200+ security questions from a customer: how do you handle it?

Short answer

At 200+ questions, copy-paste is no longer a reliable process. Centralize approved answers, link them to evidence and route only genuine exceptions to the right experts.

Current market signal

Recent practitioner reports describe questionnaires with 186, 256 or several hundred questions and teams handling multiple security reviews every week.

Community reports are anecdotal signals, not universal benchmarks.

Important: what this does not solve
