Every buyer's DDQ looks different. Your answers shouldn't have to start over.
There's no single vendor due diligence template — every security and procurement team builds their own. Govarna reads the structure of whatever you're sent and drafts from an answer library that grows every time you respond.

A template-matching tool doesn't help when there's no template.
Some buyers send SIG or CAIQ. Most send something a risk analyst built in-house — a Word doc with numbered questions, a spreadsheet with a custom column layout, or a due diligence questionnaire (DDQ) written for their specific industry. Financial services and healthcare buyers are especially likely to run their own format, and it rarely matches the one you answered last month.
Building a tool that only works on one named template solves a narrow slice of this. The actual leverage is an answer library that survives the format changing underneath it — so the fortieth DDQ takes less work than the first, no matter who sent it.
Built to work on the DDQ you've never seen before.
- 1Detects structure, not a template
Numbered lists, bullets, pasted spreadsheet columns, or an uploaded file’s question column — Govarna extracts questions from the shape of the document, not a match against a fixed layout.
- 2Drafts from your answer library
Each question is matched to your approved answers (paid workspace) or a curated generic library (free tool), with a confidence label so weak matches are flagged, not hidden.
- 3The library compounds across buyers
An answer approved for one buyer’s DDQ is available for the next one— different format, same underlying question, no rewriting from scratch.
What this handles, and what it doesn't.
- Named formats: SIG, SIG-Lite, CAIQ
- Bespoke buyer DDQs — Word, PDF text, or spreadsheet
- Numbered lists, bullets, or pasted CSV/TSV
- Any file where questions sit in a detectable column or structure
- Direct integration with third-party vendor-risk portals
- Questions embedded only as scanned images with no extractable text
- Answering without a human review step — every draft needs sign-off
Questions teams ask before they try it.
What counts as a vendor security or due diligence questionnaire (DDQ)?
Any structured set of questions a buyer sends to assess your company before or during a contract — covering security, privacy, AI use, business continuity, and financial stability. Some follow a named standard like SIG or CAIQ; most enterprise buyers, especially in financial services and healthcare, send a bespoke DDQ built by their own risk or procurement team.
We get a different template from every buyer. Does Govarna need to be configured per template?
No. Govarna detects questions from structure — numbered lists, bullets, pasted spreadsheet columns, or a question column in an uploaded file — rather than matching against a fixed template. A new bespoke DDQ from a buyer you’ve never seen works the same way as one you’ve answered ten times.
Does this integrate with our vendor risk management platform?
Not directly today. Govarna doesn’t connect to third-party VRM tools like a procurement portal or vendor-risk suite. It works on the questionnaire file itself — pasted text on the free tool, or an uploaded XLSX/DOCX on the paid workspace — regardless of which system it originated from.
How is this different from a generic AI writing tool?
Answers are matched from a response library — your approved answers on the paid workspace, a curated generic library on the free tool — not generated freehand. Every match carries a confidence label, so a weak match is shown as needing review rather than presented as a confident answer.
Can we reuse an answer we wrote for one buyer's DDQ on the next one?
Yes — that’s the core mechanic on the paid workspace. An approved answer joins your library and gets suggested the next time a semantically similar question appears, regardless of which buyer or format it came from.
Is this legal or compliance advice?
No. Govarna is software; drafted content is informational and requires review and approval by your team before it goes back to a buyer.
