Features.Everything Evident does today.
Security questionnaire software that answers from your own evidence, shows its sources, and leaves anything it can’t support for you. Here is all of it, from the first upload to the file you send back.
Answering
Answers from your evidence, never made up.
Evident answers security questionnaires, RFIs and RFPs from your own documents, and shows where every answer came from.
A source on every answer
Each answer cites the document and passage it came from, so a reviewer can check it in one click.
Gaps are left for you
When your documents don’t cover a question, Evident leaves it open instead of guessing. A partial answer names the part that is still missing.
Excel, Word, CSV and portals
Upload a spreadsheet or document, including older .xls files, or point Evident at a vendor portal. No templates, no mapping.
Your file comes back intact
Answers land in the right cells, with dropdowns, validation, formulas and formatting kept.
Portals of all kinds
Evident fills portals built with frames, pop-up dialogs and custom dropdowns, signs in with credentials from 1Password, and lets you choose which questionnaires to fill. Stop a run and resume it later.
RFIs and RFPs
Choose RFI or RFP at upload, and Evident answers company and product questions from your approved content, with the same sources and review.
Answers per product
Tell Evident which products a document or questionnaire covers, so answers come from that product’s evidence only.
Questionnaires that read like the file
Questions follow the order of the original file, follow-ups are numbered 9a and 9b, and Next gap takes you to the next question that needs you.
Getting better
Fewer edits on every questionnaire.
What you correct and approve makes the next questionnaire better.
Corrections become knowledge
When you fix a fact in an answer, Evident saves the fact and uses it on later questionnaires, even if no document says it.
Answer style rules
Write rules for how your answers should read. Evident suggests new rules from the edits you make.
One-time instructions
Add an instruction when you upload a questionnaire, and Evident follows it for that questionnaire only.
Pick a side when sources disagree
When two sources say different things, Evident shows both sides and the evidence behind each. Your choice can update the saved answers that relied on the other side.
Suggested answers that explain themselves
When Evident infers an answer, it says what the inference was based on, so you can accept or change it quickly.
Your team
Experts answer where they already work.
Legal, finance and engineering answer their own questions without learning a new tool.
Slack and Microsoft Teams
Upload a questionnaire, answer assigned questions, approve answers and resolve conflicts in Slack or Teams. A live card shows each questionnaire’s progress.
Open questions, one at a time
After the first pass, Evident says what it answered and why each remaining question needs you, then walks you through them with a skip on every step.
Routing and assignments
Send each topic to the right person automatically, or assign many questions at once and undo it if you picked the wrong person.
Review requests and approvals
Ask a teammate to check answers before they go out. Reminders go by email, Slack or Teams, and everyone sees a warning before downloading, sending to a portal or marking complete with unapproved answers.
Answer by voice
Answer questions by voice from anywhere. Evident can send the link to your phone.
MCP server access
Ask about your questionnaires, assignments and knowledge from any MCP client, such as Claude or Cursor, with the same permissions as the app.
Knowledge
Your documents, wherever they live.
Connect the places your team already keeps its policies, reports and docs.
Google Drive, Confluence and Notion
Sync a Shared Drive or picked files, Confluence pages, and single Notion pages or whole trees. Confluence is available on every plan.
GitHub and Drata
Sync documents from your GitHub organizations and your Drata account, so answers come from the docs your engineers and auditors already keep.
Uploads in any common format
Add PDFs, Word files and spreadsheets, plus Markdown, MDX and HTML, which are previewed and used for answers.
A Knowledge Base you can find your way around
Browse by source and folder, filter by what is shareable, and change visibility for many files at once.
Trust Center
Let buyers serve themselves.
Publish your security documents, and decide exactly who sees what, and for how long.
The right documents for each audience
Set rights per audience and per customer company, so prospects, customers and partners each see the right set.
Access that expires
Set how long buyer access lasts and how often it is reviewed. Approve requests from the app, Slack or Teams.
Watermarks
Watermark the documents buyers download, and the documents you attach to a questionnaire.
Updates and subprocessors
Post updates that subscribers get by email, and publish your subprocessor list with data types.
Your own domain
Serve your Trust Center from your own web address, and preview every change before it goes live.
Framework badges you control
Choose which framework badges appear on your public page.
Administration
Built for security teams.
The controls you expect from a tool that holds your security documents.
Roles and permissions
Each person’s role decides what they can do, from answering and approving to managing the Knowledge Base and the Trust Center. Slack, Teams and MCP follow the same permissions.
Directory sync
Bring in your people from Google Workspace or Microsoft Entra ID.
Deactivate everywhere at once
Turn off a person’s access across the web app, Slack and Teams in one step, and restore it later with their role intact.
