Example Output
Security Section
1. Do you use customer prompts, files, or metadata to train foundation models by default? If yes, describe opt-out controls.
2. What admin roles exist, and can access be restricted with SSO and SCIM?
3. Are audit logs exportable for security investigations?
Red Flags
- Vendor cannot state where customer data is stored
- No documented subprocessors or incident notification window
- No way to disable training on customer content
Scoring Guidance
- Security and privacy: 40%
- Reliability and support: 20%
- Governance and contractual protections: 25%
- Cost and implementation risk: 15%
Tips for Best Results
- 💡State whether regulated data is in scope because that changes the questionnaire substantially
- 💡Include any internal security policies so the output maps to real review gates
- 💡Ask for a one-page executive summary if leadership only wants a recommendation memo
- 💡Request separate questions for pilots versus full production rollouts when needed
