### Streamline Your Vendor Security Assessments with Paperform

When you're managing vendor relationships and need to ensure SOC 2 Type II compliance, the process of collecting and evaluating security information can quickly become overwhelming. Spreadsheets get lost, email chains become unmanageable, and tracking responses across multiple vendors turns into a full-time job. This **SOC 2 Type II Vendor Security Questionnaire template** gives you a professional, structured way to assess vendor security postures and maintain compliance documentation—all in one place.

#### Built for compliance teams and security professionals

Whether you're a **compliance officer**, **IT security manager**, **risk manager**, or **procurement specialist** working in technology, SaaS, finance, healthcare, or consulting industries, vendor security assessments are non-negotiable. This template helps you systematically evaluate vendors against the five Trust Service Criteria—security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy—that form the foundation of SOC 2 compliance.

Instead of cobbling together Word documents and manually tracking responses, you get a structured questionnaire that captures everything you need: encryption standards, access control policies, incident response protocols, backup procedures, audit trail capabilities, and compliance certifications. Responses flow directly into your preferred project management or GRM platform, creating a clean audit trail from the start.

#### From questionnaire to automated vendor onboarding workflow

The real power comes when you connect this form to **Stepper**, Paperform's AI-native workflow automation platform. Turn each vendor submission into a multi-step compliance review process:

 - Automatically route high-risk responses to your security team for deeper review
 - Trigger follow-up emails requesting additional documentation or clarification
 - Create vendor risk profiles in your GRC tool or Airtable based on questionnaire scores
 - Schedule periodic re-assessments and send renewal reminders
 - Generate summary reports for audit committees or executive stakeholders

This means your compliance process doesn't stop at data collection—it becomes an end-to-end vendor risk management workflow that runs itself, freeing your team to focus on actual risk analysis rather than administrative coordination.

#### Professional, on-brand security assessment forms

First impressions matter, even in compliance. This template gives you a polished, professional questionnaire that reflects well on your organization's security maturity. Customize the theme to match your brand, add your logo, and adjust the language to fit your industry's terminology. You can embed the form on your vendor portal, send it as a standalone link, or include it as part of a broader onboarding package.

The multi-page layout keeps the questionnaire organized and prevents vendor fatigue, while conditional logic ensures vendors only see questions relevant to their service category. File upload fields let vendors attach their SOC 2 reports, insurance certificates, and policy documents directly within the form, eliminating the need for separate file-sharing systems.

#### Integrate with your existing compliance stack

Paperform connects seamlessly with the tools compliance and security teams already use. Push vendor responses to **Airtable** for risk scoring dashboards, log assessments in **Google Sheets** for tracking, send alerts to **Slack** when critical security gaps are identified, or sync data to your GRC platform via **Stepper**, Zapier, or webhooks.

For teams managing compliance documentation that requires signatures or formal acknowledgment, **Papersign** lets you turn approved vendor assessments into signed agreements, keeping the entire process—from questionnaire to executed contract—connected and auditable.

#### Security and compliance you can trust

When you're handling sensitive vendor security information, you need a platform built to the same standards you're evaluating. Paperform is **SOC 2 Type II compliant**, offers data residency controls, role-based access, and provides a comprehensive Trust Center so you can confidently manage third-party risk assessment data.

Whether you're conducting initial vendor due diligence, performing annual re-assessments, or responding to audit requests, this template gives compliance teams, IT security professionals, and procurement specialists a structured, efficient way to manage vendor security evaluations. No more chasing vendors for answers, manually compiling responses, or worrying about missing documentation when auditors come calling.
