No more chasing, no more answering twice

RAY does the work, so you understand your supplier risk.

Today, you and your subsidiary each send your own questionnaire, with the same questions. Each of you waits, sends the supplier a reminder and copies the answers. The supplier receives two questionnaires.

With RAY, the tool sends the questionnaire and the reminders to the supplier. Bright Cyde checks each piece of evidence and signs the report. The supplier answers once. You choose the supplier and read the signed report. Your subsidiary gets a score matched to the criticality of its prestation.

We check every answer before you see a result

  1. 1

    The supplier answers

    It declares each control point and attaches its evidence, from a link, with no account. The AI pre-fills its answers.

  2. 2

    RAY analyses

    RAY reads the evidence and, before sending, flags each divergence from the answer.

  3. 3

    A consultant validates

    The consultant sets the level of each point. RAY computes the score from those levels.

  4. 4

    A second person signs

    You receive a signed report, with a score for each domain.

Answer once, choose what your clients read

Does every client send you its own security questionnaire? With RAY, you declare once. Your company gives its agreement, and your dossier then serves the other clients under contract with Bright Cyde.

Under NIS2 (Art. 21), your clients bound by the directive must manage the security of their direct suppliers. With RAY, one up-to-date assessment spares you one questionnaire per client.

The AI pre-fills the answers and cites its source

“Pre-fill with AI” reads the text of the supplier’s evidence, proposes a level for each point and cites the passage that supports it. Before sending, the AI rereads the supplier’s declarations against its evidence. A Bright Cyde consultant then checks each point.

Are you a supplier? The AI reads the text of your evidence, never the files, and never trains on your data. Before sending, RAY removes the e-mail addresses, phone numbers and names of people it detects. Privacy policy

In preparation: API and MCP access to the RAY registry for authorised clients. The score and the summary travel with the supplier’s agreement. The detail remains subject to the supplier’s authorisation.

Example
Screenshot of the “Pre-fill with AI” step, on a demonstration supplier link. At point 44, “Technical architecture and Zero Trust principles”, the AI proposes level 2 and cites a passage of Certificat_ISO27001.pdf, page 1, in the evidence’s French: “L’accès aux serveurs d’administration exige une authentification forte.” The supplier confirms or corrects it.Screenshot of the check before sending, on the same link. At point 31, “Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)”, RAY flags a major divergence: the evidence covers server administration, not strong authentication for remote access. It cites the same passage.
