Assessment template library

The questionnaire library is used to store and create questionnaire templates for your assessments.

Questionnaire template types

We distinguish two types of assessment templates in the current release of our platform:

Your questionnaires
The best-practice questionnaires from the platform (3rdRisk content hub)

Assessment template setup

Every assessment questionnaire template has the same setup:

Assessment title
- An assessment consists of one or more domains to group-related questions
  - Per domain, you have one or more questions

When you want to assess the third party, you can select the different relevant domains. E.g. this allows you to only send out all the questions from the domain physical security, and leave out logical access, to your physical security contractor.

Your questionnaires

Navigate to: Left side menu: Content - Questionnaires

Every questionnaire has a unique version number (it will automatically increment when you add a new version) and consists of different domains, e.g. ISO 27001 has asset management, logical access management, physical security etc.

Update a questionnaire template

When you have an updated questionnaire, you can add this one as a new one. The platform will automatically increment the version number.

Data integrity
Please note that the platform will always keep old versions of your questionnaires, and you cannot alter existing questionnaires. This is because these questionnaires might already be used within historical assessments; thus, we cannot remove or edit these questionnaires from a data integrity perspective.

Remove a questionnaire template.

Please note that in the current platform release, removing a questionnaire template is impossible. You have the option of not using it or contacting our support department if you need to have the template removed.
