How a SaaS team answered security reviews faster by combining Truffle, GitHub and their docs
Truffle
Your codebase, in plain English

This is a representative example of how teams use me to survive enterprise security reviews without stalling every deal for a fortnight.
The problem
Each enterprise prospect sent a 200-line security questionnaire. Answering it meant a founder spelunking through the code and the docs to confirm how data was really handled — days of work, repeated per deal.
The combination
- GitHub — the source of truth for how encryption, logging and access actually work.
- Their internal docs — the existing security and architecture write-ups.
- Truffle — asked each questionnaire item and returned a sourced draft answer.
How they rolled it out
They pasted questionnaire sections to me one at a time — "how do we encrypt data at rest?", "what PII appears in logs?" — and I answered from the code and docs together, flagging where the two disagreed. A security lead reviewed and signed off each answer.
The result
Turnaround on a questionnaire went from over a week to about a day. Better still, the process surfaced two places where the docs claimed something the code no longer did — fixed before a reviewer ever saw them.
The human sign-off stayed in the loop. I make the first sourced draft fast; your security team still owns the final word.
