RFP and Compliance Questionnaire Automation for Financial Services Teams
Financial institutions face relentless volumes of regulatory questionnaires, outsourced service provider DDQs, high-stakes RFPs and vendor assurance checklists. Cognaire Respond automates these complex responses using governed corpus content, cutting risk exposure while dramatically accelerating turnaround cycles.
Answers you can trust, built for your workflow
Cognaire Respond combines knowledge automation, semantic search, and real-time reasoning to ensure every question is answered accurately and aligned with your unique content and compliance guidelines.
Risk and compliance SMEs are routinely buried under repeated DDQs from customers, partners and internal oversight teams. Respond retrieves only approved documents through the corpus → domain → unit hierarchy, eliminating manual rewriting and freeing SMEs to focus on higher-value analysis.
Banking, insurance and wealth teams must complete exhaustive regulatory forms (APRA, FCA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, SOX, Basel-aligned DDQs and internal assurance packs). Respond uses governed corpus content, topic-level AI rules and a multi-stage AI pipeline to produce accurate, traceable, regulator-safe responses.
