02 · Buyer Assurance

Someone just asked your company for security proof.

A customer questionnaire, an insurer's renewal form, a board question. The demand arrives attached to revenue, and the answers have to exist. We build your reusable evidence set once, self guided or guided, so the next request takes hours instead of weeks.

Security questionnaires now gate enterprise and government deals
Cyber insurers price on evidence, not assurances
Why now

Every big customer is now a regulator

Canadian firms are moving toward new customers, and enterprise, government, and prime buyers all arrive with security, privacy, and supplier assurance requirements attached. No statute makes them do it; the contract does. This is how most Canadian businesses meet this economy, and the companies that answer fastest keep the deal moving.

Evidence prepared for cyber insurance renewal or application, ready for your broker and insurer. Not insurance advice.

$1,500 to $2,750 CAD · guided only
How the engagement runs

Five steps, demand to reusable answer

The same sequence in both delivery modes. Self guided, your team runs it with ascio reviewing at fixed points; guided, ascio runs it with you. Every stage produces an artifact you keep.

  1. Read the demand

    The questionnaire, contract clause, or renewal form, turned into a precise list of what is actually being asked.

  2. Map what exists

    Policies, controls, and records you already have, matched against the ask. Most companies hold more than they think, in worse order than they think.

  3. Fill the gaps

    The missing policies and controls, sequenced by what blocks revenue first.

  4. Assemble the response library

    Answers written once, mapped to the questions buyers actually ask, with the evidence behind each.

  5. Answer and reuse

    The live request answered, and the library kept so the next one is a lookup, not a project.

What you walk away with

Artifacts, not advice

  • A policy set aligned to what buyers actually ask
  • Completed questionnaires you can stand behind
  • A response library mapped to common buyer and insurer questions
  • An evidence folder behind every answer
  • A renewal calendar so the set stays current
Afterwards

Ongoing support

Most clients keep us on after the initial work. The Assurance Desk maintains your evidence, manages your renewal dates, and handles new questionnaires as they arrive. Starting from $495 CAD per month.

Questions

Asked often

Do we need a certification to satisfy a customer questionnaire?

Usually not. Most questionnaires ask about controls and evidence, not certificates. If a customer does require certification, that is ISO Readiness.

How does the Questionnaire Rescue credit work?

The Rescue fee is credited against a Buyer Assurance Pack bought within 60 days. The Rescue clears the blocking questionnaire; the Pack makes sure the next one is not an emergency.

What decides where we land in a price range?

The delivery mode. Self guided sits at the lower end of each range, guided at the upper. The evidence is the same either way.

A questionnaire is blocking a deal right now?

The Rescue runs in a fast lane. Send it over and you will know the size of the problem within days, not weeks.
