As an early-stage startup in the competitive AI industry, Endorsed faced the challenge of responding to security questionnaires quickly and accurately to win their first enterprise clients. By implementing Wolfia's security questionnaire and RFP automation solution, Endorsed has dramatically streamlined their response process, enabling them to compete effectively with established players in the market.

Challenge

As a new entrant in the AI-powered candidate evaluation space, Endorsed encountered several obstacles:

  • Spending up to 10 hours per week on security questionnaires
  • Struggling to maintain consistency across responses
  • Risking deals due to slow turnaround times
  • Diverting critical resources from product development and sales

With limited resources and a small team, manually responding to these inquiries was becoming a major bottleneck in their sales process, potentially hindering their ability to gain traction with enterprise clients.

Solution

To address these challenges and level the playing field with larger competitors, Endorsed implemented Wolfia's AI-powered security questionnaire and RFP automation solution. This platform enables Endorsed to:

  • Automatically generate initial drafts of responses to security questionnaires in minutes
  • Ensure 100% consistency in responses across different inquiries
  • Quickly compile relevant information from their policies and previously answered questionnaires
  • Customize responses to match their tone and level of detail
  • Update their security posture in real-time as their practices evolve

Wolfia's solution adapts to Endorsed's evolving security and compliance information, ensuring that each response reflects their current practices and policies, even as they rapidly develop and mature as a company.
