Do I need to review each answer before I submit it

Confirm each answer, don't look up each answer

Yes, in the sense that each suggested answer must pass by you before you click "yes, correct" or "no, adjust". But that is something different from looking up yourself whether the answer is correct: that work has already been done when the system retrieves the answer from the chain file. For a question about the number of employees or locations of establishments, the answer is already fixed in the file — you check whether it is current, not whether it is correct. That saves a lot of time with ten questionnaires per year, because you don't repeat research work that you already did last quarter.

Where confirmation is really work: questions that ask for a recent piece of evidence. A question about whether the undertaking is ISO 9001-certified has an expiry date on the certificate, and that runs out. A question about the ten measures of Article 21(2) of the NIS2 Directive has its own status for each measure — patching policy from last year is not automatically the patching policy now. There, confirming is not ticking a box, but checking whether the underlying evidence still covers what is stated. For questions without a file source, the system does not propose a "yes"; it marks it as outstanding, and you choose an answer yourself or leave it blank.

Why confirmation per answer is the standard

The platform does not explain, certify or assess anything — there is no score and no mark of approval from us. This means that responsibility for the content of each submitted answer remains with the company itself, not with the system that suggested the answer. Confirmation per answer is therefore not an extra verification step that you could skip, but the place where that responsibility is recorded. For a question about a continuity plan in case of serious disruption this difference is clear: the system recognizes that the question has been asked and retrieves the last recorded answer, but only the company knows whether that plan is still current.
