Knowally
Knowally is a specialized SaaS tool that automates the process of responding to security questionnaires for B2B SaaS companies. It allows teams to upload their existing security documentation once, and then leverages that content to automatically draft accurate answers to a wide range of security questions from customers, prospects, and third-party risk assessors. The platform specifically focuses on common frameworks such as SIG and CAIQ, making it a practical solution for organizations that regularly undergo security reviews. When a new security questionnaire or RFP arrives, Knowally uses the uploaded documents to generate draft responses, with each answer cited directly from the original source material. This ensures that responses are grounded in official security policies and technical control descriptions, reducing the need for manual research and hunting for information. Users can then review, edit, and confirm the drafts before exporting the final response, all within a streamlined workflow designed to save time and minimize errors. One of the key advantages of Knowally is its privacy-conscious approach, using only first-party analytics with no third-party tracking or cross-site data sharing. The tool is currently offered free of charge, making it accessible to startups and smaller organizations that might otherwise struggle to allocate resources to time-consuming security questionnaire responses. By turning a notoriously tedious task into a process of hours rather than days, Knowally helps security, compliance, and sales teams stay responsive and competitive in enterprise sales cycles.

Problem solved
Security questionnaires and RFP security sections are manually intensive, requiring teams to parse dozens of questions, search through scattered documentation, and ensure consistent, accurate answers.
