Question 1

How is RiskReply different from Vanta or OneTrust?

Accepted Answer

RiskReply is AI-native with an evidence-to-answer pipeline that extracts claims from SOC 2 reports and drafts questionnaire answers with source citations. It includes guided agentic workflows that plan, act, and observe across your vendor portfolio — with FAIR-based risk quantification, persistent vendor memory, and transparent pricing starting at $79/mo compared to $5,000-$30,000/yr for legacy VRM platforms. Implementation takes under 1 day, not 4-12 weeks.

Question 2

What is an evidence-to-answer pipeline?

Accepted Answer

Upload compliance documents like SOC 2 reports, ISO certificates, or security policies. AI extracts specific compliance claims with source references, maps them to questionnaire questions using semantic matching, and drafts answers with citations. Each answer links to the source document, page, and section so auditors can verify.

Question 3

How much does RiskReply cost?

Accepted Answer

RiskReply offers a free plan (2 questionnaires/month), Starter at $79/month with AI Assist (10 questionnaires, AI drafts), Pro at $149/month with Guided Agentic Workflows (50 questionnaires, AI agent orchestration, 50 workflow runs), and custom Enterprise pricing with Governed Autonomous Operations (persistent vendor memory, cross-vendor intelligence, live observation). Annual billing saves 20%.

Question 4

What compliance frameworks does RiskReply support?

Accepted Answer

RiskReply ships with pre-mapped controls for SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and DORA. Assessment findings are automatically mapped to relevant controls for gap analysis and framework-specific reporting.

Question 5

What are guided agentic workflows in RiskReply?

Accepted Answer

Guided agentic workflows let an AI agent plan, execute, and observe multi-step vendor assessment tasks — like detecting evidence gaps, re-scoring assessments, drafting reminders, and proposing remediation. The agent pauses at human approval gates before taking significant actions. Enterprise customers get governed autonomous operations with persistent vendor memory, cross-vendor pattern detection, natural language steering, and live observation of agent reasoning.
