Ecommerce and retail technology platforms process massive volumes of sensitive data — payment information, customer identities, order histories, behavioral analytics, loyalty data, and location tracking. Because of this, vendor risk teams demand rigorous security assessments before approving any new commerce platform or integration.
Iris helps ecommerce and retail tech vendors automate these security questionnaires by centralizing compliance documentation and generating accurate, audit-ready responses with AI. The result: faster procurement cycles, fewer engineering bottlenecks, and stronger trust with enterprise retailers.
Retail systems touch numerous sensitive environments, creating complex security requirements across:
This leads to recurring pain points:

Security questionnaires are now a standard part of selling into retail — especially with rising fraud, privacy regulations, and global payment requirements. Iris helps ecommerce and retail tech teams respond quickly and accurately, accelerating deals and delivering confidence to buyers.
Iris automatically identifies every question in PCI DSS forms, SIGs, CAIQs, VSAs, Excel files, and portal assessments, then fills responses using a centralized, approved security knowledge base. Repetitive questions about payment flows, encryption, tokenization, access control, cloud architecture, SIEM logging, and fraud detection are completed instantly. SMEs review only high-risk or newly introduced items, reducing questionnaire completion time by 80–90%.
Iris centralizes PCI DSS evidence, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 documentation, encryption and secure transaction workflows, checkout and payment data-flow diagrams, API security documentation for POS/ERP/CRM integrations, fraud prevention policies, retention and privacy commitments, and cloud architecture diagrams. All documentation remains searchable, controlled, and always up to date, ensuring consistent and audit-ready responses.
Instead of rewriting the same technical and compliance language for every retailer, Iris reuses validated responses across all questionnaires. Engineering reviews only architecture-specific or nuanced items, security validates sensitive controls, and legal examines privacy sections. This eliminates repetitive work, prevents outdated answers, reduces clarification requests from retail buyers, and significantly accelerates procurement cycles.
