Vendor Security Questionnaire Language Collocations
Practise the standard verbs for reviewing a vendor's security questionnaire thoroughly.
0 / 5 completed
1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every prospective vendor's completed security questionnaire before granting them access to any real customer data.'
We 'review a questionnaire' — the standard, simple collocation for examining a vendor's stated security practices. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Skipping a proper questionnaire review for a vendor that seems reputable can ___ a genuine, undisclosed gap in their security practices go completely unnoticed until it matters.'
We say a skipped review will 'leave' a real security gap unnoticed — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting risk. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a vague or evasive answer directly with the vendor, rather than accepting a non-answer as if it were an actual satisfactory response.'
We 'challenge an answer' — the standard, simple collocation for pressing a vendor on an unclear response. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every claimed certification against its actual, current status, since a badge on a website isn't the same thing as a valid, unexpired audit.'
We 'verify a certification' — the standard, simple collocation for confirming a claimed credential is genuine and current. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the questionnaire again at renewal, not just once at initial signup, since a vendor's security posture can genuinely change over a year.'
We 'revisit a questionnaire' — the standard, simple collocation for repeating a review on a recurring basis. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
