SaaSDossier

Independent documentation research

Before the questionnaire arrives, know what the vendor has already published.

The vendor's own record, made reviewable.

SaaSDossier records what a SaaS vendor publishes about its security across 55 fields reviewed — each line carrying the source it came from, and marked either Documented or Question surfaced. A dated record of the published evidence, never a judgment.

This is the mechanism. Every line reads like this — the vendor's words, or your next question.

What the record covers: security, privacy, AI data use, subprocessors, data retention, and incident terms — as published by the vendor, with the source shown for every line.

The released dossiers

Four records. Released and reviewed.

True counts, taken straight from each released dossier. See what each vendor publishes — and the questions to ask next.

What a dossier is

One finished record.
Every line accountable.

A finished PDF record of what a software vendor publishes about its security, privacy, and compliance — the vendor's own record, made reviewable. One structured, source-linked document, not a folder of raw links.

The moment it's built for

Built for the moment before.

Walk into the vendor call with the vendor's own published record already organized, and your follow-up questions already clear.

The two-state model

Two states. No third. No judgment.

Every field lands in exactly one of two states. Color is never the only signal — each is labelled in words.

Documented

The field was found in the vendor's published sources, quoted and cited in the vendor's own words.

Question surfaced

Not identified in the vendor-published sources reviewed. This does not establish absence of the control.

What you receive

A fixed 55-field evidence record, four ways in.

  • Ledger
    Evidence ledgerAll 55 fields, each in one of two states, the vendor's own words quoted and cited where Documented.
  • Register
    Source registerEvery vendor-published page reviewed, listed with its URL — each line traces back to where it was found.
  • Integrity
    Integrity recordEach dossier includes a SHA-256 identifier tied to the reviewed evidence record used for that release.
  • Questions
    Buyer-ready follow-upsThe questions to ask the vendor, drafted from every Question surfaced — field-level, ready to send in writing.
Human review + machine use

Every released dossier is designed for both human review and machine use: PDF for the meeting, JSON/CSV for filing, search, and GRC workflows.

How it's built

Checked against the source record before release.

Each dossier is built only from vendor-published sources reviewed at the time of preparation. Documented fields quote and cite those sources. Fields not established in them are surfaced as buyer-ready follow-up questions — never as a judgment.

Discipline of record
  • SourcesVendor-published pages only — nothing inferred, nothing borrowed.
  • StatesDocumented / Question surfaced. Nothing else exists.
  • SealSHA-256 integrity record on every released file.
  • ReviewReviewed before release, against the source register.

A single vendor review cycle can take hours or days across procurement, GRC, legal, and security. SaaSDossier compresses the vendor-published evidence into a source-linked record your team can review before the call.

Questions

Frequently asked.

What is a SaaSDossier?+

A finished PDF record of what a software vendor publishes about its security, privacy, and compliance — the vendor's own record, made reviewable. Every field is either Documented, with the vendor's words quoted and cited, or a Question surfaced for you to raise. One structured, source-linked document, not a folder of raw links.

What do “Documented” and “Question surfaced” mean?+

The only two states. Documented means the field was found in the vendor's published sources, quoted and cited. Question surfaced means: “Not identified in the vendor-published sources reviewed. This does not establish absence of the control.” A prompt for your own follow-up, never a judgment.

Does a dossier decide whether a vendor is good or bad?+

No. A dossier records what the vendor publishes — nothing more. There is no third state and no number that says good or bad. It gives you the vendor's own record so you can reach your own conclusion.

Does a SaaSDossier replace a SOC 2 report or security questionnaire?+

No. SaaSDossier is the buyer-side evidence layer before or alongside those steps. It organizes what the vendor has already published across 55 fields, links each Documented field to its source, and turns fields not established in the reviewed sources into questions for the vendor. It does not certify, approve, or determine whether a vendor is suitable for your organization.

Why pay when vendor trust-center pages may be free?+

You are not paying for access to a public webpage. You are paying for the finished, dated evidence record: the relevant sources gathered, the evidence organized across a fixed framework, each Documented line linked to its source, unresolved fields turned into buyer-ready questions, and the record reviewed before release.

What questions should I ask a SaaS vendor before a security review?+

Every dossier gathers buyer-ready follow-up questions from its Question surfaced fields — field-level questions your team can send to the vendor in writing, before a call, security review, procurement approval, or renewal.

Can I request a vendor you haven't released?+

Yes. Use the vendor search above — if the record isn't released yet, tell us what you are reviewing. We use request volume to decide future dossiers.

How should my team use a Licensed Edition?+

Use it as an internal evidence record before vendor calls, procurement review, GRC/security review, renewal decisions, or consultant client work.

Can I see the format before licensing?+

Yes — in full. The OpenAI Public Edition is free and complete: the same framework, ledger, source register and integrity record as every Licensed Edition. The clearest way to inspect the format before licensing a vendor dossier.

SaaSDossier is independent documentation research. It is not an audit, certification, rating, legal opinion, vendor approval, or a substitute for professional vendor-risk, legal, procurement, GRC, vCISO, or security review.
