Enterprise Solo Pack: Trust Center + CAIQ‑Lite Answer Library + SSO Add‑On Pricing One‑Pager

Copy‑paste pack for solo operators to stand up a procurement‑ready Trust Center, a CAIQ‑Lite–mapped answer library with an autofill + approval flow, and a client‑facing SSO add‑on one‑pager with clear scope and SLAs.

Copy this pack into Notion or Markdown and tailor it to your service. It gives you (1) a public‑facing Trust Center, (2) a CAIQ‑Lite–mapped answer library you can autofill into questionnaires with Make/n8n and then approve, and (3) a client‑ready one‑pager that cleanly prices an SSO add‑on with clear scope boundaries and SLA tiers. Everything uses [BRACKETS] for fields you fill in.

How to use this pack (5‑minute setup)

  • Duplicate this document into your workspace.
  • Fill anything in [BRACKETS] before you publish.
  • Keep the Trust Center public; keep evidence behind an NDA gate.
  • Use the Answer Library for fast questionnaire turnaround; every autofilled answer must pass a human approval gate.
  • If a buyer requests a formal registry listing, prepare your escalation pack (see the STAR L1 section).

CAIQ‑Lite Answer Library (CSV/Notion schema)

Create a single source of truth for answers you’ll reuse across questionnaires. You can store it as a CSV, a Notion database, or both.

Recommended fields (CSV headers or Notion properties):

  • [QUESTION_ID] (text) — CAIQ‑Lite question ID if applicable
  • [CCM_DOMAIN] (select) — e.g., IAM, A&A, IS, DCS, BCR, etc.
  • [CONTROL_ID] (text) — CCM control reference if mapped
  • [QUESTION_TEXT] (rich text) — the canonical question
  • [STANDARD_ANSWER] (rich text) — your approved default answer
  • [SCOPE_NOTES] (text) — what’s in/out of scope; exceptions
  • [EVIDENCE_URL] (url) — link to gated evidence (NDA)
  • [OWNER] (person/text) — accountable reviewer
  • [LAST_REVIEWED_AT] (date) — YYYY‑MM‑DD
  • [APPROVAL_STATUS] (select) — Draft, Approved, Needs Update
  • [AUTOFILL_ALIAS] (multi‑text) — synonyms/short prompts used by bots
  • [KEYWORDS] (multi‑text) — aid search and fuzzy match
  • [NDA_REQUIRED] (checkbox)
  • [TAG_RISK_LEVEL] (select) — Low, Moderate, High
  • [REVISION_NOTES] (text)

Sample row (illustrative):

  • QUESTION_ID: [CL‑IAM‑Q12]
  • CCM_DOMAIN: IAM
  • CONTROL_ID: [CCM‑IAM‑12]
  • QUESTION_TEXT: "Do you support SSO? Which protocols and IdPs?"
  • STANDARD_ANSWER: "Yes — SAML 2.0 and OIDC. We support Okta, Entra ID, and Google Workspace. SCIM 2.0 available for user provisioning on [PLANS]."
  • SCOPE_NOTES: "SSO is an add‑on; covers up to [N_APPS] apps in scope; additional apps billed per scope change."
  • EVIDENCE_URL: [EVIDENCE_LINK_SSO_GUIDE]
  • OWNER: [NAME]
  • LAST_REVIEWED_AT: [YYYY‑MM‑DD]
  • APPROVAL_STATUS: Approved
  • AUTOFILL_ALIAS: ["SSO","SAML","OIDC","Okta","Entra","Google"]
  • KEYWORDS: ["identity","login","SSO","SCIM"]
  • NDA_REQUIRED: [TRUE|FALSE]
  • TAG_RISK_LEVEL: Low
  • REVISION_NOTES: "Added SCIM limits and IdP list."

Tip: Keep answers short (3–6 sentences), then link to evidence. Never paste PDFs into forms; link to your portal with context.

Make/n8n Autofill + Human‑Approval flow (spec)

Use this to pre‑populate questionnaires and route for human approval before sending back to the buyer.

Flow outline:

  1. Intake
  • Trigger: inbound email to [QUESTIONNAIRE_ALIAS@DOMAIN] or portal upload form.
  • Parse: detect type [CAIQ_LITE|CAIQ_V4_1|SIG_LITE|XLSX_CUSTOM|PORTAL_LINK].
  • Create work item: [WORK_ID] with metadata (buyer name, due date, risk level, NDA status).
  1. Normalize
  • If spreadsheet: convert to CSV; if portal: capture page list/screenshots to [EVIDENCE_BUCKET].
  • Extract questions to a table: [EXTRACTED_QS] with columns [Q_ID_GUESS], [Q_TEXT], [SECTION], [BUYER_NOTES].
  1. Match
  • For each [Q_TEXT], compute fuzzy score against [AUTOFILL_ALIAS] and [QUESTION_TEXT].
  • Matching rules: exact alias > 0.92; semantic match > 0.88; otherwise flag as Unmatched.
  • If multiple candidates within 0.03, require manual pick.
  1. Draft answers
  • Pull [STANDARD_ANSWER], append buyer‑specific modifiers from [BUYER_NOTES] where safe.
  • Insert links to [EVIDENCE_URL] placeholders.
  • Stamp [DRAFTED_AT] and [DRAFTER_BOT_VERSION].
  1. Human approval
  • Route the drafted table to [REVIEWER_NAME] in Notion or an approval UI with buttons: Approve, Edit, Reject, Needs Evidence.
  • Block any answer with [APPROVAL_STATUS != Approved] in library or missing [EVIDENCE_URL] when [NDA_REQUIRED = TRUE].
  1. Export and send
  • Rehydrate into buyer’s template (CSV/XLSX) or paste answers into portal.
  • Send cover note with Trust Center link, SSO scope note, and escalation path.
  • Archive full run (inputs, approved outputs, artifacts) to [EVIDENCE_BUCKET]/[WORK_ID].

Make/n8n node sketch:

  • Webhook/Ingest → File Parser → Type Classifier → Library Lookup (Notion/CSV) → Fuzzy Match (code) → Draft Composer → Approvals (manual trigger/task) → Exporter (CSV/XLSX/Portal API if available) → Email/Slack Notify → Archive to Storage.

Boundaries and defaults:

  • Default turnaround: [24‑48_HOURS]; escalations: [FULL_CAIQ_V4_1_PATH_ON_REQUEST].
  • Never auto‑send without human approval.
  • Redact secrets; link evidence instead of attaching.
  • Log metrics per run: time to first draft, approval cycles, final duration.

STAR Level 1 escalation (CAIQ v4.1) — internal prep

Use this section when a buyer asks for a formal registry listing or a full questionnaire variant.

  • Artifact to prep: [CAIQ_V4_1_STAR_L1_SHEET_LINK]
  • Mapping: maintain a crosswalk table [CAIQ_LITE_Q_ID] → [CAIQ_V4_1_Q_ID_LIST] so you can expand answers quickly.
  • Public listing (optional): prepare [STAR_L1_PUBLIC_SUMMARY] and decide whether to list immediately or share privately.
  • Evidence pack: [SOC2_SUMMARY|ISO_CERT|PEN_TEST_SUMMARY] links under NDA.
  • Owner and SLA: [ESCALATION_OWNER], target [BUSINESS_DAYS] business days to complete.
  • Buyer message template: "We publish a Trust Center and a streamlined CAIQ‑Lite library for rapid reviews. If you require a formal STAR Level 1 sheet or full CAIQ v4.1, we can deliver via this escalation path within [BUSINESS_DAYS] business days."

Client‑facing one‑pager — Core + SSO add‑on + SLA tiers

Share this one‑pager during the demo and attach it to proposals. Keep it to one page.

Optional Add‑On: SSO Configuration

  • Supported IdPs: [OKTA|ENTRA_ID|GOOGLE_WORKSPACE]
  • Protocols: [SAML_2_0|OIDC]; Provisioning: [SCIM_2_0]
  • In scope: connect up to [N_APPS] applications; map [N_GROUPS] groups/claims; test with [N_TEST_USERS] users
  • Out of scope: new IdP procurement, custom SSO for legacy apps without standards, mobile SDK changes
  • Customer inputs: admin access (temporary), metadata/XML/JSON, test users, desired claim schema
  • Deliverables: configured app(s), IdP‑side config, test plan + results, runbook, rollback notes
  • Timeline: [DAYS_TO_DELIVER] business days
  • Fixed fee: [PRICE_SSO_ADDON_USD]

SLA Tiers (choose one):

  • Standard: responses [BUSINESS_HOURS_STD] h, fixes [BUSINESS_DAYS_STD] d — included

  • Premium: responses [BUSINESS_HOURS_PRE] h, fixes [BUSINESS_DAYS_PRE] d — add [PRICE_PREMIUM_USD]

Scope Guardrails (bold these in the doc):

  • Changes in number of apps, IdPs, or non‑standard protocols trigger a scope change.
  • Evidence remains NDA‑gated; we do not share raw reports via email.
  • All questionnaire answers pass human approval before delivery.

Proof chips (swap with your real data):

  • "90‑day uptime [UPTIME_90D_PERCENT]%"
  • "p95 latency [P95_MS] ms"
  • "Questionnaire turnaround [HOURS_TO_DELIVER] h"

Signature block:

  • Valid through: [VALID_THROUGH_DATE]
  • Contact: [NAME], [ROLE], [EMAIL]
