# Whistic Reviews **Vendor:** Whistic **Category:** [Vendor Security and Privacy Assessment Software](https://www.g2.com/categories/vendor-security-and-privacy-assessment) **Average Rating:** 4.6/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 52 ## About Whistic Whistic is the fastest and most efficient way to exchange, evaluate, and manage security information — whether you’re assessing third-party vendors or responding to customer questionnaires.

Simple Overview of Supplier Documentation **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kino V. **Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2026 **What do you like best about Whistic?** I find Whistic easy to search and see potential for many more service providers to be connected to it. I appreciate the overview of relevant SOC-2 reports, periodic security assessments, and information security policies that can all be found in one place. It is easy to install and I am glad that there is multi-factor authentication (MFA) on the website login. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** I see a number of our other suppliers and I don't know how to request the same insight. A quick video tour of the solution would be great. I see many areas that I haven't explored yet. It would be nice to understand the why and usability of those functionalities. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Whistic to verify vendor assessments and reports. It gathers all the latest versions of documentation in one place and allows us to view relevant SOC-2 reports and security assessments. Vendors manage their information better with watermarks on downloaded files. ### 2. Outstanding Customer Service and Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2025 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Whistic’s customer service is top-tier. They are very personable, clearly explain concepts, and swiftly offer solutions. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** “Dislike” is a strong term here, but the Knowledge Base could be more organized. The ability to create folders would be very helpful. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our TPRM program used to be endless spreadsheet reviews. Managing those was time consuming and it was difficult to review legacy information. Sharing our security documentation and an endless email tag among internal teams and the customer. Whistic allows us to amalgamate resources and automate permissions. ### 3. Effortless Risk Assessments and Outstanding Support with Whistic **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2025 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Whistic is relatively easy to use from both the analyst perspective, as well as the vendor's perspective. The AI works very well when vendor's submit adequate documentation and answers are well supported with accurate sources. This tool has helped our organization produce faster risk assessment results, improve risk outcomes, and support continuous monitoring across the entire vendor portfolio. Whistic's customer support team is also an extremely valuable resource to our organization. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** Since Whistic doesn't allow domain level risk assessments, the process to gather evidence and sequence it to run the AI is manual, which can lead to errors. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Implementation of AI within the organization. ### 4. Comprehensive Features, But Needs to Keep Up with Competitors **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Loren B. | Senior Vice President of Risk, Quality and Compliance, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2025 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Very thorough and well thought through product -- both on the evidence vault and the vendor assessment components **What do you dislike about Whistic?** Need to stay current with the "table stakes" offered by their competitors, such as the public trust profile, the continuous monitoring of vendors, etc. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** 3rd party vendor management, evidence vault of auditors who do not have their own vault, and finding out where certain controls live in our policies and procedures ### 5. Save time on 3rd party risk assessments **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2025 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Compared to other TPRM solutions, Whistic is very easy to use and saves a ton of time on assessments. Their Trust Catalog model includes a lot of vendors and their security documents to streamline the assessment. For vendors who haven't contributed, it's easy to send requests and questionnaires based on many different assessment frameworks. The AI features allow you to upload audit reports and security documents of any kind and assess them against the framework of your choice. Their implementation services and support are top notch. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** Sometimes the docs provided by the vendor aren't kept up to date, but that's really not a Whistic issue so much as it's the vendors. It easy enough to upload updated docs. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** 3rd party risk assessments can be very time consuming. Whistic helps streamline the process. ### 6. The future of TPRM **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tim . | Procurement Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2025 **What do you like best about Whistic?** The vendor catalog is a tremendous time saver for due diligence. It gives me the ability to quickly find and search some of our key indicators. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** Simpler access to trust catalogs. It may be more of a responsibility of the vendors themselves, but we all need a standard NDA or agreement that allows us to share critical information with each other faster. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quick and fast supplier/vendor assessments for due diligence and continuous monitoring. ### 7. Good tool for vendor management **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bogdan M. | Information Security Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2024 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Vendor management inventory, documenting and followups. Ability to send custom questionnaires. Automation and scheduling of questionnaires. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** The UI/UX needs to improve a bit, it's not very intuitive. Also the help menu should contain a lot more details as the learning curve is awful. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Anual reviews of reports from customers, just schedule the task, no more manual emails asking the customers for SOC2, ISO reports. Supply chain security questions, just create a quiz and send it to relevant vendors. ### 8. Ease of Use, Flexible, Intuitive and Comprehensive. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brian K. | Operations Manager & Systems Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 05, 2024 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Ease of Use, Easy to Maintain and Clarity of Action Buttons. Support is immediate and efficient. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** Really there is nothing I dislike about Whistic. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Implementation of the Whistic Profiles reduces the number of Security Questionnaires annually required by Customers and Prrospects. ### 9. Whistic for Vendor Risk Management **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2024 **What do you like best about Whistic?** The thing I like most about whistic is how seamlessly everything integrates together. The issues, the trust catalog, reporting on vendor entries. It took what used to be a process spanning multiple spreadsheets and make it whole into one centralized location. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** I'm stretching here trying to find a negative, but if anything, the only true negative is the current risk recon integration. It's handy having the high level scores, but having the ability to potentially drill down into the issues or findings would be a fantastic addition. Otherwise, regarding whistic itself, there is nothing that I truly dislike! **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Overall time to conduct a vendor assessment (decreased significantly coming from our previous processes), increased transparency in seeing how far along a vendor is in completing their questionnaire, and improved communication with the vendor via the clarification requests directly through the platform. ### 10. A great tool for evaluating your vendors and showing your client's how you protect their information **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pablo C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 09, 2023 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Sending security questionnaires it's easy and fast. The profiles sent to clients can be customized well. It is easy to evaluate and manage your vendors. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** The whistic profiles can be a improved to be more to have a better UI. Sometimes the usage it's a little bit confusing. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's allows us to manage our vendor review process much easily. It has saved a lot of time allowing us to share standard questionnaires along with documentation with clients without having to answer questionnaires. ### 11. Reliable and Simple Platform for Third Party Vendor Risk Management **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2024 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Mostly that vendors and customers that we've worked with have had absolutely no issues accessing attestation and certifcation documents. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** Slight amount of friction in that customers neeed to create an account before accessing Whistic **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allows customers and vendors to self service their requirements for accessing compliance documentation. ### 12. Impressive **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Isikeze Medua N. | Industrial Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2024 **What do you like best about Whistic?** I think it is impressive. I am comfortable. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** None for now. I am comfortable and in a good place with it. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** risk mitigation ### 13. Whistle in general **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 10, 2024 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Helpful, convenient, I learned how to use it quickly **What do you dislike about Whistic?** Should improve on user friendly and design **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helping us evaluate vendor risk ### 14. Streamlines the Security Questionnaire process **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dean M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2023 **What do you like best about Whistic?** We've found being proactive in sharing our security profile with prospects has cut down on the number of full questionnaires we have to answer. We'll get focused follow-up questions, but rarely a lengthy spreadsheet of questions. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** The new UI changes have taken some time to get used to. I haven't made up my mind if it's an improvement or not. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were receiving security questionnaires with a hundred or more questions (one was 800!). The time spent filling these in was a resource drain on pre-sales, sales and product development. Now we can proactively push the information out. Whistic has reduced the number of questionnaires we now have to fill in. It's more often a focused set of questions or a few clarifications. ### 15. Third-Party Risk Management made easy - thanks to Whistic! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Oge D. | Senior TPRM Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 30, 2023 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Whistic makes managing a Third-Party Risk Management program so much easier! There is a lot of work, attention to detail and reviewing of documentation that encompasses third-party or vendor risk management. Still, Whistic makes it easier to manage by providing a platform that allows thousands of businesses an opportunity to get in front of questionnaires by providing their information in their profile. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** There is not much to dislike about Whistic - it is a wonderful platform! The only thing I can say is that there is room for product development - Whistic is always open to thoughts and ideas on upgrades to the platform. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am the only person managing the Third-Party Risk Management program at my company, which is a huge feat! However, since implementing Whistic within our process, I have been able to conduct remediation on our existing vendors and set up a process for handling new or prospective vendors on Whistic's platform. This results in time and cost savings for me and my company. ### 16. Greatly reduced the number of questionnaires received. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2023 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Our Whistic profile saves us so much time in that it has greatly reduced the number of questionnaires and security calls required of our team. All of our info is in one place and ready to share. Our sales team loves it as does the security team. The vendor management side of the platform makes onboarding and ongoing risk management a breeze. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** There is not much of anything I dislike about Whistic. I do wish that all of our vendors had a profile in their catalog. Sometimes getting some companies to respond to the questionnaire requests can be a pain, but they are actively working on adding companies to their already robust trust catalog. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Client security reviews can be terribly time-consuming. Whistic helps cut down on that time by a lot. We can share our security profile even before being asked for the info. Our company has multiple pre-filled questionnaires ready to go so we do not have to fill out a new one most of the time. Our policies and certifications are ready for review by our customers or prospects. We'd often have to sit in on multiple security calls explaining our posture, but now just sharing our Whistic profile makes that unnecessary. Third-party vendor management is also a time-consuming endeavor. Chasing down SOC 2 reports and getting questionnaires back can be a hassle. Whistic's trust catalog makes information gathering and review so simple. ### 17. Whistic Review - IT/SAML implementation **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Monique W. | DevOps Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Whistic?** SAML support. I'm not a Whistic power user, as the (then) IT Sys admin, I helped implement it for our Security Director, and his team. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** Implementing SAML was a bit of an ordeal, we weren't able to do it without support from Whistic, though the support was great. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helps w/ security reviews for our security team and answering redundant questions. ### 18. Easy to use with all documents in one place **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Whistic?** I like that I have all the documents I need to send to my customers in one place. No longer having to track them down saves me a ton of time! **What do you dislike about Whistic?** There is nothing I dislike about Whistic! **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Saving me time from having to track down all the documents I need to show customers we are compliant. So easy! ### 19. Very easy to use **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brianna B. | Commercial Account Executive, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Whistic?** ability to send all documents to security **What do you dislike about Whistic?** There are no downsides of using the Whistic tool **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helping avoid technical security questions ### 20. Helps me get the job done! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2023 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Ease of use to share to my prospects and get their confidence in our security **What do you dislike about Whistic?** I dont use much other than just the share with prospect section **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps me share our security profile and accomplishments with my potential prospects and customers in deal cycles. ### 21. Better manage the vendor onboarding process **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Keeley B. | Executive Assistant, Information Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2023 **What do you like best about Whistic?** By streamlining the review and value processes, we can free up our time to focus on improving the quality of vendor management and refining our ability to measure its effectiveness. This data collection is efficient and reliable; it ensures that the responses come from legitimate users. In addition, with Whistic, all project contributors can quickly and easily work together on their answers, enabling them to respond faster to RFPs with greater accuracy and consistency. Using Whistic's tools gives you greater visibility and control of your vendor management process. As a result, you may save expenses and simplify vendor management. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** The inability to export questions with replies for the bulk update restricts users from efficiently updating queries and responses in bulk, as they must manually input any desired changes one at a time. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** The Whistic Assess and Historic Profile features allow us to identify vendors with the highest risk profiles and better manage the vendor onboarding process. Additionally, we can now capture an audit log detailing most changes made to vendor records in the Vendor Catalog. With these new capabilities, we are able to significantly reduce the risk associated with the onboarding process by ensuring all vendors meet our security and compliance requirements. ### 22. Great tool for self servicing information **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Easy to access and share information about risk management documents **What do you dislike about Whistic?** Some time the loading time of the portal could be faster. But it's still not bad! **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Whistic gives us the possibility to easily share information with customers ### 23. Intuitive and well thought out. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bryan U. | Security Governance, Risk & Compliance Lead, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Whistic?** I've used a lot of different platforms for third-party assessments, and I can confidently say Whistic is the best one. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** It is a bit complex to figure out how to do internal assessments. I am not entirely sure if this is one of the goals of the tool, but I can see it being used in the same way that you assess third parties. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Third-party assessment is very easy to track. The automatic recurrence on assessments makes it easy to schedule your due diligence assessment piece, so there are lots of different ways that Whistic takes the manual steps out of the process. ### 24. It's a nice platform. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Abhishek P. | Senior Application Engineer - AE2, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 07, 2022 **What do you like best about Whistic?** The appearance is good. Content are rich enough. No lags detected. Easy to find relevant requirements. Student friendly as well as researcher friendly interface. Great 👍 **What do you dislike about Whistic?** As of now, I have not find anything to dislike. Everything is working seamlessly. More tabs can be added for better search options. Rest is really good. Great experience. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** For risk managements, it's the primary tool to be used. In my case, it's been so benefiting as it removed any fear of any kind of loss or mismanagement because of it's great coverage areas. ### 25. Whistic makes my life easier **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2022 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Whistic's easy-to-use interface is a pleasure to use. It removes the stress from managing our vendors. This Risk Recon score and the breakdown by domain are super helpful. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** There's a lack of a threat monitoring and intelligence reporting presence. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Whistic's trust catalog is set up wonderfully. The ability to quickly obtain a complete profile of vendors has saved us so much time. ### 26. Great tool for Vendor Management! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2022 **What do you like best about Whistic?** The tool is very user friendly and great for collaborating with business units. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** It doesn't have the extend of cyber security monitoring that we were expecting, but the risk recon feature is an added plus. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** This solution is filling a gap in our Third-Party Risk Management program by incorporating automation and workflow to the process. ### 27. Deeper insights into vendors in shortened time frame **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Networking | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2022 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Gone are the days of collaborating in offline files and Jira tickets. Instead, all stakeholders can collaborate directly in the tool and automatics notify us when a vendor renewal is required. These enhancements have cut the time spent on vendor reviews by more than half. Whistic has not only streamlined our vendor security reviews; but, has also presented our team with more data to make informed decisions. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** Today, Whistic's tooling does not allow customizable fields when issuing an NDA. While this has presented some obstacles within our organization, the feature is slated to be enabled in CY22 Q2. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** With more data and a streamlined view into vendor response, our team is able to ask informed questions and make informed decisions regarding the vendors we contract. ### 28. Wouldn't have got SOC 2 certification without Whistic - it does the work no one wants to do! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jake B. | Head of Information Security, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2021 **What do you like best about Whistic?** Vendor risk assessments are not the "sexiest" thing in cybersecurity & not something anyone gets excited about doing. Still, they are a fundamental requirement of any effective security program &, as highlighted by recent data breaches, are a real concern to any company using or providing hosted services. Whistic makes this task both much more automatic and effective - it allows me to focus on more critical (& maybe more fun) tasks. If you are trying to run a security program with limited resources, then Whistic is a must. IT allows me to keep on top of assessing 100+ vendors by myself. This effort went under significant scrutiny as part of the SOC 2 & ISO 27001 certification process we recently underwent & I can safely say without Whistic we would not have obtained certification. Its automation & ease of use combined with fantastic reporting & ease of evidence sharing for auditors make it one of my must-have tools to build or mature any security program. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** There are some tweaks I'd like to see, including the ability to sort by multiple columns rather than a single column, a mobile app to give visibility to key metrics on the go, or the ability to scrape from vendor websites & pre-approve larger enterprises (e.g. auto-download security certification from AWS & approve without me having to contact etc). The other area for improvement is the development of the eco-system. The more vendors they can get to create & maintain security profiles the better this approach becomes & in doing so they will establish themsleves as fundamental to all security leaders. **Recommendations to others considering Whistic:** Get it! It makes vendor risk management so much easier. If you have a small team & need to focus their efforts on other things, this is as near to automation of VRM as you can get! **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** We don't have the resources, or the desire, to approach vendor risk in the traditional way by sending out, chasing, re-chasing & then reviewing questionnaires. Whistic solves that problem for us by automating the process & by providing a very easy to use user interface as well as a great way to catalogue & provide auditable processes. The security profile is a revalation! We are very transparent in our approach to security & it allows us to proactively share all our policies/procedures, self-assessments, certifications & external audit/pen testing with leads early in the sales cycle. It has significantly reduced the volume & size of security questionnaires we are being sent & driven short sales cycles. ### 29. Secury information in a secure way **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Program Development | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2022 **What do you like best about Whistic?** They have templates for questions that helps to track way faster the vendors and evaluate them also the whistic catalog **What do you dislike about Whistic?** To consolidate the information everything is in one place which makes it tricky for audits or inter process **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Protecting important data, standardized processes which therefore increases trust nad security with the customer ### 30. Saves me an incredible amount of time **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Scott T. | Client Partner - Large Client Solutions, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 08, 2021 **What do you like best about Whistic?** My favorite part of Whistic is when I receive an email from partners asking complicated legal and security questions (or RFPs), and in response, I send them a Whistic link, and presto, the problem is solved. Prior to having Whistic, that response could be weeks in the making trying to manage a seemingly endless email thread of cross-functional support. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** To my knowledge, it only allows one profile per client organization. It hasn't been an issue yet, but it would be nice to allow more log-ins for my partners. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Removing involving leagal and security teams from the RFP and standardized questions. ### 31. Exceptional Software and Time Saving **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christopher J. | Investor, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2021 **What do you like best about Whistic?** We receive hundreds of security and compliance-related inquiries. Not one of these requests were ever the same and they involved Excel spreadsheets, Google Docs and other unstructured systems. This made it impossible to ever build a "source of truth". I don't have to read old and outdated security documents no do I dread sharing how we protect and reference our compliance policies. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** That I didn't find out about the tool sooner. **Recommendations to others considering Whistic:** Review your past surveys, see how much time it takes you, and measure this. Whistic will save you 10X. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Whistic standardized our process and with one button in Salesforce, we proactively send our security posture to the procurement teams. ### 32. Whistic makes life easy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cameron W. | Premier Support Analyst , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2021 **What do you like best about Whistic?** I am a newer Security Professional and have found that Whistic makes sharing profiles, reviewing vendors, and getting documents/insights on those vendors a breeze. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** I haven't found any dislikes at this time. Everything is easy to use and find. **Recommendations to others considering Whistic:** Ask questions and make sure you are familiar with each section. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being new, I haven't had problems but a day to day process of easily sharing/reviewing makes communication and profile sharing easy. ### 33. Great platform and awesome customer support! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2021 **What do you like best about Whistic?** The Whistic platform is very intuitive, streamlined, and easy to use. In addition, the entire Whistic team has been so great to work with! The Whistic team has supported our needs as we navigate through our custom use case for the platform. They are open to hearing any feature suggestions that we come up with and are always willing to jump on a call with us to learn more about our needs.

Great tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2020 **What do you like best about Whistic?** It's a great vendor management tool. Able to request for questionnaire from prospect vendors easily and we can create custom forms internally for our business owners to submit the vendors they would like to use for our team to assess them. It's easily to manage on the interface and able to really categorize what type of vendors we have (high, med, low). I really like their new features where we able to retrieve the Compliance Attestation reports from there such as SOC and ISO reports. That really helps when we do our annual vendor assessment for our SOC Audit. There's a lot of great things about Whistic and able to really streamline of vendor management program and able to share our security profile for our customers too. Another feature I heavily use is the Security Profile section. We able to share our whitepapers on whistic with our customer and we like that we are able to enable NDA so that they are required to acknowledge it prior to seeing our documents. We been heavily using this function and sharing our documents externally. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** I think the only con think I can think of is that there's no way to change the configuration for admins to retrieve what kind of notifications from whistic, especially when we have a lot of vendors it's not necessary we need are the email notification and with the amount I retrieve it kind of turns into spam and I just filter our all the emails from whistic. I hope in the future they can send the configuration on whistic so I can select what kind of email notification I want and what is important to me. **Recommendations to others considering Whistic:** Great vendor management tool and able to manage and assess it based on your frequency of your process. It has a lot of great functions so you can really built out the vendor management program.

Compliant Answers have allowed us to spend less time reviewing answers to standard questions and more time on descriptive answers. The team has also been receptive to feedback and incorporated some of the feature requests in subsequent releases. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** We had some difficulty integrating Whistic with our identity provider for SAML SSO authentication, but it was sorted through subsequent discussions with the support team. Also, when creating a new questionnaire from an existing questionnaire, the settings for Compliant Answers for questions are not copied over, which makes it hard to set the Compliant Answers, especially when duplicating long questionnaires. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Whistic has helped us to meet our compliance requirements on third-party assessments across jurisdictions, even with a small team, while delivering significant time savings due to the automations in place. ### 41.

We can focus our time on review and value rather than process. I like that we can send a questionnaire to another party and the other party can then manage the response, including their own users. The Trust catalogue also helps us fast track new or potential suppliers through the evaluation process. We also like the ready made questionnaires based on industry standards that we could customise. **What do you dislike about Whistic?** There's opportunity for some more reporting templates. However, given we can extract what we need at anytime this is not a major issue. **Recommendations to others considering Whistic:** Having an out of the box solution that you configure and not customise has been great. It has simplified our processes and we no longer rely on spreadsheets and lots of manual tasks. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have 100's of third party suppliers and partners.

The team is receptive to product feature requests however, and has been excellent at incorporating feedback and proposing solutions. **Recommendations to others considering Whistic:** Think through all your assessment use cases before implementing, including how you will reassess vendors, how you will score questionnaires, etc. This will ensure there is less re-work as use expands. **What problems is Whistic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Whistic helps us achieve our compliance obligations by ensuring vendor risk is consistently and objectively evaluated across our vendor space.
