Word, PDF, RFPs and other forms

Rendro isn't only for security questionnaires. When you upload a file you choose what kind of form it is: security questionnaire, RFP, due-diligence questionnaire or vendor onboarding form. The kind changes the style of the answers. It doesn't change the rule: answers come only from your own documents, each with its source, and anything your documents can't support is marked Needs review.

  • Excel (.xlsx): comes back as your original workbook with answers in the answer cells; tabs, dropdowns, merged cells and formulas stay as they were.
  • CSV: comes back as a CSV with the answers added.
  • Word (.docx): comes back as the same Word file, with answers in the answer cells of a table or under each question.
  • PDF: comes back as an Excel answer sheet in the same order as the questions, because a PDF can't be filled in reliably. Scanned PDFs (pictures of text) can't be read yet.

Old .xls and .doc files need to be re-saved as .xlsx or .docx first. Forms that only live inside a web portal (OneTrust, Ariba and the like) aren't supported yet: copy the questions into a spreadsheet or Word file to use Rendro on them.

Not sure how your file will come out? Email the blank form to team@rendro.net with the subject "Free draft" and we'll answer the first 25 questions free, so you can judge the result. See the free sample. Details on the RFP, due-diligence and vendor onboarding pages.
