The Standard Information Gathering (SIG) Questionnaire

Automate the collection and analysis of SIG questionnaire responses

The Standard Information Gathering (SIG) questionnaire is a third-party risk assessment curated by Shared Assessments. Available in Core, Lite and Custom versions, the SIG enables organizations to leverage an industry-standard library of vetted questions that measure risk across 21 domains and four key subjects. By mapping each question to multiple controls and regulatory requirements, it enables organizations to simplify and standardize their third-party risk management and compliance initiatives.

Prevalent offers both the SIG Core and SIG Lite questionnaires as part of our Third-Party Risk Management Platform, providing analytics and additional control mappings and remediation guidance for SIG users. Additionally, Prevalent leverages the SIG as content for the Prevalent Exchange Network and Prevalent Legal Vendor Network.
