Encryption

How to answer encryption questions

Give safe answers for encryption at rest, encryption in transit, and key management questions.

Separate at rest and in transit

Buyers usually expect both to be answered clearly.

Name standards carefully

Only mention AES-256, TLS versions, or KMS details if confirmed.

Attach evidence

Security policies and architecture notes are common supporting evidence.

FAQ

Should security questionnaire answers be reviewed?

Yes. Draft answers should be reviewed before they are sent to customers because they represent your company's security posture.

What if supporting evidence is missing?

Flag the answer as missing information, add the right policy or document, or answer manually with a clear caveat.

Can previous answers be reused?

Yes, but only after checking that the scope, product behavior, and supporting evidence are still current.
