As a contributor (or pilot acting as a respondent) or supplier, you must go to the Contributions menu to complete an evaluation campaign. If your campaign includes multiple perimeters, you will have as many evaluations to complete as there are relevant or assigned perimeters.
💡If the campaign includes a questionnaire and a policy, the evaluation will always start with the questionnaire.
Responding to a questionnaire
All you have to do is click on the different sections of the questionnaire to answer them.
⚠️ Please note that when filling in a free text field, it is important not to reply with just a space, as this would prevent the evaluation from being submitted.
If you don't know what to answer, it's better to write a sentence or put NA
If you have already completed the same questionnaire for the same perimeter/application/provider, you can copy your previous answers and make any changes or clarifications.
🔎 Read this article to find out more about how to copy your previous answers.
🔎 Your evaluation is automatically saved as soon as you make a response or a change.
Once you have provided all the necessary answers, you must submit the questionnaire by clicking on Submit in the top right-hand corner:
And automatically, you move on to the policy (if a policy has been set up in the campaign)
Completing the evaluation of a policy
The scale set in your campaign is used as the response scale for your policy.
For example, here I've set it with the public scale Compliance, which allows you to have 2 responses Compliant (worth 0) and Non-compliant (worth 100) as well as the non-applicable which I've authorised:
Depending on the scale selected, I may also need to specify the level of compliance with a slider, as here:
🔎 The level of compliance specified in an evaluation is then used to obtain a declarative score on the policy and therefore to monitor your compliance afterwards.
1. Without managing measures and actions
If the campaign is not set up to implement measures and collect actions, you will simply have to respond to the evaluation by specifying your current level of compliance according to the scale set up in the evaluation campaign.
You can also add comments and evidence. Depending on the settings, this may also be compulsory.
2. With managing measures and actions
If the campaign is set up to associate measures and collect actions, you can do this directly during the evaluation.
For example, with this ISO 27001 evaluation campaign for the Bordeaux perimeter, I respond to the first control by stating that I comply with it. This automatically suggests measures associated with this control, which I can implement directly in my security base with associated run tasks:
However, for this control, I certify that I do not comply with it. I am therefore proposing to implement the measure and therefore to create an implementation action:

After submission
Once your evaluation has been submitted, you can no longer modify your answers: they go into review with the campaign pilot.
You retain visibility of your already submitted evidence, even after the evaluation has been submitted.
If the pilot rejects one or more answers, only those answers become editable again. Already approved answers remain locked and hidden by default: you therefore only need to revisit what has been rejected, not the entire evaluation.
You can exchange messages with the pilot via a comment thread, visible as soon as a first comment has been added on one of your answers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I modify an answer after submitting my evaluation?
No, not directly. You must wait for the pilot to reject the relevant answer during their review before you can modify it again.
If the pilot rejects only one of my answers, do I have to go through the entire evaluation again?
No. Only rejected answers become editable again; already approved answers remain locked and do not need to be reviewed. They can still be consulted by checking "show already approved responses."
Can I see the comments left by the pilot on my answers?
Yes, as soon as a first comment has been added on an answer, the corresponding comment thread becomes visible to you.
