A security-questionnaire question, answered without certification

What is your password policy?

The honest answer pattern

Describe the real practice: password manager use, unique credentials per system, and MFA on critical accounts says more than a recycled complexity policy. If customers authenticate via an identity provider, state that their password policy is inherited from it. Keep the answer scoped to systems you actually control.

What a credible answer looks like

A credible answer is specific and current-tense only where it's true: it names your actual provider and systems, states what is in place today, and moves anything that isn't into a clearly labelled roadmap item instead of an aspirational “yes”. Reviewers read dozens of these a quarter — vague assurances are what get a vendor flagged, not missing certifications.

You can see this pattern applied end-to-end in the full sample security pack — a real trust page, three policies, and an answer bank generated by the same pipeline a paying customer uses, shown without any email gate.

The facts your answer needs (from the Trustpack intake):

  • Is 2FA enforced for staff accounts on critical systems?
  • Who can access production systems and customer data?
  • Do you offer SSO to customers?

Answer the whole questionnaire, not one row

Trustpack turns your own attested answers into three security policies, a copy-paste answer bank covering the canonical questionnaire topics, and a live public trust page. Every document is vendor-attested and says so plainly — it never claims certification. Flat $49, one time.
