individually. Edited answers retain the citation but are marked as human-edited.
Does this work with AI-specific questionnaires (EU AI Act, ISO 42001, etc.)?
Yes. Ayliea's AI System Registry, AISS sub-control responses, and AI Agent Security framework are all available as citation sources. AI-specific questionnaires are autofilled the same way as security questionnaires.
Is the questionnaire data shared with AI providers for training?
No. Ayliea uses providers via Vercel AI Gateway with zero data retention. Your questionnaire content and evidence are never used to train any model.
