Documentation proves you have a program. Applications prove you're running it.
Policies in a shared drive don't answer questionnaires, assess vendors, track compliance, or show a board where the gaps are. Applications do. And unlike SaaS platforms, these run on your machine — your security posture data never leaves your network.
The Problems
Five things a security program needs to do — and five things a document folder can't.
A prospect sends a 200-question security questionnaire.
Your senior engineer spends two weeks copying answers from last quarter's spreadsheet. The prospect chases. The deal stalls. Sometimes it dies.
With Ridgeguard: import, match, generate, export. Same week.
790 pre-written answers match 60–80% automatically. AI fills the gaps using your company profile. Export in the original format.
An auditor asks how you manage third-party risk.
You open a spreadsheet of vendor names with no risk tiers, no assessment history, no certification tracking, and no evidence trail.
With Ridgeguard: you open a vendor register the auditor respects.
Risk tiers, assessment history, certification monitoring, contract dates, risk events, and AI-generated risk summaries. 22 assessment templates.
Your board asks "how secure are we?"
You say "pretty good" and hope nobody asks a follow-up question. You can't show them where you're strong, where you're exposed, or what you're doing about it.
With Ridgeguard: you show them a gap assessment with a remediation plan.
80 questions, category-by-category breakdown, colour-coded risk bands, and an AI-generated prioritized remediation plan. Quick wins first, strategic projects last.
Your policies exist in a shared drive. Nobody tracks whether they're current.
Your Information Security Policy is from 2023. Nobody acknowledged it. There's no evidence linking. When the auditor asks, you scramble.
With Ridgeguard: policies have a lifecycle, evidence, and acknowledgements.
15 templates. Draft → In Review → Approved → Expired → Retired. Evidence linking from assessments, audits, and training. Staff acknowledgement tracking. Approved policies auto-appear in your Trust Center.
Every new prospect asks the same 30 questions about your security posture.
You answer them individually, by email, every time. There's no public page a prospect can check before deciding to send a full questionnaire.
With Ridgeguard: publish a Trust Center in 30 minutes.
6 industry presets. Pick your frameworks, domains, policies, and common questions. Export standalone HTML. Host it on your site. Prospects self-serve. Some skip the questionnaire entirely.
Available Now
Ridgeguard — Security Posture Management
In 30 days you'll have questionnaires answered, vendors assessed, policies tracked, gaps measured, and a Trust Center published. Not because you hired a consultant or bought a $30,000 platform — because you installed a $299/year application that does what those things do, on your machine, with your data staying local.
Questionnaire response
Import a 200-question spreadsheet. The TF-IDF matching engine auto-fills 60–80% from 790 pre-written answers across 25 categories. AI generates the rest using your company profile. Export in the original format. Your competitor is still scheduling a meeting to discuss who should answer it.
Vendor risk register
Every vendor has a risk tier, assessment history, certification dates, contract tracking, and risk event logging. 22 assessment templates covering 505 questions. AI generates board-ready risk summaries. When the auditor asks "how do you manage third-party risk?" — you show them this.
Policy governance
15 built-in templates. Full lifecycle: Draft → In Review → Approved → Expired → Retired. Evidence linking from assessments, audits, and training. Staff acknowledgement tracking. Approved policies auto-appear in your Trust Center. Your policies have a paper trail — not a last-modified date from 2023.
Gap assessment
80 questions across 11 categories. Colour-coded risk bands. AI generates a prioritized remediation plan — quick wins this week, projects this quarter, strategic initiatives this year. When the board asks "how secure are we?" you answer with a percentage and a plan, not a promise.
Trust Center
6 industry presets. Pick frameworks, domains, policies, and common questions. Export standalone HTML. Host it at trust.yourcompany.com. Prospects check your posture before they send a questionnaire. Some skip it entirely. That's the highest-leverage security investment a small company can make.
AI that knows your company
10 providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure, Mistral, Groq, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Ollama, Custom). Your key, stored in your OS keychain, calls go direct. AI auto-completes questionnaires, generates remediation plans, and writes vendor risk summaries — all using your company profile for context.
