How Iris Automates RFPs and Security Reviews

For many go-to-market (GTM) teams, RFPs and security questionnaires represent the invisible work that makes or breaks a deal. While they rarely take center stage, they are increasingly required earlier in the sales process—not just in enterprise deals but across mid-market and even SMB cycles. Yet, for most companies, responding to these requests remains a manual, time-consuming burden that slows momentum and delays revenue.

Why RFP and Security Questionnaire Automation Matters

Traditional RFP software and knowledge management tools offer point-in-time enablement—static libraries of past responses that quickly become outdated. The result? Sales engineers, solutions consultants, and account executives are still scrambling to find the right answers, often relying on Slack threads, shared drives, or manual input from subject matter experts.

Iris solves this with real-time enablement through our Slack-based AI agent, allowing revenue teams to:
✅ Automate RFP and security questionnaire responses using AI-driven contextual search.
✅ Surface the right answers instantly within Slack—where teams already work.
✅ Reduce sales cycle friction by enabling customer-facing teams to self-serve accurate information without bottlenecking internal experts.

RFP & Security Questionnaire Automation for GTM Teams

For many go-to-market (GTM) teams, RFPs and security questionnaires represent the invisible work that makes or breaks a deal. While they rarely take center stage, they are increasingly required earlier in the sales process—not just in enterprise deals but across mid-market and even SMB cycles. Yet, for most companies, responding to these requests remains a manual, time-consuming burden that slows momentum and delays revenue.

Traditional tools often fall short, offering static content repositories that quickly become outdated. AI-powered RFP software like Iris changes that. With our Slack-based AI agent, revenue teams can:

• Automate RFP and security questionnaire responses using AI-driven contextual search
• Surface the right answers instantly within Slack—where teams already work
• Reduce sales cycle friction by enabling customer-facing teams to self-serve accurate information without bottlenecking internal experts

Ben Hills, founder of Iris, explains: “RFPs and security questionnaires are often viewed as a compliance task, but they’re actually a core part of the sales process—a critical inflection point that determines whether a deal moves forward or stalls out. The problem is, traditional approaches don’t account for how fast-moving GTM teams actually work. That’s why we built Iris—to provide on-time enablement, not just static repositories that are rarely used when it matters most.”

By embedding AI into where your team works every day, you eliminate inefficiencies, reduce manual effort, and ensure your best answers are always accessible, accurate, and ready to deploy—no matter the format or the deadline.
