Stop letting a questionnaire stall the deal.
Selling upmarket means answering how you control access, which vendors touch customer data, and how fast a leaver loses their accounts. Those answers live in your register, so the questionnaire stops being a week of chasing colleagues.

The first enterprise deal usually stalls in the same place: a security questionnaire asking how access is granted and reviewed, which sub-processors touch customer data, where that data is hosted, and how quickly a departing employee loses their accounts. Those are register questions. When the register is live and owned, answering them is reading, not investigating, and the same answers hold the next time somebody asks.
The questions are always the same, the scramble is always new
Security questionnaires and vendor reviews don’t just ask who has access. They ask which vendors hold your customers’ data, whether those vendors are certified, where the data physically sits, and what your removal process looks like when someone leaves.
Without one place holding tools, owners, access, and vendor posture together, each questionnaire becomes a round of internal messages, a stale spreadsheet, and a set of answers assembled from memory. The deal waits, and the next questionnaire starts from nothing again.
Who has access, right now
The access section answers itself: the current holders of every tool, at what level, granted by whom and when. Not a point-in-time export you took last quarter, the live state.
Your sub-processor list, current
Flag the tools that process personal data, record their certifications and data-hosting region, and export the register as CSV, Word, or PDF. The sub-processor question, and the DPA that follows it, stop being a document somebody has to rewrite.
A removal story you can evidence
Offboarding runs against a completion window and every removal is recorded, so "how quickly is access revoked" has a real answer with a real trail behind it rather than a policy sentence.
The result, The security review stops being the reason the deal slipped a month.
One register, several audiences
The auditor, the enterprise buyer, and your own risk review ask overlapping questions in different formats. Keeping one live register and exporting from it means the three never disagree, which is where credibility is usually lost: a questionnaire answer that contradicts an audit export is worse than a slow reply.
The compliance register and its exports are a Business capability, and per-tool compliance fields are on every plan. As always, what you record is what you assert. Driply gives each tool a structured home for its posture; it does not audit your vendors or verify their certifications on your behalf.
Driply documents and proves access. It doesn’t provision or revoke inside your tools, and by design never writes to them. You stay in control of the actual access.
Questions, answered.
- Does Driply fill in the questionnaire for us?
- No. It holds the answers to the access and vendor sections in one current place, and exports them. You still write the submission, but you are copying from a live record rather than chasing five people.
- Can we export a sub-processor list for customers?
- Yes. The compliance register exports as CSV, Word, or PDF, listing each tool that processes personal data with its certifications and hosting region. That is a Business capability.
- How does this differ from the audit use case?
- An auditor tests whether a control operated over a period. A customer asks what your posture is today and who your vendors are. Same register, different export.
